Abstract

Only 36 percent of adolescent girls surveyed for this study were informed about menstruation prior to menarche. Among the study’s recommendations : All mothers irrespective of their educational status should be taught to break their inhibitions about discussing menstruation with their daughters before the age of menarche; education regarding reproductive health and hygiene should be included as a part of the school curriculum; and hygienic practices can be improved if sanitary pads are made available at affordable prices.
