This bulletin is being sent by the Health Care Authority (HCA) in partnership with the Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP).
Written by Keri Garel, MD, Meera N, MD, MA, Lakshmi Sundaresan, MD (All authors equally contributed to this work.)
Patient-centered pain management that prioritizes bodily and reproductive autonomy is essential to centering reproductive justice in the provision of reproductive health care, especially given the history of reproductive violence and coercion towards structurally marginalized communities. This article highlights pain management considerations for patients with substance use disorder (SUD) undergoing in-office gynecologic procedures, as well as those taking medication for SUD. Centering trauma-informed care, abolition, and harm reduction in addition to reproductive justice and patient autonomy as praxes are particularly important to providing equitable care for this population.
