Introduction
"Lagilo Dol Jole Sthole," a poignant Nepali song, translates to "The Water Has Flowed Down." This metaphorically refers to the menstrual cycle, a natural process that often goes unspoken and unsupported in many cultures. However, women's health issues, including menstrual health, are of paramount importance and deserve our attention. This article aims to shed light on these issues, empowering women with knowledge, resources, and strategies to maintain their well-being.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in four women worldwide experience menstrual pain severe enough to disrupt their daily activities. Menstrual issues can also contribute to education and employment disparities, affecting women's economic empowerment.
