- Methods to promote reproductive health include:
- Creating awareness through audio-visual and print media
- Encouraging the introduction of sex education in schools
- Providing proper information about reproductive organs, adolescence, safe sexual practices, and sexually transmitted diseases
Sex Education
- Sex education is encouraged in schools to:
- Discourage children from believing in myths and having misconceptions about sex-related aspects
- Promote traditional values
- Discourage the use of contraceptives
Amniocentesis
- Amniocentesis is a technique for the diagnosis of genetic disorders before birth.
- It involves the collection of amniotic fluid.
- There is a statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination to legally check the increasing menace of female foeticides.
Contraception
- Contraception methods include:
- Natural methods (e.g. periodic abstinence, lactational amenorrhea)
- Barrier methods (e.g. condoms, diaphragms)
- Hormonal methods (e.g. oral pills, IUDs)
- Surgical methods (e.g. vasectomy, tubectomy)
- Ideal characteristics of a contraceptive include:
- User-friendly
- Easily available
- Effective
- Reversible
Population Growth
- The world population around 1900 was 1 billion, and it reached 7.2 billion by 2011.
- Probable reasons for the explosive growth of the population in the last century include:
- Decrease in death rate, maternal mortality rate (MMR), and infant mortality rate (IMR)
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
- ART includes:
- In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
- Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)
- Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)
- Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- These techniques involve the manipulation of sperm and ova outside the body to assist those who are infertile.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
- Preventive measures against STIs include:
- Avoiding sex with unknown or multiple partners
- Using condoms
- Limiting physical contact with infected individuals
- STIs can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory diseases, stillbirths, ectopic pregnancies, and even reproductive tract cancer.
Maternal and Child Health
-
Decreased maternal and infant mortality rates are attributed to:
- Increased number of medically assisted deliveries
- Better post-natal care
-
Menstrual hygiene management is crucial for preventing reproductive health issues in women.
-
Poor menstrual hygiene can lead to infections and complications like reproductive tract infections.### Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)
-
IUI is not a technique used in in vitro fertilization.
-
In IUI, sperm is collected from either the husband or a healthy donor.
-
In IUI, sperm is artificially introduced into the vagina or uterus.
-
IUI is a distinct technique from in vitro fertilization.
