• Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes.
• Male reproductive health, as well as, female reproductive health are important aspects of the overall reproductive system as both are equally important to create a new organism.
• The importance of reproductive health is for a healthy state of physical and mental conditions in the human body where the proper functioning of reproductive organs takes place.
• All phases of reproduction can take place safely when reproductive health is well taken care of.
• The three components of reproductive health are family planning, sexual health, and maternal health.
• Family planning is one of the most important components of reproductive health.
• Family planning is the ability of a couple to anticipate and attain their desired number of offspring with proper spacing and timing between their births.
• This can be achieved via taking proper precautions and birth control methods.
• The use of contraceptives and treatment of involuntary infertility is an important part of family planning.
• Family planning and, more specifically, contraception, can protect teenagers from the physical, emotional and financial burden of unplanned pregnancy.
• When a pregnancy is unplanned, ill-timed, or too closely spaced, it affects the mother's health which, in turn, affects the health and safety of her unborn child.
• Sexual Health: This component of reproductive health deals with sexual relationships with a positive approach.
• Sexual Health does not only deal with the proper use of contraceptives for unwanted pregnancies but also with the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STI).
• Maternal health mainly refers to taking care of a woman’s health during the period of her pregnancy and to providing her the proper access to all the medical care and assistance that might be needed in cases of emergency.
