ClinicaliQ Brief
  • Young women are increasingly knowledgeable about menstrual health terminology and concepts (such as PMOS and cycle syncing) that differ from previous generations' understanding
  • There is a notable shift in intergenerational knowledge transfer, with Gen Z actively educating older women about period-related health and wellness
  • Clinicians should be aware of diverse patient expectations regarding menstrual cycle management and be prepared to discuss evidence-based approaches to emerging wellness trends
