Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- Reproductive health encompasses the total well-being in all aspects of reproduction, including physical, emotional, behavioral, and social factors.
- It involves healthy reproductive organs and functioning.
- India initiated family planning programs in 1951 to promote reproductive health as a social goal.
- These programs have been assessed and improved over time to cover wider population groups.
Population Stabilisation and Birth Control
- Global population has increased significantly from 2 billion in 1900 to over 7 billion in 2011.
- Similar increase in India's population, now over 1.2 billion.
- Decreased infant and maternal mortality rates, along with increased reproductive age populations, contribute to population increase.
- Implementing family planning programs, including contraceptive use, is crucial for population stabilisation.
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
- Intentional termination of pregnancy before full term (induced abortion or MTP) is performed globally, 45 to 50 million/year.
- In India, MTP is legal, with guidelines and restrictions established to prevent misuse and ensure safety.
- MTPs are crucial for safety in certain circumstances, like danger to the mother's health, fetal abnormalities, or rape.
- MTP is considerably safer in the early stages of pregnancy.
- Illegal abortions, conducted by unqualified practitioners, result in potential complications and fatalities.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
- STIs, previously known as venereal diseases (VDs) or reproductive tract infections (RTIs), include gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, trichomoniasis, hepatitis-B, and HIV/AIDS.
- Infections can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood transfusion, sharing of needles, or from mother to child.
- Early detection and treatment are critical to prevent complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), abortions, stillbirths, ectopic pregnancies, infertility, and cancer.
- Importance of safe sexual practices and avoiding multiple partners to prevent STIs.
Infertility
- Inability to conceive after two years of unprotected sexual intercourse is considered infertility.
- Various assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), like in vitro fertilization (IVF), are now utilized to address infertility issues.
- IVF involves extracting eggs and sperm, fertilizing them in a lab, and then implanting the embryo in the uterus.
- Other methods include gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Contraceptive Methods
- Various contraceptive methods are available, including natural/traditional methods (like periodic abstinence), barrier methods (like condoms), intrauterine devices (IUDs), oral contraceptives, injectables, implants, and surgical methods (like vasectomy and tubectomy).
- Method selection should be based on individual needs and preferences, with input from qualified healthcare providers.
