Research Brief

Menstrual Disorders among Adolescent Girls in Rural Bangladesh

Approximately 75% of adolescent girls globally experience menstrual disorders, which adversely affect mental health, social participation, academic performance, and physical activity. Adolescent menstrual irregularities may signal underlying conditions like PCOD, endometriosis and thyroid disorders. If persistent and untreated, may lead to long-term complications, including infertility. In Bangladesh, nearly 14% of adolescent girls miss school during menstruation. Moreover, half of adolescent girls report menstrual complications, but only 2/5th of them seek care from qualified physicians.
