description | BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Approximately half of Iranian marring couples have poor sexual knowledge and attitudes. This article delves into the main concerns and queries regarding sexual and reproductive health among Iranian newly married couples. METHODS: We conducted a content analysis of the sexual and reproductive health questions and concerns that were anonymously submitted by newly married couples to the researcher via social media in 2021–2022. RESULTS: A total of 141 questions and concerns that were related to sexual and reproductive health were considered for content analysis. Findings illustrated two main categories: (1) the need to create a reproductive life plan, and (2) the need for sexual knowledge and counseling. The first category consisted of three subcategories: “Poor contraceptive knowledge,” “Need for support in case of a missed period or unplanned pregnancy,” and “Need for preconception care.” The second category included three subcategories: “Concern regarding virginity,” “Sexual problems on the honeymoon,” and “Sexual problems in newlyweds.” CONCLUSION: Iranian newly married couples need long‐term specialized services addressing their reproductive life planning and sexual knowledge needs. Integrating reproductive life planning and comprehensive sex education into the primary care services for newly married couples can help to reduce delayed childbearing, unintended pregnancy, unsafe and illegal abortion, and subsequent infertility. |
