| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The resource guide explores many topics related to family planning and reproductive health. Family planning services are defined as educational, comprehensive medical or social activities, which enable individuals, including minors, to determine freely the number and spacing of their children and to select the means by which this may be achieved. Reproductive health, or sexual health/hygiene, addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life. Implicit in this are the right of men and women to be informed of and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of birth control 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. The book examines the following topics: reproductive rights, contraceptive security, genital integrity, sex education, pre-conception counseling, genetic counseling, reproductive life plan, childfree, parenting, childbirth, adoption, foster care, birth control, safe sex, men's and women's health, vulvovaginal, maternal health, obstetrics, prenatal care, pregnant patients' rights, unintended pregnancy, pregnancy options counseling, abortion, teenage pregnancy, andrology, gynecology, obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, genitourinary medicine, sexual dysfunction, infertility, assisted reproductive technology, reproductive system disease, sexually transmitted disease, and more.
