Students’ knowledge of determinants of fertility and assisted reproductive techniques
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Having children and experiencing motherhood and fatherhood are basic desires of most people. However, there are factors, i.e. common anti-health behaviours and occupational hazards, which reduce male and female fertility. Fertility disorders are a result of many factors, which are not usually realised by young people of reproductive age. Chemical, biological, and physical determinants as well as occupational and lifestyle factors can impair fertility. The concentration or intensity of these determinants is remarkably important [1,2,3,4,5]. Dissemination of the knowledge of the harmful impact of the factors on fertility can contribute to greater awareness and improvement of pro-health behaviours among the population of young people of reproductive age [2,5].
