5 Days of Hell: Bleed with Pride – The Untold Truth About Menstruation in India
By Ujala Gupta

Product Description:
A revolutionary, unfiltered, and deeply human book about the silent suffering of millions of Indian women.

In 5 Days of Hell, author and student Ujala Gupta shatters centuries of silence around menstruation in India. More than a health guide, this book is a powerful journey through the lives of girls and women from dusty rural lanes to bustling urban classrooms, revealing how five days each month can shape destinies, limit freedoms, and steal dignity.

With raw narratives, real testimonies, and data-backed insights, the book explores:

The biology of menstruation vs. the myths girls are taught.

The dangers of using cloth instead of sanitary products.

Religious and cultural stigmas that isolate women.

Psychological scars inflicted by period shame.

The cost of ignorance – from education dropouts to life-threatening infections.

Rural and urban experiences, both soaked in silence and prejudice.

Voices of activists, doctors, mothers, and girls who are breaking the taboo, one pad at a time.

Featuring excerpts like "Don’t tell your father. This isn’t their business.”, this book exposes the generational trauma wrapped in tradition and offers a blueprint for change.

Whether you're a parent, educator, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about dignity, equality, and health—this is the book India needed decades ago.
