What are menstrual myths and how do they affect a girl or woman?

Menstruation was a mystery over a hundred years ago when there was no scientific explanation as to why a female’s body produces a menstrual cycle every month. In current times there are no menstrual myth’s except for that a woman can will her period away. This is not true, a woman can not mentally will away her period one month if she so choose. The body’s menstrual cycle is natural and cannot be controlled.
