Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- Reproductive health encompasses physical, emotional, and social well-being regarding reproductive processes.
- WHO defines reproductive health as holistic well-being in all aspects of reproduction.
- A reproductively healthy society has normal reproductive organ function and healthy interactions regarding sex.
Problems and Strategies
- India was a pioneer in initiating national family planning programs in 1951 to achieve reproductive health.
- Current initiatives include Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs that address broader reproductive issues.
- Legal prohibitions on sex determination tests (like amniocentesis) aim to combat female foeticide.
- Government and NGOs support research for improved reproductive health strategies.
- The oral contraceptive ‘Saheli’ was developed in India to provide safer options for women.
Population Explosion
- Global population grew from around 2 billion in 1900 to approximately 6 billion by 2000.
- India's population expanded from roughly 350 million at independence to over 1 billion by 2000.
- Causes of rapid population growth include improved health services, declining death rates, and an increase in reproductive age population.
- Despite RCH efforts, the population growth rate in India was about 1.7% as of the 2001 census, indicating a slow-down rather than a stop in growth.
Birth Control Methods
- Emergency contraceptives (progestogens, IUDs) can prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse.
- Surgical sterilization for males (vasectomy) and females (tubectomy) are permanent methods to prevent conception.
- Contraceptive choices should be made in consultation with medical professionals to minimize health risks.
- Contraceptives, though not essential for reproductive health, play a critical role in controlling population growth.
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
- MTP refers to the voluntary termination of pregnancy before full term, often for emotional, social, or health-related reasons.
- Adoption is endorsed as a viable option, addressing the issue of orphaned children.
- MTP is legal in India and is performed in specific circumstances, such as risks to the mother or fetus.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- STDs are diseases transmitted through sexual contact and can lead to severe complications like infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease.
- Prevention includes avoiding multiple sexual partners and using protection (condoms).
Infertility
- Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after two years of unprotected intercourse.
- Techniques like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), commonly known as the 'Test Tube Baby' approach, assist infertile couples.
General Improvements
- Improved reproductive health is indicated by lower maternal and infant mortality rates and better STD management.
- Awareness and counseling regarding reproductive health are vital for societal improvement.
- Continuous efforts are necessary to promote safe practices and educate the public on reproductive issues.
