Ayela is a 13 year old girl who started missing school every month because of her period. Without access to sanitary pads, she used old cloths and sometimes stayed with them for an entire day.

Soon, Ayela began experiencing itching, rashes, and infections from poor menstrual hygiene. She constantly worried about stains and bad odour in school. Her classmates laughed at her one day after noticing a stain on her uniform.

Ashamed and embarrassed, Ayela withdrew from her friends, avoided class activities, and her academic performance began to drop.

Poor menstrual hygiene affected Ayela’s health, confidence, education, and dignity. Sadly, many girls across underserved communities face the same reality every month.

When should irregular periods be checked?

Seek medical advice if:
• periods stop for several months
• cycles are extremely unpredictable for a long time
• bleeding is unusually heavy or very painful

Understanding your cycle is part of menstrual health awareness.

Several factors can affect menstrual regularity:
• Stress
• Poor nutrition
• Hormonal changes
• Intense physical activity
• Illness or underlying health conditions

The body responds to many internal and external changes.

10/05/2026

Not all menstrual cycles come on the same day every month.

A menstrual cycle is considered normal even when it varies between 21 to 35 days.

In teenagers especially, irregular cycles are common in the first few years after menstruation begins.

Severe pain is not something to ignore.

Seek medical support if:
• pain stops normal activities
• bleeding is extremely heavy
• periods are very irregular
• dizziness or fainting occurs

Listening to the body is part of menstrual health.

Pain during menstruation varies from person to person.

For many, it is mild and manageable. For others, it can interfere with daily activities.

Simple relief methods include:
• resting
• warm compress on the abdomen
• drinking enough water
• light movement or stretching

Menstrual pain is common, but it should not be ignored.

Mild cramps during periods happen because the uterus contracts to shed its lining. This can feel like lower abdominal or back pain.

Common signs include:
• cramping in the lower stomach
• lower back pain
• tiredness
• mild headaches

Safe disposal is part of menstrual hygiene.

Used pads should be:

• wrapped properly in paper or packaging
• placed in a bin, not flushed into toilets
• disposed of in a safe waste system where available

Good disposal protects health, environment, and privacy.

During menstruation, the body needs gentle and proper care.

Clean the external area with clean water and mild soap. Avoid inserting anything inside the va**na as it cleans itself naturally.

Always wash hands before and after changing pads.

Simple hygiene habits prevent infections and protect dignity.
