Social aspects of prevention of male and female infertility
Aim. To evaluate the degree of awareness of the managable social risk factors for prevention of male and female infertility and to suggest preventive measures.
Methods. We conducted a survey among 140 medical students and 140 students of other higher educational institutions. The majority of students in both groups who participated in the survey were aged 21 to 23 years (>60%). There were 20 questions in the questionnaire. They were of the following type: “Do you know that ... can lead to infertility?” Instead of the dots there were certain risk factors. Students answered the question “yes” or “no”.
Results. According to the results of the survey, medical students are much better aware of risk factors of infertility and its prevention. Most of the medical students and students of other institutions (72 and 73% respectively) plan to be parents already at the age of 23 to 28 which is in the upcoming decade so they have to think about infertility prevention now.
Conclusion. Awareness of infertility risk factors especially among non-medical students is quite low so spreading the information about prevention of the diseases leading to infertility among youth is necessary.
