Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To review the relationship between personal behavior and cultural factors and reproductive tract infections (RTIs). METHODS:An English-language literature search using MEDLINE (1994-1998), Social Science Index (1994-1998), and informal discovery. Any original researches and reviews related to RTIs' epidemiology, behavior and culture were selected. RESULTS:RTIs have become a silent epidemic that is devastating women's lives each year. CONCLUSION:The influencing factors include sexual behavior, health related behavior (preventive health behavior, health-seeking behavior, reproductive behavior etc.) and culture, belief, etc. A holistic point of view should be taken.
