Today is #MenstrualHealthDay 🩸 To mark it, here's the second of my graphical collaborations with @periodically.bsky.social looking at the chemistry behind intrauterine devices and how they prevent pregnancy: wp.me/s4aPLT-iuds
#ChemSky 🧪
PERIODically are committed to raising awareness about menstrual health and challenging the stigma that still surrounds periods. Periods should not be a taboo subject, and they must be a part of the conversation when discussing inclusivity and access to healthcare.
In the spirit of Menstrual Health Day, we created an infographic on intrauterine contraceptives in collaboration with @compoundchem. The hormonal IUD is often only thought of as a form of contraception, but it can also help with managing periods and period-related conditions.
However, IUDs come with a range of side effects which vary from person to person. Having access to this information is important so that people can make more informed menstrual health choices.
Thank you to ViCE/PHEC for this opportunity and to the University of Liverpool for hosting the conference! We also would like to extend our thanks to the RSC Higher Education Group for providing Sofia with a bursary in order for her to attend the conference.

A lack of access to such education and healthcare remains a significant barrier to achieving menstrual equity. On Menstrual Health Day, we reaffirm our commitment to building a world where everyone has access to the resources they need to manage their periods safely.
The 28th May marks Menstrual Health Day. The theme this year is “Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld”, highlighting the importance of access to menstrual products and facilities worldwide.
