description This article aims to report the experience developed in a neighborhood of Montevideo (Uruguay) between 2016 and 2020 from a health service. This article is developed with the general objective of reflecting on the medicalization of gender inequalities in women's health care. The specific objectives are to analyze the impact of gender as a social determinant of health, describe frequent situations of medicalization of gender inequalities and share an alternative experience from health care to address the impact of health inequalities on the health of women. As a proposal to work on gender discomforts that lead to health consultations, this proposal seeks to discourage pathologizing interventions of gender discomforts and generate a therapeutic strategy based on working on the use of space and the use of time. This experience is a path for healing among women, believing that contact with the health care team can generate an opportunity for an empowerment process through time/space, discouraging the medicalization of gender inequalities.

Este artículo apuesta a relatar la propuesta desarrollada en un barrio de Montevideo (Uruguay) entre los años 2016 y 2020 desde un servicio de salud. Se desarrolla un relato de experiencia que tiene como objetivo general reflexionar sobre la medicalización de las desigualdades de género en la atención a la salud de las mujeres. Los objetivos específicos son analizar el impacto del género como determinante social de la salud, describir situaciones frecuentes de medicalización de las desigualdades de género y compartir una experiencia alternativa desde la atención de salud para abordar el impacto de las desigualdades en salud sobre la salud de las mujeres. Como propuesta para trabajar los malestares de género que llevan a las consultas de salud se busca construir una respuesta que apueste a desestimular intervenciones patologizantes de los malestares de género y generar una estrategia terapéutica basada en el trabajo sobre el uso del espacio y el uso del tiempo. Esta experiencia es un camino de búsqueda de sanar entre mujeres, apostando a que el contacto con el equipo de atención en salud pueda  generar una oportunidad para un proceso de empoderamiento a través de un tiempo/espacio desestimulando la medicalización de las desigualdades de género. Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar a proposta desenvolvida em um bairro de Montevidéu (Uruguai) entre 2016 e 2020 a partir de um serviço de saúde. Desenvolve-se um relato de experiência com o objetivo geral de refletir sobre a medicalização das desigualdades de gênero na atenção à saúde da mulher. Os objetivos específicos são analisar o impacto do gênero como determinante social da saúde, descrever situações frequentes de medicalização das desigualdades de gênero e compartilhar uma experiência alternativa de atenção à saúde para abordar o impacto das desigualdades em saúde na saúde das mulheres. Como proposta de trabalhar os desconfortos de gênero que levam às consultas de saúde, busca-se construir uma resposta que vise desencorajar intervenções patologizantes dos desconfortos de gênero e gerar uma estratégia terapêutica baseada no trabalho no uso do espaço e no uso do tempo. Essa experiência é um caminho de busca de cura entre as mulheres, apostando que o contato com a equipe de saúde pode gerar uma oportunidade para um processo de empoderamento através do tempo/espaço, desestimulando a medicalização das desigualdades de gênero.
