MENSTRUATION AND MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS AMONG SOUTH INDIAN RURAL AND URBAN ADOLESCENT GIRLS

Dr. P. Kumari

Abstract :

 Menarche is the key mile stone in the reproductive history of adolescent girls. The menstrual patterns and associated problems represent the reproductive health among adolescent girls which need to be explored extensively. However, such studies are not widely studied in our country. Based on this background, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the menstrual history and the common menstrual problems faced by the adolescent girls residing in Tirupati town and nearby villages. The total sample size included in the study was 79 members involving rural (n=32) and urban (n=47) adolescent girls. The findings well illustrated that majority of adolescent girls both from rural and urban had normal healthy menstruation. However, the abnormal conditions and the accompanying menstrual problems prevailing among them should not be ignored indicating an utmost need for appropriate suitable reproductive health education.
