Abstract | When a woman bleeds for a few days from her vagina, this is known as her menstruation. Typically, this occurs every 28 days or so for most women, although it's not uncommon for periods to occur more frequently or less frequently than this, anywhere from every 23 days to every 35 days. As teens begin to menstruate, they may experience new vulnerabilities. When they menstruate, many teenage girls experience stigma, bullying, and social exclusion. Keeping these perspectives in mind, the present study was carried out in khurdha district of the state of Odisha which is one of the poor states of India with a huge concentration of people living in rural areas. A well constructed interview schedule was prepared and pretested before the study. The sample size for this study was 278 which was calculated using Yamane’s formula.
