The objective of this study is to report the experience of medical students and a multidisciplinary team in a basic health unit (UBS) in the interior of Pernambuco through lectures and dynamics on women's health. This is an experience report in a UBS, in the city of Garanhuns / PE, whose tools used during the intervention were slides, results and Likert scale to evaluate its impact. Upon joining the UBS, the students reported low adherence to the service's gynecological exams. That's why an extension project was created and, consequently, an intervention for girls in the community using a lecture on women's care to deliver the content in a clearer and more instructive way for the girls. Throughout the event, it was possible to observe the public's interest in basic information about the female body and its multiple functions. As such, it is clear that there is a need for public health interventions that emphasize the importance of monitoring the menstrual cycle as a care tool and an important indicator of women's health. According to reports, some patients were unable to determine whether they were already in menopause or not, as menstruation appeared irregularly and did not stop completely, even with all the symptoms (age, physiological aspects, hot flashes) and these facts make it clear what need raise awareness among the female population about girls' natural life cycles. It is important to highlight the importance of the health unit in the clarification process.
