Evaluation of Practices, Knowledge and Expectations of Medical Students for Intimate Protection
Overview
Intimate protections, designed to absorb menstrual flow during menstruation, are classified into two categories: internal intimate protections (tampon, menstrual cup) and external intimate protections (disposable or washable sanitary pads, panty liner, menstrual panty). Recently, women's expectations have changed with a demand for transparency regarding intimate protection's composition and potential health risks. The choice and use of a type of intimate protection will depend on multiple factors specific to each woman. The cost of intimate protectioncould influence patient choice, as disposable sanitary pads are often less expensive.
