Resumo
A prática do ponto do marido, seja ela realizada com ou sem consentimento, continua sendo uma questão preocupante na assistência obstétrica, exemplificando uma violação da autonomia da paciente e dos direitos reprodutivos. A pouca conscientização das mulheres no pós-parto sobre seus direitos e a possível criminalidade do procedimento perpetuam sua prevalência. Isso ressalta a necessidade urgente de iniciativas educacionais voltadas tanto para casais quanto para profissionais de saúde envolvidos na assistência ao parto. Ao aumentar a compreensão das implicações éticas e legais do ponto do marido, essas iniciativas visam capacitar as pessoas a defenderem seus direitos reprodutivos e sua autonomia. Além disso, educar a equipe de saúde sobre os impactos físicos e psicológicos das intervenções obstétricas não consensuais é fundamental para garantir o atendimento centrado na paciente e evitar danos às populações vulneráveis. Iniciativas abrangentes de educação são essenciais para abordar os fatores subjacentes que contribuem para a persistência do Husband's Stitch e promover uma cultura de consentimento informado e prática ética nos ambientes de atendimento obstétrico.
