Study shows menstrual education in Spain still deficient and increases negative experiences of menstruation

More than half of the women surveyed in a study carried out by a team from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), claim to not have known how to manage their first period. This study, published in the journal BMC Women’s Health, analyzes the information received about menstruation, the desired information and the information that has the greatest impact on how menstruation is experienced, and finds that menstrual education in Spain is still deficient.
