Menstrual Health: Breaking the Taboo
In many underdeveloped countries, menstrual health and hygiene are often undervalued and considered a taboo subject, especially when discussing it with teenagers. Ironically, teenagers need this information and guidance the most to maintain healthy bodies.
A lack of proper menstrual hygiene can lead to a wide range of health issues and psychological complications, including reproductive and urinary tract infections. It can also cause disturbing body odor, which can negatively affect a person’s self-esteem.
