ABSTRACT

In developing countries, reproductive health problems account for about a third of the total disease burden in women

between 15 and 44 years old and continue to be a major problem as women age. This situation occurs first of all

because it is women who bear children. In addition, women are more susceptible than men to sexually transmitted

diseases, they are more likely to suffer longterm consequences of reproductive tract infections, and they may transmit

disease to their unborn children. This situation is exacerbated by the worldwide increase in incidence of sexually

transmitted diseases and HIV infection and by the fact that women often lack access to the means to prevent

pregnancy or to protect themselves against infection. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 4509-06)
