Menstrual cramps or dysmenorrhoea is common and many women consider it to be a normal part of menstruation. However, for some, pain is severe and life can be completely disrupted by their periods. It is the most common cause of school absenteeism in teenage girls and may lead to loss of job through repeated days off work.

Discussing sexual health issues is a taboo in our society. Due to the baggage associated with the topic many men and women don’t come forward and seek professional medical advice or help. Due to this their personal lives get affected.

Sexual Health is an issue that is personal to most of us. We as Indians also refrain from discussing our sexual preferences, behaviour or health issue with our family, friends or even doctors.
