Abstract
Pravo svake osobe na svijetu je da bude zdrava, a obveza da brine o svom zdravlju. Naime, ljudska bića biološki sazrijevaju sve ranije, dok se ekonomski osamostaljuju sve kasnije. Adolescenti su osobe mlađe životne dobi od 11. pa sve do 22. godine. U tom svom odrastanju i formiranju oni prolaze kroz jako buran period ranjivosti, osjetljivosti, agresije, znatiželje i sličnog te upravo na tom putu do svoje zrelosti često ostaju zakinuti za bitne informacije o vlastitoj spolnosti, tijelu, zdravstvenim rizicima i zaštiti za svoje reproduktivno zdravlje. Obzirom na širok dijapazon informacija o seksualnosti za očekivati je da mladi ljudi imaju predznanje o reprodukciji i reproduktivnom zdravlju. Međutim, u prilog tome ne ide sve veći porast broja neželjenih trudnoća i spolno prenosivih bolesti među adolescentima, što govori o nedostatku znanja. Zaštita zdravlja odnosi se na prevenciju bolesti, rano otkrivanje oboljelih i liječenje. U posljednjih nekoliko godina opaža se povećanje broja virusnih u odnosu na bakterijske spolno prenosive infekcije.
Temeljne aktivnosti u cilju zaštite reproduktivnog zdravlja mladih su kontinuirani, znanstveno utemeljeni zdravstveni odgoj, savjetodavni rad, te redovni preventivni i ginekološki pregledi.
U ovom preglednom završnom radu objasnit će se proces odrastanja i spolnog sazrijevanja adolescenata te najvažnije spolne bolesti, kao i ostali problemi vezani uz spolne bolesti s kojima se adolescenti susreću.Everybody's right is to be healthy and duty is to mantain health. Human beings are developing earlier in biological sense, while not being able to follow it economically. Adolescent is a person between the ages 11 and 22. During the period of growing up and forming personality, they are going trough a period of vulnerability, sensitivity, aggression, curiosity etc. and on that path they often lack knoweledge on important information such as one's own sexuality, body, health risks and the knowledge of how to protect their own health. Regarding a wide variety of sexual topics, it is safe to conclude that adolescents do have the pre-knowledge of reproduction and reproductive heatlh. However, the contradictory fact is that there is an increse of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Protecting one's health is all about prevention, early diagnosis and the cure. Over the last few years there has been an increase in the number of viruses in relation to bacterial and sexually transmitted infections. Main activities with purpose to protect reproductive health are continuous, scientifically-based health education, counseling, and regular preventive and gynecological examinations. This final paper will explain the process of growing up, sexual maturation, the most commune sexually transmitted diseases, and all other problems caused by sexually transmitted diseases that affect adolescents
