Advances, Innovation and Trends in Care and Attention to Sexual and Reproductive Health

Dear Colleagues,

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) covers a wide range of aspects as diverse as sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, pelvic floor problems, or sexual dysfunctions, among others. The assistance and care required for SRH are constantly evolving and updating treatments: advances in assisted reproductive techniques, and vaccines. Even the type of care to be provided has changed to adapt it to new trends and discoveries. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned about the increase in the inadequate treatment provided in childbirth care in health centers (WHO, 2014), likewise, the humanization of perinatal care is one of the major challenges on which recent research is focusing. The LGTBIQ+ group and their specific needs in terms of SRH cannot be ignored. In addition, the fundamental role that sexuality plays in the level of well-being of people and their quality of life is one of the least studied and researched aspects. Hence, the importance is minimized in the attention and care given to it, making it necessary to carry out studies and disseminate them.

The WHO and other scientific societies are promoting research in SRH to address the needs that exist as well as those emerging.
