Informational needs related to menstrual literacy among Dutch women: a focus group study
This qualitative study shows that Dutch women perceive information regarding menstruation as inadequate. It is recommended to re-evaluate menstrual education in school and combining information in one practical, patient-oriented website. For clinicians, it is important to realize menstrual knowledge of patients may be minimal and thus to support their patients in accessing reliable sources.
