Let's Talk About Menstruation…

A recent lecture on menstrual awareness was conducted at Zeal School, located in the Paud-Mulshi area of Pune, by Mrs. Amruta Chandorkar, Director of Niraamay Wellness Center. In this session, she shared vital information on this important subject in simple and easy-to-understand terms for school-going girls. She emphasized that today’s girl is tomorrow’s mother, but the process of becoming a woman is facing several challenges nowadays. Girls are experiencing the onset of menstruation at a very young age, and many face various issues during their menstrual cycles. In essence, a woman’s overall health is closely linked to her menstrual health. Addressing this significant aspect, Mrs. Chandorkar engaged in a light-hearted and interactive conversation with both the girls and their mothers. The girls participated without hesitation, asking questions openly.

Mrs. Chandorkar also brought to light several ancient scientific insights about menstruation that many are unaware of. The session included an enriching Q&A segment that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. She concluded the session by highlighting that if we explore and understand the knowledge from our ancient sciences, not only will the health of girls and women improve in the future, but the need for treatments like IVF might also reduce significantly.
