PART ONE: INFORMATION ON YOUR HEALTH

Are you a foreign woman in Italy? You have a RIGHT to your HEALTH IF YOU HAVE VALID IMMIGRATION PAPERS: If you have a valid immigrant visa (permesso di soggiorno): - go to the CUP (appointment and assistance center) nearest you; - bring your immigrant visa, tax code (codice fiscale), and certificate of residence; - sign yourself up to the National Health Care System (SSN) - get a HEALTH CARE CARD (tessera sanitaria) IF YOU DON'T HAVE VALID IMMIGRATION PAPERS: If you DON'T have a valid immigrant visa, you can: - go to the CUP (appointment and assistance center) nearest you with an identification card or a photo certified by the municipality; - ask for an STP card (Temporarily-Present Foreigner), called the “TESSERA VERDE”, valid for 6 months. This card will give you the right to free treatment by a general health care practitioner (doctor). The card is renewable when it expires.You can have your own doctor and take care of your health. Specifically, you can get information and support free of charge about: PREGNANCY and ABORTION, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES, PREVENTION

5


PREGNANCY

All pregnant women, legally or illegally present in Italy, have the right to access all medical check-ups and specialized visits related to protecting their pregnancy, free of charge.

6

If you don't get your period and you think you might be pregnant: You can immediately get your blood tested. There are two ways to do this: - go to a clinic and ask a gynecolo gist to make an appointment for a blood test at the Health Clinic (Poliambulatorio) located in Piazzale Europa, or go to a private clinic (at a cost of about 17â‚Ź to 30â‚Ź) where you do not need a reservation; - do a urine test at a local pharmacy. This can be useful, but a blood test is more rapid, more accurate, and it will also tell you how many weeks into the pregnancy you are. To prevent pregnancy: ALWAYS USE A CONDOM Only a condom will also protect you from sexually transmitted diseases while preventing unwanted pregnancy.


You can also use other methods of birth control, recommended and prescribed by the gynecologists that you meet in the health clinics. These methods are: the BIRTH CONTROL PILL (to be taken at the same time every day) there are 2 kinds of pill 1. A pill you must take everyday for 21 days 2. A pill you must take everyday for 28 days The 21-day pill: You take the pill at the same time each day for 21 days (an entire box), then, when you finish the box, you will get your period. After a seven-day interval you must start a new box (each new pill box should be started on the same weekday). Be careful if you vomit or if you have diarrhea. Be careful if you forget to take a pill: EVEN IF YOU SKIP ONLY ONE PILL YOU CAN GET PREGNANT. The 28-day pill: You take this pill everyday and you will menstruate regularly. You can buy the birth control pill at the pharmacy with a gynecologist's prescription. Buy the next box before you finish the box you are using

7


The BIRTH CONTROL PATCH (once a week) You apply the patch to your skin and keep it on for one week. The second week you replace it with a new patch, and you do the same the third week (3 different patches for three consecutive weeks) Do not use the patch on the fourth week. You will menstruate during the fourth week. Be careful not to get the patch wet, not to remove it, and not to always put it in the same place.

The VAGINAL RING (once a month) A small, soft ring that you insert into your vagina and leave in for three weeks. After three weeks you remove it and menstruate normally. You must stop use for one week and then insert a new ring. It does not cause irritation and you can take it out before having intercourse.

8

IMPORTANT: The pill will not make you sterile. When you decide to have a child, just stop taking it and you can continue leading a normal


and healthy sexual life. CAUTION! If the condom breaks, if you forgot to use it, or if you are are afraid that you've become pregnant and you cannot or do not want to keep the baby:

YOU CAN USE THE “MORNING-AFTER PILL� WITHIN 48 HOURS OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. To buy the pill at the pharmacy, ask your doctor or go to a health clinic. It is your right to have access to this pill and, by law, you cannot be denied it.

ABORTION

Abortion is legal in Italy within the first 3 months of pregnancy (law no. 194). It is a free service, carried out in a hospital. If you are from a country which has recently become part of the European Union (for example Romania or Bulgaria), you must verify whether the Region of Umbria has already put the Italian norms regarding health care services for foreigners in Italy into effect. According to these norms, foreign women from within the European Union have the same access to health services as Italian women in cases of pregnancy and abortion, and

9


therefore the services are free of charge. If you have an international health card – which you must get in your country of origin – you can use local health services at no extra cost. If you do not have an international health card, you can still have an abortion in a hospital. It is safe but it can be very costly (approx. 1,500 €) CAUTION! Aborting by yourself is extremely dangerous. Aborting more than once is bad for your body. It is illegal to ask for money in return for performing an abortion. DO NOT use Cytotec: it can seriously harm you. It is very dangerous and can cause serious damage to your intestine (internal bleeding, puncturing). If you take Cytotec to abort without a doctor's prescription you cause grave damage to your body and your menstrual cycle may become irregular as a result.

10

How abortion in a hospital works: Under law 194, you can have an abortion IN A HOSPITAL within the first 90 days after your last menstruation (this will be attested through an ultrasound scan). To interrupt your pregnancy you MUST: Request an abortion at a health clinic and be examined by a doctor (you do not need to reserve an appointment for an abortion request). What to bring:


- Blood test results (hormone count) - Health care card (or STP card) - ID card (or certified photo)

What the gynecologist does: examines you gives you a paper to sign with the abortion request gives you a paper for the ultrasound scan

To book the date of an abortion: - In the morning, go to the hospital's gynecology clinic - the day hospital - Always remember to bring all needed documents with you (health care card, ID card, test results, ultrasound and abortion requests) and arrive before 10:00 am. Ask for an obstetrician. You can have an abortion performed at any hospital in the Region. Always remember to bring all needed documents with you. S. MARIA DELLA MISERICORDIA HOSPITAL S.

The Abortion Abortions are carried out within the course of one day, by appointment. Usually hospital admission is at 7:00 am and 7:30 am, while hospital discharge is between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm of the same day. You will be given a paper on which the following is written: - what to bring (nightgown, sanitary napkins, underwear, slippers) - that you should not wear make up, nail polish, or jewelry


- that you should not eat or drink after midnight of the night before It is better if someone comes with you to the hospital. If this is not possible, bring food and water that you can keep near you for after you wake up from the anesthetic, only after the doctor tells you it is alright to eat again. When you feel better you can go home.

After the abortion After the abortion you must: - take the medicine the doctor has prescribed for you - begin to take the pill that same evening if you have decided to use a contraceptive - try not to have sexual intercourse for at least 15 days - after 15 days have passed, have a gynecological check-up at the clinic If you experience consistent blood loss or fever, you must immediately contact the hospital where you had the abortion performed. Remember: Aborting many times can severely damage your body and you may not be able to have children one day if you want them. For this reason, we recommend that you use hormonal contraceptives (the pill, the patch, or the vaginal ring).

13


SEXUALLY TRASMITTED DISEASES

These are diseases transmitted through RISKY SEXUAL RELATIONS (intercourse without a condom with random partners or with stable partners who have engaged in risky sexual relations themselves). The most common of these DISEASES are: chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and SYPHILIS, AIDS, genital warts, human papillomavirus, herpes, hepatitis B and C, yeast infections The most common SYMPTOMS are: - vaginal discharge; - pain in the lower abdomen; - frequent need to urinate (to pee); - pain or burning when you pee; - itching or lesions of any kind in genital and anal areas; - pain and bleeding during and/or after sexual intercourse. If you think you have any of these symptoms GO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY! PREVENTION is the only way to protect yourself! To avoid getting infected: use a CONDOM and have periodic medical check-ups! 14


AIDS and HIV AIDS stands for “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome� and it is caused by the HIV virus. The INFECTION is transmitted by the blood, sperm, or vaginal secretions of someone who has the virus through: -risky sexual intercourse; -the exchange of infected needles; -wounds caused by needles or other contaminated objects (for example, tattoo needles, razors for shaving). The VIRUS can also be transmitted by an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, birth, or through breast feeding.

The most common SYMPTOMS are: -fever; -weight loss; -tiredness; -sweating; -diarrhea; -headaches; -swelling of the liver and spleen. CAUTION! Even if you do not have any of these symptoms you could still be infected! Get a test done to be sure! The blood test is free and the results are only given to you. You can have the test done free of charge and

15


16

in full respect of your privacy at: -the Foreigners' Clinic (ambulatorio immigranti) in via XIV settembre, Perugia, Mondays and Tuesdays (11am-1pm) – Wednesdays (11am-12pm) – Thursdays (3- 5pm) and Fridays (4-5pm) -at the Infectious Disease Clinic at the Silvestrini Hospital in Perugia before 9 am. Results are available after one week's time. If the TEST is POSITIVE, then you have the virus but you do not necessarily have the disease yet. You must immediately have other tests done, and if it is necessary, a doctor will prescribe treatment for you. You can do everything free of charge and you don't need to have any documents! AIDS today is treatable, so it is important to know about your health because if you have AIDS, doctors can treat you and allow you to live a normal life, even if you have the virus. IMPORTANT If you need to move to a different city, go to the hospital, explain your situation and you can continue getting treatment! If the test is negative it means you DON'T have the virus. It is a good idea to have this test done every 6 months in any case, in order to always be sure that you do not have the VIRUS! PREVENTION is the only way to protect yourself! To avoid being infected:


ALWAYS USE A CONDOM and have periodic check-ups! To use a condom correctly: - make sure the expiration date on the package has not passed; - keep the condom in a cool and dry place, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight - do not keep it in your wallet or in the car when it is hot outside. Once the condom package has been opened, use the condom immediately. Be careful not to tear it with your fingernails or other sharp objects such as rings, belts, and belt buckles. Put the condom on the penis when it is erect, before there is any bodily contact, because there can also be some sperm release before climax (ejaculation), which can pass on the virus and other sexually transmitted diseases. If a condom irritates your skin, etc., change the type of condom you are using. You will find one that works for you! To facilitate condom usage: use a liquid-based lubricator DO NOT use lubricators with oil or alcoholic bases, like Vaseline, or certain suppository capsules or creams, because they can break down the condom. Lubricators increase the safety of a sexual encounter because they help keep the condom intact. Use a condom with your partner as well, to avoid the transmission of diseases (at least until you

17


are sure that he is healthy too).

DRUGS If you use drugs or alcohol, or if someone in your family uses them, know that the risk of contracting diseases increases and they become more difficult to treat. Under Italian law, the only legal drug is alcohol, everything else is illegal. If you need more information or help, you can contact S.E.R.T. or C.A.B.S. ALCOHOL If you need information or help about situations concerning alcohol use, you can contact GOAT.

USEFUL ADVICE

18

Eat healthily, that is to say: - eat a lot of fruits and vegetables; - drink a lot of still water; - avoid the excessive use of alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes. We recommend that you always write down the first day of your period, so that you can know if your period is regular or not. A menstrual cycle usually only lasts 28-30 days. If yours varies more than this, there may be something wrong: If you go to a gynecologist, she/he can help you


PREVENTION or OTHER MEDICAL VISITS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE TO CARE FOR YOUR HEALTH

The pap smear The pap smear is a cytology exam that analyzes cell alterations in the vagina and cervix. The pap smear can also provide useful information about a woman's hormonal equilibrium and it allows for the identification of infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal). During the exam, a small quantity of cells from the cervix of the uterus are scraped off. These samples are analyzed in a laboratory and there can be different results. The results reflect the different probabilities of developing cervical cancer in the future, or the presence of a cervical tumor. In general, in the case of a “non negative� result, the exam is repeated or other, more detailed exams are carried out immediately after the original pap smear.The sample must be taken at a distance from sexual intercourse, menstruation, the use of vaginal washes, capsules, or other suppositories. This exam can be carried out during pregnancy as well. According to European and National Ontological Commission guidelines, women from the ages of 25-65 should have this test done at least once every three years. To have a pap smear, ask an obstetrician at a health clinic.

19


Mammography. A mammography is a radiologi cal exam that allows for a detailed analysis of the breast tissue through the use of X-rays. To have healthy breasts, you must eat a balanced diet, have an active lifestyle, and take preventative measures such as the breast self-examination and the mammography, which should be done once a year for women 40 years old and older. This way, tumors can be identified and stopped in their early stages. How a mammography is done A radiologist places the breast onto a special shelf-like part of the mammography machine, and it is lightly compressed by a plate (usually made of transparent Plexiglas or another plastic material). The technician compresses the breast gradually. Ask for advice at the health clinic. Appointments can be made and exams carried out at the Silvestrini Hospital breast exam clinic. If you are pregnant, it is better not to have radiological examinations.

20


The Mantoux Test (Tuberculin Sensitivity Test) This is a simple test that is used to verify whether you have been in contact with the germ responsible for tuberculosis (TB). A substance (tuberculin) is injected into the skin of the forearm, through a small prick (injection) that is not painful. You should not wet, rub, or apply cream on the skin of your injected arm after the injection. After 72 hours, a red puffy area could appear on your skin where the test was performed (a positive result): This means that your body has developed its defenses against the TB germ. However, to understand whether you are ill, you must have other exams done, such as a radiological exam of your lungs, and you must see a specialized doctor. If there is no reaction on your skin, your test is negative. You must go back to the doctors who administered your test to confirm your result. Where to have the test done: Polo di Riabilitazione Respiratoria e Prevenzione Tisiopneumologica Via della Pallotta, no. 42 (Grocco Service Center) - Perugia - Tel. 075 5412690
