Reproductive and sexual health are integral parts of individual and public health. Research in reproductive and sexual medicine provides deeper insights into fertility, reproductive problems, sexual health, reproductive rights, outcomes of pregnancy and reproduction, and many other aspects of sexual well-being.

The journal welcomes research articles on various contemporary issues in reproductive and sexual medicine.

Key Research Areas:

Emerging Areas of Research

IIJRSM welcomes innovative and multidisciplinary research addressing emerging and rapidly evolving areas in reproductive and sexual medicine, including but not limited to:

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation in Reproductive and Sexual Medicine

Research involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models, AI-assisted diagnosis, clinical decision-making, personalized treatment, reproductive technologies, digital therapeutics, and the ethical, legal, and privacy implications of AI in healthcare.

Fertility Preservation and Reproductive Planning

Research on fertility preservation in males and females, oncofertility, gamete and gonadal tissue preservation, reproductive planning, fertility restoration, and emerging assisted reproductive technologies.

Digital Sexual and Reproductive Health

Studies involving telemedicine, tele-sexology, mobile health (mHealth), digital therapeutics, wearable devices, remote monitoring, digital patient education, and technology-enabled sexual and reproductive healthcare.

Reproductive Genetics and Genomics

Research addressing genetic and genomic determinants of fertility, infertility, reproductive disorders, genetic counselling, reproductive decision-making, pharmacogenomics, epigenetics, and precision reproductive medicine.

Precision and Personalized Sexual Medicine

Research integrating clinical, hormonal, metabolic, genetic, vascular, neurological, and psychosocial factors to develop individualized approaches to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of sexual and reproductive disorders.

Regenerative Medicine and Advanced Therapeutics

Cutting-edge research involving stem cells, tissue engineering, regenerative therapies, biologics, platelet-based therapies, novel drug-delivery systems, and other emerging approaches for restoration of sexual and reproductive function.

Biomarkers and Molecular Sexual Medicine

Research on novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, endothelial and vascular biology, inflammation, oxidative stress, neurobiology, molecular mechanisms, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics-based approaches.

Microbiome, Infection and Sexual Health

Research exploring the reproductive and genital microbiome, host–microbiome interactions, sexually transmitted infections, antimicrobial resistance, inflammation, and their effects on sexual and reproductive health.

Novel Diagnostics and Medical Devices

Research involving objective assessment of sexual and reproductive function, advanced imaging, physiological measurements, neurophysiological techniques, digital biomarkers, implantable devices, penile prostheses, and other innovative medical technologies.

Sexual Health, Chronic Disease and Healthy Aging

Research examining sexual and reproductive health in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, metabolic disorders, neurological diseases, cancer, endocrine disorders, chronic illnesses, and aging populations.

Sexual Health Equity and Patient-Centered Care

Research addressing disparities in access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, culturally sensitive care, underserved populations, health literacy, patient preferences, shared decision-making, and equitable healthcare delivery.

Emerging Psychosexual and Relationship Medicine

Research involving psychosexual health, sexual wellbeing, relationship factors, couple-based interventions, sexual communication, psychological determinants of sexual function, and integrated biopsychosocial approaches.

IIJRSM particularly encourages translational, interdisciplinary, innovative, and hypothesis-driven research that has the potential to advance scientific understanding, improve clinical practice, and enhance the quality of life of individuals and couples.

Our Vision

The vision of the journal is to become a prestigious scholarly journal to further research, knowledge and practice in the field of reproductive and sexual medicine.

The vision of our journal is to help promote the research community dedicated to Scientific Excellence, Clinical Innovation, Research Integrity, Health Equity, and Evidence-Based Practice.
