Description

MENSTREGPLACEBD reports where the respondent last had "menstrual regulation" performed. Menstrual regulation refers to a method of "bringing on" a delayed period or terminating a pregnancy by a health care worker briefly inserting a tube in the cervix and performing manual vacuum aspiration. Responses to MENSTREGPLACEBD are country-specific to Bangladesh (e.g., Upazilla health complex).

For more information about "menstrual regulation," see MENSTREGHR.

1 for Public
2 for Private medical
3 for NGO (non-governmental organization or non-profit)
4 for Other

Additional detail is preserved in later digits.
