Menstruation is a time when women experience various discomforts. Lack of hygiene at this time can even lead to other health problems. Women need proper care and support during menstruation. Let’s take a look at some of the common challenges women and girls face about menstrual health and how to overcome them.

Lack of education and awareness

Women and girls lack proper education and awareness about menstruation. It is very important to create awareness of this issue which is not openly discussed even today. Age-wise awareness about menstruation needs to be created in homes and schools.

Inadequate sanitation facilities 

The lack of clean toilets in schools, workplaces, and public places makes menstruation difficult. It is very necessary to improve infrastructure related to sanitation.

Discomfort and pain during menstruation

Many people experience severe abdominal pain, headache, and vomiting during menstruation. Pain relievers and heat therapy are best in these situations. A clear awareness should be given to use these. It is also essential to know the importance of proper rest, proper exercise, healthy food, and water.

Social and cultural taboos

Many people still consider menstruation as unclean. In many places, menstruating women are prohibited from entering places of worship, participating in religious events, touching plants and pickles, and cooking in the kitchen. These practices still perpetuate the fact that menstruation is abnormal or ungodly and not a normal physiological process that a human being goes through every month.

Lack of workplace support  

Many workplaces lack policies and facilities to support employees during menstruation. Menstrual leave and sanitary pad facilities at workplaces are essential. At a time when anger and sadness are often present, the many pressures in the workplace can be overwhelming for many. For this, workplaces, precautions, and means have to be adopted.
