In recognition of the opportunity created by the increasing attention to menstrual health at global, regional, and national levels, the World Health Organization's Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research and the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction convened a global research collaborative meeting on menstrual health in adolescents in August 2018. Experts considered nine domains of menstrual health (awareness and understanding; stigma, norms, and socio-cultural practices; menstrual products; water and sanitation; disposal; empathy and support; clinical care; integration with other programmes; and financing) and answered the following five questions: (1) What is the current situation? (2) What are the factors contributing to this situation? (3) What should the status of this domain of adolescent menstrual health be in 10 years? (4) What actions are needed to achieve these goals? (5) What research is needed to achieve these goals? This commentary summarizes the consensus reached in relation to these questions during the expert consultation. In doing so, it describes the state of adolescent menstrual health in low- and middle-income countries and sets out suggestions for action and research that could contribute to meeting the holistic menstrual health needs of adolescent girls and others who menstruate worldwide.
认识到全球、区域和国家各级对月经健康的关注度不断提高带来的机会，世界卫生组织性健康和生殖健康部以及开发署-人口基金-儿基会-世卫组织-世界银行人类生殖研究、发展和培训特别方案召集了一次关于青少年月经健康的全球研究合作会议，会议于 2018 年 8 月举行。专家们审议了月经健康的九个领域（意识和理解；污名、规范和社会文化习俗；月经用品；水和卫生设施；处置；同情和支持；临床护理；与其他方案的结合；以及供资），并回答了以下五个问题：(1) 现状如何？(2) 促成这种状况的因素是什么？(3) 未来 10 年该领域的青少年月经健康状况应如何？(4) 需要采取哪些行动来实现这些目标？(5) 需要开展哪些研究来实现这些目标？本评论概述了专家协商过程中就这些问题达成的共识。在这样做的过程中，它描述了中低收入国家青少年月经健康的状况，并提出了行动和研究建议，以帮助满足全球青少年女孩和其他月经来潮者的整体月经健康需求。
