APPLICATION AND ASSESSMENT
In females:
• Tumors of the breast and cervix are the most common reproductive
cancers in adult females.
• Vaginal infections are more common in young and elderly women
and in those whose resistance to diseases is low.
In males:
• Prostate cancer (a common sequel to prostatic hypertrophy) is a
widespread problem in adult males.
• Although aging men show a steady decline in testosterone
secretion, their reproductive capability seems unending.
-Erogenous Zones refer to parts of the body that are primarily
receptive and increase sexual arousal when touched in a sexual
manner

persons, or in a group—that induces sexual arousal.
