It’s normal for many teenage girls to feel self-conscious or embarrassed about menstruation, especially as they are still adjusting to their changing bodies. Feelings of embarrassment can be intensified by the social stigma surrounding menstruation. Educating teens about menstruation and fostering open conversations can help normalize the experience and reduce stigma.
Menstruation can exacerbate body image concerns in teenage girls due to bloating, weight fluctuations, acne, and other physical changes.

Encouraging positive self-talk, body acceptance, and open discussions about the natural changes during menstruation can help improve body image.
