Teaching Learning Strategy N/A<br />

A. Sexuality<br />

• sexuality and reproductive health are interdependent<br />

• sexuality is a natural and healthy part of living<br />

• sexuality involves more than sex and sex involves more than sexual intercourse<br />

• sexual feelings and sexual behaviour are integral aspects of reproductive health<br />

B. Fertility<br />

Requirements for Male Fertility<br />

• normal sperm production, which includes a healthy ductal system, normal count,<br />

mobility, biological structure and functioning of sperm<br />

• transmit sperm to female vagina through:<br />

− an adequate sexual drive<br />

− the ability to maintain an erection<br />

− the ability to achieve a normal ejaculation<br />

− the placement of ejaculate in vagina<br />

Requirements for Female Fertility<br />

• adequate sexual drive and sexual function to permit coitus<br />

• functioning reproductive anatomy and physiology that include:<br />

− vagina capable of receiving sperm<br />

− normal cervical mucus to allow passage of sperm to the upper genital tract<br />

− ovulatory cycles<br />

− fallopian tubes that will function to permit the sperm and ovum to meet and allow<br />

migration of the product of conception to the uterus<br />

− uterus capable of developing and sustaining the product of conception to maturity<br />

− adequate hormonal status to maintain pregnancy<br />

− normal immunological responses to accommodate sperm, product of<br />

conception (fertilized ovum) and fetal survival<br />

− adequate nutritional, chemical and health status to maintain nutrition and<br />

oxygenation of placenta and fetus<br />

C. Infertility<br />

The most common causes of infertility include:<br />

• the woman not ovulating<br />

• the man not producing a sufficient amount of healthy sperm<br />

• some barrier to the transport of sperm or ovum through the womanÕs fallopian tube<br />

(e.g., scar tissue in the fallopian tubes)<br />
