A LITERATURE REVIEW ON MENSTRUATION AND MENTAL HEALTH

This review aims to understand and break misconceptions about menstruation. It is a normal biological process and a healthy part of a women’s life. The menstrual cycle of a women’s life starts from the onset of menarche (average 13 years) through to menopause (average around 50 years). A woman menstruates for about 7 years during their life. In this period women face many problems. Menstruation is not only confined to the physical pain and symptoms but it affects the mental health of female adolescents. Several surveys have been conducted in the area. A lack of information about menstruation leads to damaging misconceptions and discrimination. Many girls do not have complete and accurate information about menstruation. By providing proper counseling sessions and workshop programs girls can be educated about menstruation. There is a need to build their confidence and encourage healthy habits and to break down taboos.
