As a final year medical student in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, I decided to write my project on MENSTRUATION. I knew, from the cases we were seeing in ABUTH that women know very little of what they do monthly. Thus my project topic was MENSTRUATION: KNOWLEDGE ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS.

The data I collected and subsequent statistical facts I generated from the data were shocking to even my supervisor"Dr S. H. Idris a consultant Community physician".

Only 6.63% of 347 students can correctly define menstruation! Women use all kind of things to manage menstrual blood. Am placing this in a public forum to remind our parents that is high time we started talking to our girls about the inevitable, teach them, educate them, and clear their doubts on issues related to menstruation.
