Abstract
WHO defines adolescence as the age between 10-19 years. In India it is 10-18 years of age which constitute about 1/5 th of the population- 200 million. 20% of the world’s population constitute adolescence among which 85% of them live in developing countries. Adolescent problems constitute a bulk of morbidity which is greatly unrecognised and uncared of- mainly because in countries like India its still a taboo to talk about reproductive health problems. A large variety of morbidity like- nutritional deficiency, menstrual disorders, RTI’s, HIV/AIDS are serious problems which complicate the existing problems like teenage pregnancy, unsafe abortions. Teenage pregnancies- 10-15% of the total pregnancies, and illegal abortion rate is alarmingly increasing.
