Background
Menstrual health needs more recognition in the education sector.
It's important for young girls to recognise and understand how the menstrual cycle works.
Also to recognise and understand menstrual health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, pmmd.
Recognising symptoms of what is normal and what isn't. This can help with diagnosing these conditions and getting the medical attention that's needed.
