Abstract
Females have a physiological process at the reproductive age known as the menstruation cycle. Although
in Indian society sometimes viewed as an unclean or dirty phenomenon. Menstruation is the most notable
expression associated with puberty and having a period of significant hormonal imbalance; teenage
menstrual patterns require a lot more attention than usual attention. Menstrual health is based on the
family's socioeconomic, educational, and cultural statuses. School curriculum as well have played a role
in menstrual hygiene. Different scientific studies reveal a significant information gap between rural and
urban adolescent girls about menstrual health. Adolescent girls constitute 10% of the population, but
4.9% part of the total population of India is adolescent girls. The care of adolescents is significant over
time. Reproductive child health is gaining tremendous importance all over the world. The critical thing
for child health is that it is placed in much more significant emphasis on the overall enhancement of the
mother's competence, economic status, health, physical conditions, education and nutrition. Keeping in
mind that today's adolescent girl will become tomorrow's mother, all these things should be related to
their menstrual health be kept in mind before becoming a mother, not after becoming a mother, when
she is a child and a teenager. In present paper give a brief review of studies related to assessing and
comparing women's knowledge, perceptions, and practices about menstrual hygiene. This review is
discussed Menstruation, Problems of Menstruation, Menstrual hygiene, Social problems, Perception
about the use of the sanitary pad, Health Education etc.
