Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well–being and not merely the absence of reproductive disease or infirmity. Reproductive health deals with the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life (World Health Organisation) and UN–POPIN). But, there are so many social, cultural, religious and individual factors which affect the health status women, especially adolescents and unmarried youth in developing countries including India. There are so many taboos in talking about reproductive health issues of women as a result the awareness and knowledge about reproductive health is very limited. Patriarchal norms and gender disparities also significantly affect women’s reproductive health and care seeking behaviour. Various community based studies in India shows the prevalence of reproductive morbidity among women ranges between 39–84 3,4. A community based study from rural Tamil Nadu found that prevalence of reproductive morbidity among adolescent girls was 82% 1. A recent study from Maharashtra reported that 65.18% of girls were having one or more reproductive morbidity. The same study found a high prevalence of dysmenorrhoea (53.60%) among adolescent girls 5. Another research from Goa indicated that the prevalence of reproductive morbidity is positively correlated with educational level and household economic status 6. Many studies in India reported that private health facilities are predominantly used for reproductive health care services 2.
