Accorded to a 1:1 random number table method, 120 cases women were divided into the study group of 60 cases and the traditional group of 60 cases. The traditional group were received routine intervention measures, while the study group received reproductive health education intervention on the basis of the traditional group. The observation period for the two groups were 6 months, recorded and compared the reproductive health cognitive scores, proportion of healthy behaviors, satisfaction, and quality of life scores between the two groups.

After 6 months of intervention, the proportion of regular cleaning of the vagina and vulva, attention to menstrual hygiene, reasonable handling of abnormal vaginal discharge, and healthy sexual behavior in the study group were 98.33%, 95.00%, 95.00%, and 98.33%, which were significantly higher than the traditional group's 75.00%, 73.33%, 70.00%, and 68.33% (P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the satisfaction rate with intervention in the study group were 100.00%, compared to 88.33% in the traditional group.
