Menstruation is a natural phenomenon for women during their reproductive years. Our aim was to describe women's experiences of menstruation across the lifespan. Qualitative interviews with a narrative approach were conducted with 12 women between 18 and 48 years of age in Sweden. Using thematic analysis, we found menstruation to be a complex phenomenon that binds women together. It is perceived as an intimate and private matter, which makes women want to conceal the occurrence of menstrual bleeding. Over time, menstruation becomes a natural part of women's lives and gender identity. Health professionals play a central role supporting women to deal with menstruation.
月经是女性在生育期的一种自然现象。我们的目的是描述女性在一生中的月经经历。我们对瑞典12名年龄在18至48岁之间的女性进行了采用叙事方法的定性访谈。通过主题分析，我们发现月经是一种将女性联系在一起的复杂现象。它被视为一件私密的事情，这使得女性想要隐瞒月经出血的发生。随着时间的推移，月经成为女性生活和性别认同的自然组成部分。健康专业人员在支持女性应对月经方面发挥着核心作用。
