Evaluation of Practices, Knowledge and Expectations of Medical Students for Intimate Protection
- Conditions
- Intimate Protections
- Registration Number
- NCT04870216
- Lead Sponsor
- Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne
- Brief Summary
Intimate protections, designed to absorb menstrual flow during menstruation, are classified into two categories: internal intimate protections (tampon, menstrual cup) and external intimate protections (disposable or washable sanitary pads, panty liner, menstrual panty).
Recently, women's expectations have changed with a demand for transparency regarding intimate protection's composition and potential health risks.
The choice and use of a type of intimate protection will depend on multiple factors specific to each woman. The cost of intimate protectioncould influence patient choice, as disposable sanitary pads are often less expensive.
- Detailed Description
The primary objective is to describe medical students 's intimate protection practices.
