We will be holding the Body Seminar: "A Talk on Menstruation."

The Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion will hold the 12th Body Seminar as part of its "Women's Body Support - Breeze Project," titled "A Talk on Menstruation"—New Norms for Living with Your Body and Menstruation.

"Will these painful premenstrual and menstrual symptoms continue forever...?"

"What should I do if my period coincides with an important event?"

"What should I tell the doctor when I visit a gynecologist??"

Why not listen to what doctors and public health nurses have to say about the various concerns surrounding menstruation?

In the dialogue and Q&A session in the latter half, we will explore ways to manage menstruation while answering questions from participants.

Participation is open to everyone, regardless of gender. We look forward to receiving your applications.

"Your Menstruation Might Be Made Easier"

It might be possible to alleviate those symptoms.

"Introduction to Consultation Support for Menstrual Concerns"

The Health and Medical Services Centers on each campus provide health checkups, respond to health issues, and offer body consultation services for the well-being of everyone studying and working at the university and its affiliated schools. This time, we will introduce the types of menstrual concerns and consultations we typically receive, how to balance menstruation with work and studies, and self-care methods.
