Summary

Menstrual symptoms and wellbeing are shaped not only by biology, but also by social inequalities. Experiences of pain, mood changes, fatigue, mental health and access to support can differ according to ethnicity, socioeconomic position, disability and other overlapping characteristics. An evidence gap remains regarding intersectional inequalities in menstrual experiences. This PhD will use longitudinal menstrual tracking data alongside qualitative research to investigate inequalities in menstrual health experiences. Findings will improve understanding of menstrual health inequities and help inform more inclusive healthcare, policy and support for diverse populations.
