Abstract

With the development of society, more and more women start to pay attention to the mental and physical affect of menstrual shame and taboos on themselves. Since antiquity, despite the large difference between Eastern and Western culture and traditions, menstrual shame, stigma, and taboos have long existed in all parts of the world, bringing negative influences to the growth of adolescent girls. For this phenomenon, this paper focuses on the causes for menstrual shame and taboos and the mental harm done by them to women, analyzes the influence of these problems to the growth of adolescent girls, and offers possible solutions to help teenage girls grow up mentally and physically healthy.
