Although every woman starts her period at some point in life as they begin their journey to adulthood, there is still a negative stigma attached to menstruation. Despite many studies and articles normalising or debunking certain myths around menstruation, there is still a need for more education. There is also a greater need for women to know more about their periods and why specific changes occur.
