Write short note on Reproductive Health. |
|
Answer» Reproductive health is concerned with healthy and safe sexual practices. Unhealthy practices can lead to the transmission of disease from one partner to another and even to the offspring. Reproductive health also depends on healthy behavior and outlook towards sex life. Sexual maturation and body growth are gradual processes. Even with some degree of sexual maturation the body and mind are not mature enough for a sexual act, childbearing and bringing up children. As, sexual intercourse involves intimate physical contact between the male and female sex organs, it may transmit certain disease from one partner to another. Such diseases are called sexually transmitted disease (STDs). e.g. Bacterial infections such as gonorrhoea and syphilis, viral infections such as warts and HIV. |
