The purpose of this study was to determine the details of first menstruation and the differences between those who had knowledge of menstruation prior to menarche and those who did not. Information from 305 young women in India was collected regarding menarcheal bleeding pattern, disturbances in normal menstruation, and menarcheal age. Those who had knowledge prior to menarche considered it to be a normal physiological function, while those who did not were "appalled" and "horrified." Those having prior knowledge had a high rate of regularity, lower rate of dysmenorrhea, and earlier onset of menarche. The subjects were unanimous in their desire for more information to be provided prior to menarche.
本研究的目的是确定初潮的细节，以及初潮前了解月经的人群和不了解月经的人群之间的差异。收集了印度305名年轻女性关于初潮出血模式、正常月经紊乱和初潮年龄的信息。初潮前了解月经的女性认为这是一种正常的生理功能，而不了解的女性则感到“震惊”和“恐惧”。有过相关知识的女性月经规律性较高，痛经发生率较低，初潮开始时间较早。所有受试者一致希望在初潮前能获得更多信息。
