Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the frequency of sexually transmitted infections among girls and boys in the Republic of Serbia, as well as the large number of induced abortions, resulting in numerous complications. Sexually transmitted infections can be transmitted from mother to child before, during or after childbirth. Pregnant women with sexually transmitted diseases have a higher risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Serbian health statistics indicate that a considerable proportion of the population suffer from diseases that could have been prevented. A broad concept of reproductive health promotion is a very important prevention measure, which should also influence the thoughts of young people about marriage, family, the best period of life for childbirth from a biological perspective and the relationship between women and men. We are witnessing an increase in the number of women postponing childbirth to a late reproductive period due to social reasons, with the misconception that assisted reproductive technology practices can compensate for the decline in fertility in later life. The demographic characteristics of the Republic of Serbia are characterized by unsettling data on population decline and population aging. In the Republic of Serbia, the importance of reproductive and sexual health has been recognized through numerous legal documents.
