Medigy: Period Care

Period care in healthcare refers to the care and management of menstruation and related symptoms. This includes education on menstrual hygiene, access to period products, and treatment of menstrual-related conditions such as heavy bleeding or cramps.

Some common period care practices include:

Using appropriate menstrual products, such as pads, tampons, menstrual cups, or period panties

Washing the genital area with mild soap and water during menstruation

Changing menstrual products frequently to reduce the risk of infection

Managing symptoms such as cramps or headaches with over-the-counter pain relievers or heating pads

It is important for individuals to have access to appropriate period products and education on menstrual hygiene in order to maintain their health and well-being. In many countries, period products are considered necessities, however, they can be expensive and not accessible to everyone.

It is also important for healthcare providers to be knowledgeable about period care, and to provide education and resources to patients on menstrual hygiene and managing menstrual-related symptoms. This may include providing access to period products and discussing options for managing heavy bleeding or cramps.

It is important for society as well to remove the taboo around menstruation and educate people on the topic, including both men and women, to break the stigma around it and make sure that period care is accessible and affordable for everyone.
