MY NAME IS VAISHNAVI TRIPATHI, AM STUDENT OF CLASS VI-C, DPS INDRAPURAM GHAZIABAD, U.P., INDIA.

Menestral period is that when the body gets miturad from inside and when ovary get miturad. The majour worry for most of the girls of 11 to 18 years of age is the periodic monthly bleeding from their vagina. This is called menustruation, commonly known as months /periods/cycle/dates/menses,etc. This is accompanied with the feeling of fear, tension and apprehension in them.

SYMPTOMS OF PERIODS/ MENSTURATION CYCLE:

  1. Skin gets oiller

  4. Growth of Hair in underarms and pubic area
  5. Stomach Ache
  6. Itching and Irritation in Vagina

PARAMETERS FOR MAINTAINING HYGIENE DURING MENSTURATION CYCLE:

  1. Cleaning of Vagina everyday with water
  2. Keeping extra pads in the school bag or locker of school provided to you
