Menstruation and masculinity: Exploring the relationship between boys and menstruation.

Background: Menstruation is considered a "women's" topic in India because the majority of studies on the subject solely include girls and women. Adolescent boys are excluded from this discussion, which obscures the fact that menstruation is a social epidemiological phenomenon with ingrained gender disparities. In order to motivate boys to contribute significantly to women's health, research on their knowledge, attitudes, and experiences linked to menstruation, including socioeconomic factors, must be done.
