Discussion on social media on menstruation: Why the shame or fashion idea when talking about a natural bodily process?
Talking about menstruation is
becoming fashionable ... Menstruation is just as natural as using the toilet.
Most of you readers may not think so,
but in a conservative society like Pakistan, where talking about menstruation
is still considered very flawed, some people still agree.
This was revealed to Pakistani social
media users when a Twitter user named Agha Hassan, who was opposed to talking
openly about menstruation, expressed his opinion "openly" on a social
networking site.
But women, on the one hand, and some
men, on the other, tried to increase their knowledge about it, but she insisted
that it was necessary to cover it up.
What do experts say about this?
Menstruation is a natural process in
a woman's life. This change comes after any girl becomes an adult. Menstruation
is natural, but women in Pakistani society, especially adult girls, are still
reluctant to talk about it.
According to reproductive and
menstrual health experts, society in Pakistan uses religion and social values
to present women's sexuality as a topic that is avoided. In this situation,
mothers or older sisters are the main source of information about menstruation
for girls.
This information is also given to
girls when they are menstruating for the first time. Because of this, many
girls start their periods unknowingly and unprepared.
It is estimated that one out of every
three women in Pakistan is suffering from diseases due to unsafe use of
menstruation.
Gynecologist Dr. Ayesha says that
many women suffer from sexual complications due to these diseases which can be
fatal.
"The use of unsafe methods can
lead to urinary tract infections in women. It can also affect menstrual
regularity and reduce a woman's ability to become a mother.
According to Dr. Ayesha, this not
only affects the overall health of women but can also lead to other diseases of
the kidneys and lower body.
It is unknown at this time what he
will do after leaving the post. But we are sure that many of our readers will
think positively about this. Will come
