 Menstruation has been a word regarded more as a taboo in our society. Not until very recently women couldn’t talk about their periods to anyone but their mothers. The situation, however, is changing now.   Recent studies show that more and more women have started talking about their periods openly with their family members. While earlier they were restrained from even entering the kitchen during their periods, today, the families are more concerned about their well being than such customs. With the change in perception at the family levels, changes have been observed gradually on a higher level too. While earlier the advertisements on menstrual products were made using hidden messages, today they are more vocal and straight. Several organizations have taken the initiative of granting periodic leave to their female staff. While in several others, the females can openly discuss their menses problems and ask for sick leave. Topics on menstrual health and hygiene have gradually ...

  The fourth and biggest phase of COVID-19 vaccination in India is set to commence on May 01, 2021, with registrations soon opening up. The drive will allow a sizable adult population above the age of 18 to get vaccinated at a time when the country is facing the worst crisis since the pandemic began.  One such recent claim has actually pushed women into raising concerns about getting a COVID-19 vaccine jab while they are in the middle of their menstrual cycle. A social media post floating around mentions that menstruation "lowers" immunity for a woman, and hence, taking a vaccine, 5 days before, during or after your periods won't be safe and may not garner a sufficient response. Against all such rumours, the truth is: Vaccines are absolutely safe, period or no period. Most importantly, COVID-19 vaccines have been found to be safe in all concerns, and there is no truth to the matter that the vaccines would be harmful to take during your period cycle.  COVID vaccine can...
