Menstruation
Alternate Names : Menses, Period, Menarche
What can be done to prevent the condition?
Menstruation does not need to be prevented. If a woman has her uterus removed for any of several medical reasons, she will no longer have a period.
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
Menstruation lasts from puberty to
menopause. After menopause, a woman
ceases menstruation and can no longer become pregnant.
What are the risks to others?
Menstruation poses no risk to others. Any history of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, call for careful disposal of sanitary
napkins and good hand washing.
