Yes it is not only permissible to publicly discuss menstruation but even necessary in some situations to inform those who are concerned. Allah, The Glorious Has mentioned menstruation in Quran and responded to questions about menstruation which were been asked from the Prophet (SAWA)(Sura 2, verse 222). When Allah Mentioned menstruation in Quran, and the Prophet mentioned menstruation in many Hadeeths, this means that it is useful and necessary to know certain facts and rules about menstruation. Some cultures put taboo on this subject and think that it should not be mentioned. They even look down to the female during her menstruation and ill treat her. Such cultural thoughts are away from Islamic teachings and we should try to change such cultures to make it more Islamic.
'Menstruation has many rules which must be known to every female and even married men also need to know many rules of menstruation and how to treat wife during menstruation.
'Such facts and rules are necessary to be known and there is no meaning to put taboo on publicly discussing it.
'Wassalam.
It is permissible to discuss menstruation.
Attitudes towards menstruation are largely cultural. What is the right approach depends on circumstances. In general, with social media, regardless of the topic, it is good to discuss things for a good reason (so, for instance, in this case, trying to break cultural stigmas and taboos about menstruation). It is not good to discuss things for the wrong reason (for instance, trying to gain attention or monetization through discussing menstruation by coming across as edgy or rebellious). Frequently, with social media, people have mixed intentions. Part of wisdom in life is sensing when it is good to respect social expectations and when it is good to break them.
