Interesting Facts rank	Tue Apr 14 19:31:36 Here are the facts: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9yep3rlylo Young women say they were taught how to open a bank account in school, but not how to change a tampon or spot signs of cancer. "As a person from an ethnic minority background, in some communities it's actually taboo and quite a sensitive topic to talk about, so if you're not able to learn about these things in school, then where do you learn?" said 23-year-old Athika Ahmed. She was among the young people across Wales involved in the design of new school resources to increase understanding of the most common women's health conditions. Leaflets and posters will be available to secondary schools covering menstrual health, endometriosis, pelvic health and menopause. As a member of the Cardiff and Vale health board's youth panel, Athika said they were able to help shape the information in those resources. She said she was nervous about speaking to her parents when she started her periods at a very young age, but not being able to get support in school also left her feeling "a step behind". She was left with questions such as "when to change your pad, what type of pad you want to use, or the different types of products". "I didn't know the difference between a pad and a tampon," she said. "Simple things like hygiene would help young people get a grasp of these things and become the confident young women they could be." The menstrual cycle is already a mandatory part of the curriculum in Wales, but this is the first time material has been designed to include conditions such as endometriosis, which affects about 155,000 women in Wales. The resources include basic information but also direct young people to online resources such as Sexual Health Wales, Brook, Bloody Brilliant and Endometriosis Cymru.
