In a survey of high school and university students about menstrual problems, more than 90% of people had a hard time physiology and wanted to take a break from school, while 70% did not. I found that I climbed nearby.
The survey was conducted on the Internet last month by the "Japan Youth Council" made up of high school students and university students and the group "#Minna no Physiology" that conducts menstruation-related educational activities. There were answers from 300 people.
Of these, 278 respondents said they had the experience of wanting to take a break from school, classes, club activities, etc. due to their period, accounting for 93% of the total, but of these, they did not actually take a break. 190 people answered that they had a day off, accounting for 68% of those who wanted to take a day off.
When asked why they couldn't take a rest in multiple answers,
"I thought it would have an adverse effect on my grades and internal score" was the most common,
followed by "I didn't think I should take a rest because of my period", all around 60%. In addition,
there was an answer that "I couldn't say it and was embarrassed."
As a result of having to put up with it and going to school,
in addition to cases where my physical condition deteriorated, such as
"I fell down with pain that
made me
unconscious" or
"I was carried on a stretcher by vomiting",
"If I had abdominal pain and headache, I was crouching at my desk. I was angry when I had a bad class attitude. "
Ayumi Taniguchi, co-representative of "#Minna no Physiology" who conducted the survey, said, "Although both men and women are not always healthy, we can see that attendance and grades are linked and physical disorders are disadvantageous. It is necessary to create an environment that makes it easy to convey the disorder caused by menstruation. "
