Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain caused by increased prostaglandin production, which leads to excessive uterine contractions. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of consuming lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) drink in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea among adolescents in Sari Mulyo Village, Seluma Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 15 respondents. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain intensity after consuming lemongrass drink, with a p-value of 0.008 (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that boiled lemongrass drink is effective in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain among adolescents.
