Menstruation is still a taboo in society, primarily involves stigma around discussing and caring for menstrual needs. Only 57.6 per cent women in India use sanitary napkins and 23 million girls drop out of school annually after they start their periods. This website will help in generating awareness by tracking period dates, predicting potential dates, predicting potential ovulation date, identify gynecological issue if any, tips and articles about hygiene, sexual and reproduction issues and a way to connect to renowned sex educators anonymously.
Periods? Shhh ..... Don’t say it loudly . What if any male member of family hear this ? It’s definitely not sounding weird .Coz it’s normalized in a desi household.This stigma make us understand that menstrual cycle is something to be hidden or to be ashamed of. When actually it isn’t. Mensturation or Periods is still a taboo in today’s society. The menstruation taboo extends to many parts of a woman’s physiology and sexuality, but it primarily involves the stigma around discussing and caring for menstrual needs. This taboo often leads to the exclusion of women from social, domestic, and educational activities. The taboo also makes people feel like the topic of periods is uncomfortable, embarrassing, and even dangerous to discuss in some societies. This often leads women to use code words or slang to refer to periods. “According to reports of 2020, 88% of women in India still rely on cloths, rags, hay, ash, and even leaves to manage their periods.”
So, Our initiative aims to improve the lives of women and girls by letting them know every fact related to sexual and reproductive issue . The step is to generate awareness about the serious hygiene and emotional hurdles faced by women in India during mensturation. This project is a step to normalize periods. Periods isn’t a thing to be shamed of , Sanitary pads aren’t a thing to be covered in newspaper or black polythene as if we’re smuggling something. Periods give power to create a new life . So, How it can be unclean?
Even if your cycle is regular, charting your menstrual cycle is a good way to identify other gynecological health issues you may not be aware of. If you're someone who deals with a reproductive issue like endometriosis, fibroids, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), understanding your cycle as much as possible has major benefits. And of course, if you’re trying to get pregnant or trying to avoid pregnancy at all costs, knowing information like when you ovulate can help you on your journey. For example, if you’re feeling anxious or depressed or have persistent bloating, you might have a condition like premenstrual dysphoric disorder Tracking what happens in your body each month also helps your doctor diagnose the reason you are not getting pregnant when you want to, since it can reveal if you are not ovulating, if you are having a short second part (luteal phase) of your cycle, or even if you have polycystic ovary syndrome or another hormone imbalance. Not only can the app help women who are avoiding or attempting pregnancy, but it also helps those who are undergoing fertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization.
