Social Support Networks and Coping Strategies Among Adolescent Girls with Menstrual Irregularities

Abstract

Menstruation begins in adolescence, adding to the already complex and turbulent time marked by changes in social, emotional, and physical aspects of girlslife. It explores the interrelationship of social support networks and coping strategies among adolescent girls with menstrual irregularities. The importance of supportive relationships with family and health care professionals in managing challenges associated with menstruation. Additionally, it discusses various coping strategies such as self-care practices, seeking medical guidance, and engaging in supportive activities. Emphasizes the need for open communication,education, and policy reform to overcome cultural taboos, stigma, and barriers to access to support and resources. This underlines the importance of empowering adolescent girls to deal with menstrual irregularities with resilience and confidence.Despite these conditions, adolescent girls' psychological burden is exacerbated by the frequent lack of counseling services and thorough knowledge about menstruation and its management.Adolescent girls who experience irregular menstruation greatly benefitfrom the support of their social networks, which include friends, family, instructors, and medical professionals. Girls who have supportive relationships experience less loneliness and suffering because they receive affirmation, acceptance, and understanding. While healthcare professionals provide medical advice and assistance, peers, and family members offer helpful suggestions, empathy, and emotional support.Adolescent girls use a variety of coping strategies to cope with peer-related problems, includingself-care practices, research on reproductive health problems, and use of analgesics. Additionally, they may find solace in processing emotions and reducing stress levels through creative endeavors such as art therapy. Despite the importance of resilience strategies and social support, adolescent girls face barriers to accessing services and support, including cultural restrictions, limited education, economic restrictions, and social insularity.
