Sexual And Reproductive Health Awareness Day 2024: There’s a lot that people do not know about their sexual health. The sexual health of an individual affects the overall well-being and health of that person. Every year, Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Day is observed worldwide on February 12 to raise awareness about reproductive health and educate people about sexual wellness to reduce sexually transmitted diseases.

In a conversation with Jagran English, Dr Garima Sawhney, Senior Gynaecologist and Co-founder, Pristyn Care explained myths and misconceptions about women’s sexual health and the need for awareness of sexual health.

According to Dr Sawhney, open dialogue about sexual needs is paramount for individuals and their partners. Effective communication fosters understanding, trust, and intimacy in relationships, while also addressing concerns and promoting sexual health. It allows individuals to express desires, boundaries, and preferences, leading to enhanced satisfaction and emotional connection.

Encouraging open discussions about sexual needs can break down barriers, reduce stigma, and empower individuals to prioritise their sexual well-being.

Understanding each other's needs allows partners to focus on activities that bring the most pleasure. This can lead to increased sexual satisfaction and a stronger bond between partners. Honest communication about sexual desires fosters trust and vulnerability within the relationship.

When partners feel comfortable expressing their desires without fear of judgment, it strengthens the emotional bond between them. In long-term relationships, sexual desire and satisfaction may fluctuate over time. Open communication enables couples to adapt to these changes and find new ways to maintain a satisfying s*x life as their relationship evolves.

Discussing sexual health concerns, such as contraception, STI prevention, or sexual dysfunction, is crucial for maintaining physical and emotional well-being. Open communication allows partners to address these issues promptly and seek appropriate support or treatment if needed.
