Menstruation can be a global health problem due to unequal access to menstrual hygiene management (MHM). This is sometimes called "period poverty" and affects at least 500 million people every month.
Menstrual hygiene should be taught to every girl so that she can have a smooth and healthy life during menstruation and otherwise. Proper menstrual hygiene education is vital for reducing health risks.
Menstrual education can have a positive impact on society in many ways.It is extremely important to permit women to effectively manage their menstrual cycles in a manner that is hygienic and safe.

"I loved this programme very much. It gives a very beneficial education to the girls. As it was the first session in our school, we have experienced a lot of things in it. The programme was about periods. The programme was not only good but also very beneficial for girls as well as ladies. The main head of this programme told about periods, what happens during it, and about hormonal imbalances which take place in girls. As many girls or ladies think that periods are like a curse for them. But it is the first step for being matured. He told some instructions about it — to avoid mainly fast food for a regular period date. If someone is not getting their periods regularly, they should do yoga asanas, eat healthy food, mainly fruits. Sir has also given us some tips to be followed during periods. Periods are not a curse but a gift given by God. I want to thank Sir for this programme, for coming to our school. "
"I truly liked the program. The information that is given to us is really beneficial. They showed us a video in which we played a game "Put your finger down". They told us how to take care, and reasons behind mood swings and cravings. They told us to not be ashamed of it — periods are natural. They told us about blood types and what to eat while we're on our periods. They told us about hygiene tips, and the side effects of pills and painkillers we take to reduce the pain of cramps. They told us about yoga to stay healthy on periods. They provide us a free course on "That Time of the Month". We register on that website, they told us to watch the videos and answer the quiz. At the last of the programme they provided us the sanitary pads to all women. "
"My opinion about the session conducted by Tiruba Social Welfare Foundation is excellent! The session provided me the information, the small things and details, which we were just unknown about. The session emphasized on women's personal health, hygiene, etc. It made us aware about sexuality, underage pregnancy of a girl, and a good intake diet for a girl's personal hormonal balance. The professor's words about how a girl's food intake nowadays is unhealthy and this causes periods before age — at the age of 9–12 years. When I heard this, I was shocked. So, the awareness about her hygiene and the things she should adopt before her period cycle starts is so important. The professor was very awesome — he spoke in front of many ladies and girl students about "That Time of the Month". And provided us many useful pieces of information through his own experience and through a short film. At the end of the programme, he also conducted a doubt session, in which we can ask topic-related queries. One more interesting part was that mother/parent will scan and fill the information for the questions. At last, the foundation provided the packets of pads for all girls."

Menstruation is the process in which the uterus sheds blood and tissue through the vagina. This is a natural and healthy process for girls and women of reproductive age.
Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle – a cycle of biological changes that take place in a woman or girl’s reproductive system to prepare her body for a potential pregnancy. The changes are triggered by hormones, which are natural chemicals in the body. This cycle begins when a girl reaches puberty and continues until she reaches the end of her fertility (also known as menopause, at which time menstrual cycles end).
The menstrual cycle is roughly 28 days long, but it can be shorter or longer. It begins with menstruation (considered day 1 of the cycle). Menstruation is the shedding of the lining of the uterus and the remnants of the unfertilized egg. It continues with an increase in the hormone estrogen, and the lining of the uterus becomes thick and spongy again (typically days 6-8). An egg is released from one of the ovaries, called “ovulation” (around day 14, but this can vary), then the egg moves through the fallopian tube towards the uterus (typically day 15-24). If the egg is not fertilized, it will not be implanted in the uterine wall but instead fall apart, and hormone levels such as estrogen and progesterone, will drop. This process is followed by the start of a new cycle.
Menstruation is often different from person to person, and even one person can experience very different periods over their lifetime. This is often healthy and normal. But when menstruation prevents people from engaging in regular activities, medical attention is required. Unfortunately, lack of attention to, and education about, menstruation means that many women and girls suffer for years without receiving care.
Most people who menstruate experience some physical or emotional discomfort known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) about a week before or during the first few days of their menstrual periods. PMS manifests differently in different people and may vary between menstruation cycles. The most common symptoms during PMS include changes in appetite, backaches, acne, bloating, headaches, depression, feelings of sadness, tension or anxiety, irritability, sweating, tender breasts, water retention, constipation or diarrhea, trouble concentrating, insomnia and tiredness. For some, these symptoms can be so severe that they miss work or school, while others are not bothered.
Menstrual irregularities can result from a myriad of factors. Hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, certain medical conditions (such as polycystic ovary syndrome or thyroid disorders), and fluctuations in weight can all contribute to irregular menstrual cycles.
Period cramps, scientifically known as dysmenorrhea, can be alleviated through various methods. Applying heat to the lower abdomen, engaging in regular physical activity, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing can help manage cramps. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and sufficient hydration, may contribute to overall menstrual well-being.
Menstruation stops during pregnancy due to the physiological changes in the body and resumes after childbirth. However, it permanently ceases during menopause, which typically occurs in a woman’s late 40s or early 50s. However, it’s essential to note that women’s experiences may differ.
