Menstrual Hygiene is one of the important aspects of adolescent health which is often ignored particularly in developing countries such as India. In this regard onset of menstruation is often a period when adolescent girls don't have any knowledge about the healthy practices during menstruation. Many studies have reported that adolescent girls particularly from developing world have inadequate knowledge of maintenance of hygiene during menstruation. Many young girls don't have luxury of using sanitary pads and are forced to use cloth and then wash it and reuse it during next cycle thus making them vulnerable for genitourinary tract infection which may sometimes be serious and life threatening such as toxic shock syndrome. Proper knowledge about hygienic menstrual practices needs to be imparted to adolescent girls by mothers, nurse, nurse educator, nurse researcher and nurse administrator. We undertook this literature review with an aim to understand level of awareness about menstrual hygiene in Indian adolescent girls.

Background: Menstruation marks the start of a girl's reproductive life and is a significant process in her life. Women’s menstrual cycle is directly or indirectly impacted by diet and physical activity. Menstruating women's health and social lives are negatively impacted by a lack of understanding of physiology, an unscientific attitude, myths, and misconceptions. Despite the array of initiatives put up so far, a myriad of challenges remains to be addressed. The study aims to estimate the menstrual hygiene practices, and associated factors among rural high school girls in mysuru.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 200 rural high school girls from January to March 2022 in rural Mysuru. A pretested and semi structured questionnaire was used for collecting data and analysed using SPSS software version 25.Results: The mean age of the study participants was 13.8±0.9 years. Out of 200 adolescent girls, 107 (59.4%) had attained menarche at 10-12 years of age. 61.7% of them reported having abdominal pain during menstruation. 71.1% of the girls reported that their diet was altered during menstruation. Only 37.5% of the study participants do regular exercise.Conclusions: The present study showed that the majority of the girls’ diet and physical activity altered after menarche and during menstruation. A focused intervention like behavioural change communication involving the high importance of consumption of fruits and vegetables, iron and calcium rich foods, avoidance of skipping meals, and taking healthy foods should be encouraged.
