Cramps, anxiety, nausea and irritation—menstruation can be stressful all by itself. Now, add the anxiety of a pandemic to the mix. Coronavirus has unimaginably affected our lifestyle and well-being, including our menstrual health.

Menstrupedia, which acts as a one-stop guide to educate people around the world on menstruation, is now launching a writing contest to discuss this.
