bone fractures, joint swelling, seizures, loss of sight and hearing, among other conditions, women report suffering physical harm from their partner. But those suffering from mental abuse have other complications, some serious.
psychological abuse that a woman can receive from your partner is as bad as physical, according to a recent study by the University of South Carolina (U.S.). "We found that mental violence was associated with many consequences for physical health rudeness committed by an intimate partner," says research director, Ann Coker.
reaching this conclusion the researchers questioned women admitted 1.152 or treated in different hospitals, for a period of two years (ending in January 1999). Thanks to this work found that 54% of respondents had had any problems in physical or psychological abuse by their partner.
Meanwhile, 14% said they had received no physical violence, psychological abuse, mental abuse defined as continuous feelings of danger and loss of power and control. When discussing their health problems, this group of women showed the same low esteem as those who received physical abuse, causing poor vision of his physical and mental health.
As part of the study, noted that women subjected to psychological abuse were twice as likely to suffer from chronic pain, sexually transmitted infections chronic pelvic pain, stomach ulcers, colon spasms and migraine, as compared with those who maintained a stable relationship.
Finally, Ann Coker stated that "as with the monitoring of chronic diseases, early detection of domestic abuse could lead to an effective intervention to reduce the number of such events and mortality associated with them."
In Mexico, the psychological and physical abuse is more common than believed, although few people looking for specialized help. If you are in a similar situation or knows someone with this problem deemed to exist in the country, many civil associations working to support victims of this type of behavior, they can be instructed to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
