Reproductive/ Sexual Health

The working definition for sexual health is that it is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Reproductive Health addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled. Reproductive health, therefore, implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.

Sexually Transmitted Infection

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) is an infection passed from one person to another person through sexual contact. STIs are also called sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs. STIs are spread predominantly by sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Some STIs can also be spread through non-sexual means such as via blood or blood products or from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth. A person can have an STI without having obvious symptoms of disease. Common symptoms of STIs include vaginal discharge, urethral discharge or burning in men, genital ulcers, and abdominal pain.

Impotence

Impotence also known as Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.In other words "Infertility" is the inability of a sexually active, non-contracepting couple to achieve pregnancy in one year.

Gynecological Disorders

A gynecological disorder is a condition which affects the female reproduction organs, namely the breasts and organs in the abdominal and pelvic area including the womb (uterus), ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina and vulva.Virtually every woman will suffer a gynecological condition at some point in her life. It can be devastating or minor as well.

Urology

Urology is the field of medicine that focuses on diseases of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive tract.The organs under the domain of urology include kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs(testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis).

Sex Education

The working definition for sexual health is that it is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Reproductive Health addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled. Reproductive health, therefore, implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.

Birth Control

Birth control is the use of any practices, methods, or devices to prevent pregnancy from occurring in a sexually active woman. Also referred to as pregnancy prevention, fertility control, or contraception; birth control methods are designed either to prevent fertilization of an egg or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Birth control has been used since ancient times.There are many methods for birth control. The most effective methods of birth control are sterilization in both males and females, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and implantable birth control. This is followed by a number of hormone-based methods including oral pills, patches, vaginal rings, and injections.Less effective methods include physical barriers such as condoms, diaphragms and birth control sponges and fertility awareness methods. The least effective methods are spermicides and withdrawal by the male before ejaculation.

Reproductive Rights

Reproductive rights are the rights of individuals to decide whether to reproduce and have reproductive health. This may include an individual's right to plan a family, terminate a pregnancy, use contraceptives, learn about sex education in public schools, and gain access to reproductive health services. According to WHO: Reproductive rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. They also include the right of all to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence.

Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Obstetrics and Gynaecology is the medical speciality dealing with fields of obstetrics and gynaecology.Gynaecology means treating women who aren’t pregnant, while obstetrics deals with pregnant women and their unborn children, but there is lots of crossover between the two.Involves surgical procedures like: hysterectomy, oophorectomy, tubal ligation, laproscopy, laprotomy, cystoscopy, Vaginal and cesarean deliveries, episiotomy.

Sexual Dysfunction/Sexual Malfunction

Sexual Dysfunction or sexual malfunction is the major Problem in reproduction due to the difficulty of an individual or couple during normal sexual activity with various reasons from each partner. Sexual dysfunction refers to a condition occurring during any time of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity.

The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Desire and arousal are both part of the excitement phase of the sexual response. Sexual dysfunction may be due to physical or psychological conditions such as diabetes, heart and vascular (blood vessel) disease, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic diseases such as kidney or liver failure, and alcoholism, drug abuse, work-related stress and anxiety, concern about sexual performance, marital or relationship problems, depression, feelings of guilt, concerns about body image, and the effects of a past sexual trauma.

Reproductive Endocrinology

Reproductive Endocrinology is the science of detailed study on diagnosis and treatment of infertility.

Reproductive Endocrinology covers the areas such as gametogenesis, fertilization, early embryonic development, embryo-uterus interaction, reproductive development, pregnancy, uterine biology, endocrinology of reproduction, control of reproduction, reproductive immunology.

Reproductive endocrinologist utilizes surgery, medicine, or techniques such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and egg freezing for treating infertility. A reproductive endocrinologist is also involved in the diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), abnormalities of the reproductive system and also perform fertility preservation.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Sex Hormone Replacement Therapy is the form of therapy in reproduction biology wherein hormones are replaced for the lack or deficiency from the required amounts or as a substitute for naturally occurring hormones. The therapies widely used in Hormone replacement therapy include replacement for Menopause, gender and androgens. Sex Hormones Replacement Therapy is the major reproductive science which includes clear research of basic use of drugs and techniques for replacement. Sex Hormone replacement therapy includes major side effects which are yet to be explored.
