Abstract : The menstrual cycle is a phenomenon specific to women. One of the biggest changes that girls go through in their adolescence is the commencement of the menstrual cycle. The menarche, or first period, happens between the ages of 11 to 15. Menstruation is a normal procedure, but it's also associated with a number of myths and customs that might occasionally have a negative impact on one's health. At the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, ladies between the ages of 18 and 25 are participating in the study. After the purpose of the study was described, verbal consent was obtained. 30 people answered this questionnaire. The survey consists of 30 questions. Sanitation, pain management, water consumption, and sanitary napkins were among the characteristics of the questionnaire. Female volunteers who were uncooperative or unwilling were not included in the study.Most women have regular menstrual cycles. Nobody uses a menstrual cup. The state of sanitary hygiene is mediocre at best. Women therefore need more education about the need for a healthy diet, good cleanliness, and sanitation. Future medical interventions should concentrate on these areas in order to improve young women's general health and wellness.

Keywords : Stress, Sanitary Napkins, Sanitation, Vaginal Wash.
