Female Reproductive Health

Meaning

Female Reproductive Health encompasses the comprehensive physical, mental, and social well-being associated with the reproductive system and its functions throughout a woman’s life cycle, extending beyond the mere absence of disease. This state of health is intrinsically linked to the delicate and cyclical balance of key sex hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, which govern menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall endocrine stability. Clinical evaluation considers the complex interplay between the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, metabolic function, and psychological well-being. Optimal reproductive health is a critical component of longevity and quality of life.
