Improving Menstrual Hygiene, Education and Entrepreneurship in the African Girl Child

Most illnesses and diseases women have these days, in Africa most especially, are as a result of poor hygiene, lack of menstrual education and facilities and organisations to aid with the previously listed.



     So let's talk about ways we can improve on that.

Firstly and most importantly, we as women need to take proper care of ourselves health wise ranging from the food we eat, the underwear we wear to the things we wear during our menstruation.



     During our menstruation some of us wear tissue papers which can be very harmful because sometimes these tissue papers we use aren't treated and the particles from it can be stuck and cause infections. Some use towels which mostly are not sanitized or properly disinfected. the best and most appropriate thing to use during our menstruation is pads, but mind you not every pad is treated well so we have to be careful of the ones we use.

WHAT WOMEN GO THROUGH DURING THEIR MENSTRUATION

      Before a woman starts her menstruation, firstly, her body gives her signs. Sometimes these signs or warnings per Se come as pains, cramps, joint pains and back pains.
   
    The duration of the menstrual cycle differs for every woman which is within the range of three to seven days(3-7 days).
 
    Different women go through different stages during their cycle. while some may not experience pain at all, some might experience pain while some fall sick.
