Abstract: Myths about menstruation are pervasive and it is time to shatter them. We asked six scientists for their perspective on menstrual myths, including beliefs about food, mood, blood and pain. They highlight gaps between misconceptions, traditions and scientific understanding, and the hurt caused by our collective ignorance and persistent social norms.
