WAYS TO IMPROVE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND GYNECOLOGICAL LITERACY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE

This article examines the issue of reproductive health and the level of gynecological literacy among young people. Despite the reforms adopted at the state level, it was found that young people's knowledge in this area is insufficient for the necessities of life. The research was conducted on the basis of a literature review and an anonymous survey involving 20 respondents. The results showed that more than half of the respondents had never undergone a preventive gynecological examination, and that they had obtained their knowledge mainly from their families. At the end of the article, practical recommendations for improving literacy are presented.
