What does SRH mean in HEALTHCARE

Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) refers to the physical, mental and social wellbeing related to human sexuality. It includes topics such as contraception, STIs, pregnancy and infertility.

In order to protect yourself from STIs you should always practice safe sex by using condoms or other forms of barrier protection during sexual activity. Additionally, getting tested regularly can help ensure that any infections are detected early on so they can be treated appropriately.

There are many types of contraception available including condoms, diaphragms, contraceptive injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs), contraceptive implants and oral contraceptives such as birth control pills or patch. Your doctor can help you choose which form is most suitable for you.

The frequency in which you should get tested for STIs depends on your individual situation; however it is recommended that sexually active individuals should get tested at least once per year or with every new partner. If you are pregnant or have any symptoms that may be indicative of an infection then it is also advisable to get tested right away.

Yes, emergency contraception (also known as “the morning after pill”) is available over-the-counter without a prescription in some countries and with a prescription in others. Emergency contraception can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse but it is most effective if taken within 24 hours of the occurrence.
