Traditionally, family planning and reproductive health services have focused almost exclusively on women. Yet the health and attitudes of men often play a critical role in the health of women since men often hold decision-making power over matters as basic as sexual relations and when and whether to have a child or even seek health care. This section of Engender Health reviews the importance of men's reproductive health and explores the role of men in women's health."
