Objective records of the occurrence of menstrual bleeding were compared with women's subjective assessments of the timing and duration of these events. The number of days a woman experienced bleeding during each episode was relatively constant; however, the length of the bleeding episode varied greatly among the 13 cultures studies. A greater understanding of menstrual patterns is possible if the pattern is seen as a succession of discrete events rather than as a whole. A more careful use of terminology relating to these discrete events would provide greater understanding of menstruation for the woman concerned and those advising her. The methodology employed in the collection of data about menstrual events among illiterate women is described and suggestions given as to how such information can be most efficiently obtained.
