The situation of teenage girls in India and mostly developing and undeveloped countries is quite pathetic.
In societies where girls and women are still considered secondary and patriarchal customs are in charge, teenage girls still have to live a subordinate life, and their health issues are given very little importance.
Some of the major health issues that most teenage girls in India face include unawareness about first periods, menstruation, menstrual cramps, unplanned pregnancy, pre-menstrual syndrome, personal hygiene, and more.
Lack of proper information of physical hygiene, especially during menstruation, proper diet during growing up years, psychological and physical changes a teenage girl goes through during puberty and as she grows in to an adult are major issues that affect the mental and physical abilities of a girl as she develops into a young woman.
lets more discus about Teenage Girls Health Issues in India
Emotional and Physical Changes in teenage girls
As a small girl reaches puberty, her body and mind go through many emotional and physical changes.
The hormone levels in her body are constantly changing which is quite natural and she experiences changes in her physical appearance like the development of breasts, the growth of hair in her private parts, and a natural attraction towards the opposite sex.
No set system in India will help a teenage girl accept such changes.
She must be enlightened about menstruation, the use of sanitary napkins, the necessity to maintain good hygiene and cleanliness, and also the use of birth control measures to stop the incidences of teenage pregnancies.
