Menstrual health encompasses the physical and emotional well-being related to the menstrual cycle.
It includes regular, manageable periods, access to hygiene products, and freedom from conditions like endometriosis or severe cramping.
The term appears in public health contexts addressing both medical care and social factors: Schools should support students' menstrual health.
Menstrual health is a human rights issue.
