Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- Reproductive health encompasses the total well-being in all aspects of reproduction—physical, emotional, behavioral, and social.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its functions and processes.
- India initiated national-level family planning programs in 1951 to achieve total reproductive health as a social goal.
Population Stabilization and Birth Control
- Population growth has dramatically increased due to improved health facilities and better living conditions.
- Global population: 2 billion in 1900, 6 billion in 2000, and 7.2 billion in 2011.
- India's population: Approximately 350 million at independence, nearing 1 billion by 2000 and exceeding 1.2 billion by May 2011.
- Lowering birth rates (currently < 2%) is crucial to prevent absolute scarcity of resources.
- Motivating smaller families through contraceptive methods is a key strategy.
Contraceptive Methods
- Natural/Traditional Methods: Avoiding coitus during the fertile period (days 10-17 of the menstrual cycle) or withdrawal (coitus interruptus). Lactational amenorrhoea method.
- Barrier Methods: Condoms (male and female), diaphragms, cervical caps, vaults, spermicides.
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Copper-releasing IUDs (CuT), non-medicated IUDs (Lippes loop) and hormone-releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20)
- Oral Contraceptives (Pills): Progestogens or progestogen-estrogen combinations, taken daily for 21 days.
- Injectable/Implants: Progestogens alone or in combination with estrogen, longer-lasting contraceptive options.
- Surgical Methods: Vasectomy (male) and Tubectomy (female), permanent sterilisation.
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
- Intentional or voluntary termination of pregnancy before full term.
- Legally permitted in India since 1971 with strict safeguards against misuse.
- MTP is usually done in the first 12 weeks, sometimes up to 20–24 weeks in very specific circumstances.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
- Infections transmitted through sexual contact.
- Includes diseases like Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Genital Herpes, Chlamydiasis, Genital Warts, Trichomoniasis, Hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS.
- Prevention: safe sexual practices, using condoms, early detection, and prompt medical attention.
Infertility
- Inability to conceive or produce children after two years of unprotected sexual intercourse.
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): methods to help couples overcome infertility problems like In vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT), and intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
