Women with mental disabilities deal with menstrual problems like any other woman. The menstrual hygiene, discomfort, and sleep disturbance associated with menses make these women irritable, and their caregivers sometimes feel and decide on some unindicated surgeries like hysterectomy, sterilization, and abortion to save them from getting pregnant. While taking into consideration the burden on caregivers, complete informed choices to reach a decision are also important as these surgical procedures may do more harm than good. Early menopause happens when a hysterectomy is performed in young adults and can cause further deterioration of mental and physical health for example heart disease, and osteoporosis. Many agencies and law provide extended help and care to special children including education, and grooming which helps them achieve a life with minimum dependence. Before opting for treatment involvement of all the professionals associated with these people like psychiatrists, gynecologists, psychologists, involvement of human rights agencies, providing school education, and helping caregivers in providing care will bring some change.
