According to WHO reproductive health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, reproductive health, or sexual health/hygiene, addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life.In my view,reproductive health is that state an which people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safer sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this are the right of men and women to be informed of and to have access to safe, e
ffective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choice, and the right of access to appropriate health care services that will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.Waiting until mother is at least 18 years old before trying to have children improves maternal and child health.If an additional child is desired, it is considered healthier for mother, as well as for the succeeding child, to wait at least 2 years after previous birth before attempting to conceive (but not more than 5 years).After a miscarriage or abortion, it is healthier to wait at least 6 months.
Reproductive health helps to reduce the maternal mortality rate as well as infant mortality rate. A reduction of maternal mortality rates and a narrowing of disparities in maternal mortality within countries and between geographical regions, socio-economic and ethnic groups.Everyone has the right to enjoy reproductive health,which is a basis for having healthy children, intimate relationships and happy families. Reproductive health teaches that every child is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect. Reproductive health is the very essential part of human life.Everyone should get chance to get information about it.
