The year 2025: The perfect time to take care of your reproductive health  

Health is our most precious treasure, and in 2025 you have the chance to prioritize personal care. Reproductive health, an often neglected topic, plays a key role in overall well-being and the prevention of long-term medical problems.

For many young women, visiting the gynecologist can seem intimidating or unnecessary in the absence of symptoms. However, this is the key to a healthy life. A routine gynecological checkup not only identifies possible problems before they become serious, but also provides the opportunity to receive essential information about your body and how it works.

Reproductive health education is about more than protecting against sexually transmitted diseases. It’s about knowledge, prevention and trust. Even without visible symptoms, prevention is always more effective than treatment. A gynecologist can help you understand the changes your body is going through, identify possible imbalances and discuss the best methods of protection and intimate hygiene.

Myths about oral contraceptives:

A common myth about oral contraceptives is that all women who use them gain weight. In reality, weight changes are influenced by other factors such as diet, lifestyle, and genetic inheritance, and the pills themselves are not a direct cause.

Many young women also fear that the use of birth control pills could affect their fertility in the long term. This is not true because fertility returns to normal immediately or shortly after discontinuing contraceptives.

Another widespread myth is that the pills provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Although effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies, oral contraceptives do not protect against infections, so the use of condoms remains essential.

There is also the misperception that birth control pills increase the risk of cancer. In reality, studies show that they can reduce the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer, and their long-term use, under the supervision of a doctor, is considered safe.

These myths continue to create confusion, but the right information can help teenage girls make the right decisions.

This year, start with a simple but important gesture: make an appointment for a gynecological consultation. Not only will you learn more about your health, but you’ll be able to make sure you’re doing everything you can to protect your body.
