Myth: "Drugs Have No Effects on Male Reproductive Health" 🧐

Fact: The widely held belief that substance use is irrelevant to male reproductive health is a significant and dangerous misconception. In reality, a male's overall systemic health is intricately linked to reproductive capacity, and this vital equilibrium is altered by the introduction of various substances. Harmful lifestyle choices, including the habitual consumption of alcohol, regular to***co smoking, the non-medical use of anabolic steroids, and the utilization of recreational drugs, place individuals at risk for compromising their reproductive wellness.

Contrary to the popular myth, the medical consensus is that these substances inflict specific and measurable damage. They are directly associated with reduced fertility indicators, most notably a significant decline in s***m quality, including impaired morphology and motility, which directly affects the capacity for conception.

FAQ: "What is Testicular Cancer?" 🤔

Answer: Testicular Cancer is a highly treatable disease that develops in the testicles (te**es), which are part of the male reproductive system. Simply put, it's when abnormal cells grow in one or both testicles, forming a lump or causing swelling. It is one of the most common cancers in young men (typically aged 15-45), but when caught early, often through simple self-checks, the cure rate is extremely high, frequently over 95%. The key message is to Know Thy Nuts and see a doctor right away if you notice any changes, such as a painless lump or change in size.

PRESS RELEASE

Marie Stopes Papua New Guinea Commends the Marape-Rosso Government for Prioritizing Universal Access to Voluntary Family Planning in the 20- Year Roadmap

Port Moresby, 31 October 2025 —Marie Stopes Papua New Guinea (MSPNG), the largest and leading provider of sexual and reproductive health and family planning services commends the Marape-Rosso Government for its strong commitment to universal access to voluntary family planning, in the recently launched RESET@50 20-Year Roadmap.

The inclusion of Principle 2: Advancing Human Development and the Family, Big Bet #3: Enable Universal Access to Voluntary Family Planning marks a transformative step in addressing PNG’s challenges on health, education, employment, and social stability.

Under this initiative, the Government has pledged to deliver a fully funded National
Voluntary Family Planning Program to ensure free and consistent access to contraception across all health facilities. The program will strengthen partnerships with churches and civil society organizations for outreach and service delivery and expand the training of midwives and health workers to improve coverage in rural and underserved areas.

Access to family planning is not just a health priority but a cornerstone of sustainable development. Family planning empowers individuals and families to make informed choices about the number and spacing of their children, leading to healthier communities, improved educational outcomes, and greater economic participation, especially for women and girls.

Marie Stopes PNG recognizes that investing in family planning is one of the most effective pathways to social and economic progress. Enabling women and families to plan their futures enhances financial stability, reduces maternal and child mortality, and allows for greater national investment in human capital.

As a long-standing partner in sexual and reproductive health and family planning since 2006, Marie Stopes PNG welcomes the Government’s commitment to collaborate with churches, community groups, and civil society to extend access, reduce stigma, and deliver culturally appropriate family planning services nationwide.

In 2024 alone, 70,633 people across PNG used a family planning method provided through MSPNG’s service delivery channels, helping avert an estimated 21,588 unintended pregnancies and 26 maternal deaths, while saving the Government PGK 3.34 million in direct healthcare costs.

Marie Stopes PNG Country Director Ms. Angelyn Famudi said,“By prioritizing universal access to voluntary family planning, the Marape Government has recognized that population and development are deeply connected. Investing in family planning means investing in the country’s future prosperity and stability.”

Marie Stopes PNG applauds the Government’s leadership in making family planning a national development priority under the RESET@50 agenda and calls on all partners, across government, faith, civil society, and the private sector, to unite in realizing this vision for a healthier and more prosperous PNG.

🔔 Myth-Busting of the Week 📣

Myth: "Missing your period means you're pregnant" 🧐

Fact: A missed period can indeed be a sign of pregnancy, but it’s not the only explanation. Your menstrual cycle is sensitive and can be affected by many factors. Stress, significant changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, or certain underlying medical conditions can all cause a delay or a missed period. If you are sexually active and concerned about a missed period, taking a pregnancy test is a good first step. For clarity and peace of mind, or if you experience consistently irregular cycles, consulting women’s health services for personalized advice is always a good idea.

FAQ: "What is Ovulation?" 🤔

Answer: Ovulation is a key phase in the female menstrual cycle where a mature egg (oocyte) is released from the o***y. This process is triggered by a surge in the Luteinizing Hormone (LH), typically occurring about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period. Once released, the egg is swept into the fallopian tube, where it remains viable for fertilization by s***m for about 12 to 24 hours. The period surrounding this event, known as the fertile window (approximately six days), is when the chances of conception are highest.
