Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health are well-studied with accolades of literature on each topic; however, their interrelationships have been under-described. Mental Health problems can be result of concurrent or past Sexual and Reproductive Health ill event and vice versa. This article presents intersection between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health based on available literature. Intersections between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health and their impacts can be studied through life course perspective and needs prioritized attention in case of Gender Based Violence and for people living with disability. The article highlights the importance to explore other aspects such as emotions, gender and sexuality associated with Mental Health and to study and understand physiological and psychological context between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health. It also stresses the need of further research on intersection between Mental Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Humanitarian assistance, increasingly being used as a strategic tool, to fulfill the political objectives has been a widely discussed issue at national and international levels. Non-governmental Organizations including United Nations and its agencies are questioned on their neutrality while providing the humanitarian assistance in many places and more often during the complex humanitarian emergencies. This has not only raised questions on humanitarian principles but also created a very negative and counterproductive situation and thus limits an impartial, neutral and effective humanitarian action. The deontological approach might not be applicable in every scenario. One size does not fit all. So, consequentialist approach together with the morality of the action itself needs to be adopted for expanding the horizon of humanity without compromising the core humanitarian principles. All actors should respect the humanitarian principles. Humanitarian assistance is to be impartial and not driven by the politics of the conflict, aimed only at alleviating the people’s suffering. The core humanitarian imperatives founded on neutrality and independence are the key tools to secure access to all communities in need; impartiality and humanity represent the essence of humanitarian philosophy and cannot be compromised.

Despite being globally recognised as an important public health issue, mental health is still less prioritised as a disease burden in many Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). More than 70% of the global mental health burden occurs in these countries. We discussed mental health issues in LMICs under themes such as abuse and mental illness, cultural influence on mental health, need for dignity in care, meeting financial and workforce gaps and the need for national health policy for the mental health sector. We highlighted that although mental health education and health care services in most LMICs are poorly resourced; there is an urgent need to address issues beyond funding that contribute to poor mental health. In order to meet the increasing challenge of mental health illness in LMICs, there is a need for effort to address cultural and professional challenges that contribute to poor mental health among individuals. We have a notion that mental health should be integrated into primary health care in LMICs. Creating awareness on the impact of some cultural attitudes/practices will encourage better uptake of mental health services and increase the ease when discussing mental health issues in these countries which can contribute to reducing the poor mental health in LMICs.

Background: Radical hysterectomy is the main treatment for cervical cancer. But must of the patients suffered from postoperative bladder dysfunction, such as retention of urine. Objective: To evaluate the retention of urine after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer in the patients up to stages IA to IIB. Methodology: A cross sectional control study was conducted in the patients diagnosed with cervical cancer and treated with radical hysterectomy in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, first affiliated hospital, Zhengzhou University, P. R. of China to evaluate the postoperative retention of urine in 90 patients from 2003 to 2006. Result and Conclusion: A total of 90 patients with cervical cancer, who underwent radical hysterectomy were included in this study. 25 patients, i.e. 27.8% were menopausal and 11 patients, i.e. 12.2% had blood loss more than 500ml. The patients with retention of urine after radical hysterectomy was compared in relation with loss of blood volume intra- operatively, parity, and menopause; as the possible causes of retention of urine. The overall frequency of retention of urine among the patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for the cervical cancer was 42.2%. The statistical analysis showed that the relation of urine after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer with loss of blood volume, parity and menopause was found to be nonsignificant. So, retention of urine after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer might be related to the operative procedure which effects partial sympathetic and parasympathetic denervation during a radical dissection.
