RSH components everyone should know

  
   Hello friends,

I hope you were enlightened by my previous post. I am delighted to share the components of reproductive health to you. It will surprise you to know that virtually all ages are involved when it comes to reproductive and sexual health. Hence, the need to practice healthy lifestyles at all ages.

  


            The components of RSH are:

• Family planning/birth spacing services 
• Antenatal care, skilled attendance at delivery, and postnatal care 
• Management of obstetric and neonatal complications and emergencies 
• Prevention of abortion and management of complications resulting from unsafe abortion 
• Prevention and treatment of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS 
• Early diagnosis and treatment for breast and cervical cancer 
• Promotion, education and support for exclusive breast feeding 
• Prevention and appropriate treatment of sub-fertility and infertility 
• Active discouragement of harmful practices such as female genital cutting 
• Adolescent sexual and reproductive health 
• Prevention and management of gender-based violence

I   In subsequent posts, I'll be briefing you on each of this components and ways they can be of benefit to us. THANKS
