It is rising among Indian women, where out of every 10 women one woman is affected, among them teenage girls are affected more than the others.

The sample consisted of 30 nursing students in Kanyakumari District, selected by using purposive sampling technique. The researcher used two data collection instruments. The result reveals that the pre-test mean score of knowledge level was 34.8±13.23 and post-test was 76.6±5.4. The mean reduction of pain was 2.613±15.99 and it was statistically highly significant at P<0.00001 level.
