TI  - The Effect of Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Menstrual Bleeding on Women's Health
AB  - Menstrual bleeding and menstruation process is a physiological process that a woman experiences as monthly periods throughout her life as of the pubertal period, and it is seen as a taboo in many societies and is not talked about. In our study, we aimed to compile the attitudes and practices towards menstrual bleeding from past to present. While menstrual bleeding was considered sacred in some cultures in past cultures; in some, it has been a topic that is ashamed and cannot be talked about. In present days, due to the cultural taboos against menstruation, there is a lack of information about these issues and this affects reproductive health negatively. Menstrual hygiene information and education should be organized to eliminate incomplete and wrong menstrual practices, and this education should constitute an important part of health education.
