Reproductive ill health accounts for 33% of the  total burden of disease in women, whereas it is 12.3% for men.Although there are several hospitals based studies concerning maternal health,the number of community based studies is limited. Many women who suffered from reproductive organ disorders had not sought appropriate care and women’shealth seeking behavior is been influenced by many factors.In India,women with self–reported symptoms of reproductive morbidity do not seek treatment due to existing taboos regarding sexual and reproductive health . They hesitate to discuss their reproductive health problems especially,due to shame and embarrassment.

The aim of this study was to review the literature on knowledge about reproductive morbidity among women.
