Menstrual Management in Teens with Disabilities

Menstrual management for teens with disabilities involves providing the necessary support and resources to help them manage their menstrual health effectively. This includes education about menstruation, access to hygiene products, and assistance with changing pads or tampons if needed. Caregivers and educators should be informed about the unique challenges these teens may face, including physical limitations or cognitive barriers. Creating a supportive environment, promoting body awareness, and encouraging open communication are crucial. Proper management can enhance comfort, dignity, and overall well-being during menstruation, ensuring teens with disabilities can participate fully in daily life.
