REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ISSUES AMONG ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG MALE POPULATIONS. PART II
Introduction: The reproductive health of adolescents and young men is a crucial component of overall health and well-being. Despite increasing attention to this issue, there remains a lack of information and awareness in society regarding male reproductive health, which leads to the neglect of important aspects of prevention and treatment. In particular, young men are exposed to numerous risk factors, including behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental ones, which can negatively affect their future reproductive potential. The timely identification and elimination of these factors are essential for preserving the health of future generations.
Objective: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the key risk factors affecting the reproductive health of adolescents and young men.
Search Strategy: After systematizing keywords and their synonyms, a comprehensive bibliographic search was carried out. Data was collected from leading international (PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase) and Russian-language (Cyberleninka, eLibrary) scientific databases, focusing on publications from the last ten years. The source selection process included an analysis of abstracts for relevance and an assessment based on citation frequency. Only full-text works were subjected to an in-depth analytical review. The main inclusion criteria were: relevance to the research topic, publication language (English or Russian), full text availability, and a variety of study types. The final selection included original and review articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical guidelines, scientific monographs, and collections of abstracts, which ensured a comprehensive coverage of the research problem.
Results and Conclusion: Age is a key factor in the deterioration of reproductive health: men over 45 show a statistically significant decline in sperm quality. Sociocultural aspects, such as distorted family and religious norms, as well as media influence, can contribute to an early onset of sexual activity and neglect of contraception methods, increasing the risk of STIs. Behavioral factors, including smoking, alcohol abuse, and overweight, have a direct negative impact on spermatogenesis and erectile function. To preserve men's reproductive health, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive preventive measures aimed at increasing awareness of the risks associated with lifestyle and behavior, as well as removing sociocultural barriers to open discussion of sexual health. Special attention should be paid to programs for adolescents and young men to foster a responsible attitude towards their own health. Early diagnosis and timely treatment of congenital and acquired diseases of the reproductive system are also critically important for preventing infertility.
