摘要

月经期女性在月经和生殖健康方面面临着各种挑战。这包括经济负担、社会污名以及对身心健康的负面影响。经期贫困的特点是无法获得足够的经期产品、教育和卫生设施,这仍然是一个普遍存在且未得到很好解决的问题。令人震惊的统计数据凸显了这一问题的严重程度,并揭示了无法获得基本月经用品的人数惊人。讨论延伸到各种经期产品的安全性和可获得性。我们利用从各种零售网站获得的数据,对现有经期产品的成本进行了全面比较。此外,还讨论了经常被忽视的潜在间接开支和对生活质量的深刻影响。在其他公共卫生倡议中,药剂师已成为举足轻重的倡导者和教育者。药剂师已做好准备,通过公共卫生教育和宣传,推动提高经期产品可及性的倡议。通过提供有关不同月经产品选择的教育,药剂师可以让个人根据自己的需求做出明智的决定。这一观点阐明了月经对个人的复杂影响,并提出药剂师可以在克服获取障碍方面发挥作用。所提出的策略植根于教育、研究和宣传,为提高使用率、减少污名化、提高那些在月经期复杂问题中摸爬滚打的人们的生活质量铺平了道路。

A pharmacist's role in increasing access to menstrual products: an education and advocacy approach
Individuals who menstruate grapple with diverse challenges in menstrual and reproductive health. This includes financial burdens, societal stigmas, and negative mental and physical health implications. Period poverty, marked by insufficient access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation, remains a prevalent and poorly addressed issue. Alarming statistics highlight the extent of this problem and shed light on the staggering number of individuals lacking access to essential menstrual products. The discourse extends to the safety and accessibility of a diverse array of menstrual products. A comprehensive comparison of the cost of available period products was conducted using data obtained from various retail websites. The often-overlooked potential indirect expenses and profound impacts on quality of life were also discussed. Amidst other public health initiatives, pharmacists have emerged as pivotal advocates and educators. Pharmacists are poised to drive initiatives that increase access to menstrual products through public health education and advocacy. By providing education on different menstrual product options, pharmacists can empower individuals to make informed decisions based on their needs. This perspective illuminates the complex impacts of menstruation on individuals and proposes that pharmacists can play a role in overcoming barriers to access. The proposed strategies, rooted in education, research, and advocacy, pave the way for enhancing access, reducing stigma, and elevating the quality of life for those navigating the intricate complexities of menstruation.
