Abstract: (13 Views)
| Introduction: Abortion, whether spontaneous or induced, is one of the important and complex challenges to women's health in Iran. This policy brief is based on documented data and aims to provide an integrated model of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Materials and Methods: This policy brief synthesizes findings from four key studies, including an assessment of the magnitude of abortion in Iran, an analysis of its association with the risk of breast cancer, and an approach by Iranian traditional medicine to recurrent abortion, to outline a framework for integrated and context-specific policy actions focused on improving the health of Iranian women. Results: The combined evidence indicates that in Iran, abortion is not merely a medical matter but a complex phenomenon accompanied by physical, psychological, social, and cultural consequences that manifest as long-lasting effects. There is a need, therefore, for effective policymaking based on a holistic approach that integrates strengthening reproductive health education and targeted cancer screening programs and harmonizes lessons from Iranian traditional medicine with modern practice. Conclusion: With the implementation of the proposed five strategic pillars, which integrate preventive education, medical screening, innovative traditional medicine interventions, and data infrastructure, it is possible not only to address the rate of abortion but also to enhance the physical and mental well-being and quality of life of Iranian women and their families, and therefore address the issue of abortion in an effective and holistic manner. |
