Prolonging life but lacking quality of life is a bad check, and a healthy life expectancy is far more important than the length of life. Human life will be happier in the 2 1 century, and building a healthy and harmonious society is our best gift to future generations. For a healthy and harmonious society, the first task is to increase investment in people, that is, to increase investment in education, science and technology and people's health. Health investment is the foundation and motive force of social sustainable development, and within the scope of health, reproductive health is undoubtedly the most basic core, because reproductive health is related to everyone, and reproductive health is directly related to the future of the country and society.
According to the definition of reproductive health by the World Health Organization (WHO), reproductive health means that people can live a safe and satisfactory sexual life, have healthy and sound reproductive functions, and have the right to decide whether to give birth, when to give birth and the length of birth interval. According to this definition, male reproductive health means: men can fully enjoy sexual and reproductive health and assume responsibilities for their spouses and families; Men can control and regulate their fertility, support their spouses to take birth control measures and avoid unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion; Men fully respect women's dignity and rights in sex and reproduction; Men can't put all the blame for infertility on women; Men have a healthy and happy old age.
In contrast to this requirement, the global reproductive health situation is worrying, and the male reproductive health situation in the Asia-Pacific region is even more shocking. The responsibility of our male scientists is to care for and help men and provide them with high-quality reproductive health services, including timely diagnosis and treatment of male birth control, safe sex, male infertility, male sexual dysfunction and other male diseases, as well as control the spread of reproductive infections, sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, so that every elderly person can live a healthy and happy old age.
Based on this understanding, the field and mission of andrology must also be expanded accordingly. Traditional andrology is limited to the treatment of male infertility and impotence; Today's andrology must expand its vision to all areas of male reproductive health. In today's world, this expansion is particularly important, because the world population is still exploding, and reproductive tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS are spreading rapidly in today's world; There are still many unknown fields to be explored in male infertility, sexual dysfunction and many male diseases in the world today. Paying attention to the quality of life of elderly men in the world today has become the common goal of all countries.
