ABSTRACT

Introduction: One of the challenges to menstrual hygiene management in resource-limited settings is limited access to safe and affordable menstrual hygiene products. An alternative to the widely used sanitary pads is the menstrual cup, which has received less attention in low- and middle-income countries. This study was carried out to assess the perception on menstrual cup usage among teens and reproductive age group women assess attending a tertiary care institute in a rural setup in Andhra Pradesh. Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 164 teenage and reproductive age group women attending the Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with the help of a semi-structured, pretested and pre-piloted questionnaire to assess the perception of menstrual cup usage among the participants. Data were analyzed statistically using software, menstrual cup knowledge score was calculated based on data obtained from questionnaire. Results: Most of the study participants (87.8%) were using sanitary pads during menstruation. Cloth was also used by some of the participants (11.59%). Only one participant (0.61%) was reported using menstrual cup. Majority of the participants [121 (73.7%)] reported that they had never heard of menstrual cup, whereas 43 [(26.3%)] study participants reported that they were aware of menstrual cup. Only 2(4.65%) out of 43 participants had a good knowledge on menstrual cup whose knowledge score was 12. Five (11.63%) out of 43 participants had got 0 score and remaining participants got the score between 0 and 12. Conclusion: Most of the women were not aware of menstrual cup and even if they know about it, they do not have good knowledge about it. Awareness regarding menstrual cup should be promoted through media and awareness programs to reach everyone.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Leiomyoma is the most common benign uterine tumor, whereas endometrial stromal tumors are rare uterine tumors with limited clinical experience. The distinction between highly cellular leiomyoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma can pose a diagnostic challenge to the pathologists as both these tumors have considerable overlapping features on histology.
