Reproductive Health Status of Women in Tamil Nadu

ABOUT THE BOOK:- Currently, women in India face a multitude of health problems, which ultimately affect the aggregate economy's output. Reproductive health status of women has been largely neglected over a long period of time. The population control programmes hardly focused on reproductive health needs. The recent focus on reproductive health marks the need to reorient existing programmes. These new programmes are women based, respond to women's health needs and are sensitive to the socio-cultural constraints that women and adolescent girls face in acquiring services and expressing health needs. In these circumstances, an in depth analysis has been made in this book about the Reproductive Health Problems of Women before Marriage, during pregnancy, during delivery, immediately after delivery and within seven days and General Gynecological Problems and the Health Care Seeking Behavior of rural women and the linkages with their socio economic statuses . The contraceptive Practices and Reproductive losses of the rural women have also been examined.
