Adolescence is a crucial life stage marked by significant physical, psychological, and societal changes. With India projected to have the highest population of teenagers by 2025, understanding adolescent sexual behavior in rural central India is essential due to its unique social and cultural contexts. This article reviews existing literature to explore the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of teenage sexual behavior in rural central India. It highlights the challenges posed by societal taboos, limited access to sexual health information and services, and the impact of poverty on adolescents' sexual behavior and health outcomes. To address these issues, comprehensive sex education, improved access to contraception and reproductive health services, and efforts to overcome cultural and societal norms are crucial. The article discusses the initiatives undertaken by the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to tackle adolescent sexual behavior and emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach that addresses systemic issues while empowering adolescents. It concludes by suggesting future research directions and policy recommendations aimed at promoting safe sexual behavior among rural adolescents in central India. This article will discuss the complexity of adolescent sexual behavior in rural central India, its origins, and the challenges faced by medical decision-makers.

Dysmenorrhea influences social, physical, and psychological well-being. Dysmenorrhea causes absenteeism from school, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, depression, and other symptoms. Adolescent girl health promotion is a significant component of the major health programs. Hence a study was planned to assess the effectiveness of dried ginger on dysmenorrhea-associated symptoms among adolescent girls at a selected college, Puducherry. Sixty patients who fit into the diagnosis of dysmenorrhea were selected. Six doses of 500 mg of dried ginger were administered for 48 hours, followed by an assessment of pain scores, and the difference was noted. The fact that there was an association between demographic variables and the intensity of the disease was noted. In the pre-test mean pain score level was 5.2 ±1.2. Whereas in the post-test, after the administration of dried ginger, the mean pain score level was 4.1 ±3.97. The effectiveness was statistically tested by paired t-test (t=1.37), which was found to be highly statistically significant at p < 0.001. There is a significant association between Dysmenorrhea associated symptoms with selected demographic variables like Type of family and dietary pattern. Whereas the other demographic variables are not effective with dysmenorrhea-associated symptoms
