Reproductive health
Reproductive health refers to a healthy reproductive life with healthy reproductive organs, their normal functioning, and ensuring emotional, social, and physical well-being.

Steps to attain reproductive health
The primary steps taken to attain reproductive health are as follows:
1) Introducing hygienic and safe sexual practices
2) Creating awareness and counseling people about adolescence, reproductive organs, and changes associated with adolescence.
3) Spreading awareness about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as AIDS, Hepatitis-B, etc which are not completely curable, and ways to prevent them.

MTP
MTP ( medical termination of pregnancy) programme helps in legal and intentional termination of pregnancy before full term. It can be practiced only by registered medical practitioners to prevent illegal female foeticide.

Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a technique to find out the disorders and sex of the foetus based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. This technique has been misused for killing the normal female foetus. So it is legally banned to determine the sex of a foetus.
