Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of
complete physical, mental and social wellbeing in all
matters relating to the reproductive system.

It implies that people are able to have a satisfying and

safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the freedom
to decide if, when, and how often to do so.
 Improved sexual and reproductive health directly
underpins goals 3–8 and indirectly affects the
achievement of goals 1 and 2.

01. "Eradicate extreme poverty and

hunger"

Smaller families and wider birth intervals as the result

of contraceptive use allow families to invest more in
each child's nutrition and health, and can reduce
poverty and hunger for all members of a household.
02. "Achieve universal primary education"

Families with fewer children, and children

spaced further apart, can afford to invest more
in each child's education. This has a special
benefit for girls, whose education may have
lower priority than that of boys in the family.
 "Promote gender equality and empower
03. women"

Controlling whether and when to have children is a

critical aspect of women's empowerment. Women
who can plan the timing and number of their births
also have greater opportunities for work, education
and social participation outside the home.
04. "Reduce child mortality"

Prenatal care and the ability to avoid high-risk births

(e.g., those to very young women and those spaced
closely together) help prevent infant and child
deaths. Children in large families are likely to have
reduced health care, and unwanted children are
more likely to die than wanted ones.
05. "Improve maternal health"

Preventing unplanned and high-risk pregnancies and

providing care in pregnancy, childbirth and the
postpartum period save women’s lives.
06. "Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
diseases"
Sexual and reproductive health care includes
preventing and treating sexually transmitted
infections, including HIV/AIDS. In addition,
reproductive health care can bring patients into the
health care system, encouraging diagnosis and
treatment of other diseases and conditions.
07. "Ensure environmental sustainability"

Providing sexual and reproductive health services,

and avoiding unwanted births, may help stabilize
rural areas, slow urban migration and balance
natural resource use with the needs of the
population.
08. "Develop a global partnership for
development"
Affordable prices for drugs to treat HIV/AIDS and a
secure supply of contraceptives would greatly
advance reproductive health programs, and are
especially needed in the leastdeveloped countries.

The Importance of
Reproductive
Health
• Reproductive health is not just about sex. It is part of a
holistic health program starting from early age teaching
values and understanding the anatomy and physiology of
their bodies.

• This education continues when they are young adults to

have safe and acceptable access to methods of fertility
regulation of their choice and the right to have access to
appropriate healthcare services that enables women to go
safely through pregnancy and childbirth as stated in the
WHO definition.

Sexual Transmitted
Disease and Other
Reproductive
Disease
• Sexually transmitted infections (STI), also referred to as
sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and venereal
diseases (VD), are illnesses that have a signifi cant
probability of transmission between humans by means
of human sexual behavior, including vaginal
intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex.

• While in the past, these illnesses have mostly been

referred to as STDs or VD, in recent years the term
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been
preferred, as it has a broader range of meanings; a
person may be infected, and may potentially infect
others, without having a disease.
Transmission
As may be noted from the name, sexually
transmitted infections are transmitted from
one person to another by certain sexual
activities, rather than being actually caused
by those sexual activities.
Prevention
Healthcare professionals suggest safer sex,
such as the use of condoms, as the most
reliable way of decreasing the risk of
contracting STIs during sexual activity, but
safer sex should by no means be considered
an absolute safeguard.
The reproductive systems of males and
females open to the external environment,
and therefore, the organs can be easily
reached by infectious organisms. The
diseases may then spread to deeper organs
of the human body.
COMMON REPRODUCTIVE INFECTION DISEASE

Gonorrhea. Is the mostreported infectious

disease worldwide. The etiologic agent is the
Gramnegative diplococcus Neisseria
gonorrhoeae. The organism attaches to the
epithelial cells of the male and female urethra
causing urethritis.
Transmission occurs during sexual contact,
and males exhibit more extensive symptoms
than do females, with pain on urination and a
whitish discharge from the urethra. Treatment
with tetracycline, penicillin, and other
antibiotics is usually successful.
Chlamydia. A gonorrhealike infection called chlamydia
is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, a member of the
chlamydia group of bacteria. The disease is often
referred to as nongonococcal urethritis to distinguish
it from gonorrhea. It is accompanied by pain during
urination, a frequent desire to urinate, and a watery
discharge.
Mycoplasmal and ureaplasmal urethritis. Mycoplasmal
urethritis is caused by a mycoplasma known as
Mycoplasma hominis, while ureaplasmal urethritis is
due to a mycoplasma known as Ureaplasma
urealyticum.
Syphilis. Syphilis has been known to exist for many
centuries and was once known as the Great Pox. It is
caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum.
Transmitted by sexual contact, the etiologic agent
causes a disease occurring in three stages.
The primary stage is accompanied by the chancre, a
raised, hard, dry, crusty sore occurring at the site of
infection. Spirochetes observed from the chancre
constitute diagnosis. Penicillin therapy at this stage is
successful.
The secondary stage of syphilis occurs several weeks
after the chancre disappears. This stage is
accompanied by an influenzalike syndrome of the
respiratory system, a skin rash over the body surface
with spirocheteladen lesions (pox), loss of hair, and
mild fever.
This stage is probably an immunological reaction. It is
characterized by gummy, rubbery masses of
damaged tissues called gummas occurring in the
nervous and cardiovascular systems. In the most
severe cases, aneurysms and paralysis may develop
and mental deficiencies may become severe.
Treatment at this stage is not always successful.
Congenital syphilis may occur if spirochetes pass
between a pregnant woman and her fetus. Numerous
diagnostic tests exist for the detection of both
spirochetes and antibodies produced against the
spirochetes.
Chancroid. Infection of the reproductive tract may be
due to Haemophilus ducreyi. This small,
Gramnegative rod causes an STD called chancroid.
The disease is characterized by a swollen, painful
ulcer on the genital organs, with infection of the
lymph nodes called buboes.
Vaginitis. Another disease of
bacterial origin is vaginitis due to
Gardnerella vaginalis. The
bacterium is a Gramnegative rod
commonly found in the vagina as
an opportunistic organism. Often
the infection is associated with
the destruction of lactobacilli
normally found in the vaginal tract
(such as by excessive antibiotic
use).
Genital herpes. The herpes simplex virus is
responsible for cases of genital herpes. The virus is
a DNA icosahedral virion, the same virus that
causes cold sores of the mouth. However, the
strain of virus is usually type II in genital herpes
(type I in cold sores). Painful urination
accompanies the disease, and fluidfilled vesicles
occur on the genital organs.
Genital warts. Is considered a viral disease. Most
cases are due to papillomaviruses, which have
DNA. Warts may be smooth and flat or large with
fingerlike projections. Often the condition is called
condyloma acuminatum.
