After each session, the interviewers took notes on what they observed and then the tapes were transcribed verbatim within 48 hours of the interviews. Key themes were identified and a coding frame was developed. The Word processing programme was used for data analysis. Results The age range of 33 subjects was years. Of the total, 12 The subjects mostly were from the lower-middle socioeconomic level who had migrated to the city from small villages in search of stable lives.

One-third of the subjects mentioned about the advantages of the prolongation of the menstrual period by treatment. Without it, there may be side effects. For them it is a problem. They do not want to enter menopause. For example, a doctor can cure? They want a longer menstrual period. But I think there is no cure.
