Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to identify in the literature the health approaches to sexuality and gender in men's health.  Methods: To this end, we chose to conduct an Integrative Review using the LILACS, PUBMED and SCIELO databases, studies in Portuguese, English and Spanish, available in full and published in the period from 2015 to 2019. The sample of The study was composed of 11 articles, constructing two thematic categories: Gender approaches to men's health and Approaches to sexuality, sexual, reproductive health and paternity in male health. Results: The articles evidenced a compendium of important knowledge about men's health, identifying that the approaches of gender and male sexuality are influenced by the sociocultural context of the stereotype of male identity with the need for the resignification of men in the health context in Brazil. Final Considerations: Therefore, attention to these actions in the context of primary health care is recommended, aiming at actions focusing on male singularities and vulnerabilities, care for the health promotion of this population and stimulating involvement as a family health producer, providing greater participation and empowerment of men in health.
