Abstract

Menopause is a natural process experienced by women due to decreased ovarian function and reduced estrogen hormone production. This condition often causes physical and psychological symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, joint pain, anxiety, and mood changes. Community service activities were conducted to determine the effectiveness of green bean porridge administration in reducing menopausal symptoms among elderly women in Patumbak I Hamlet II Village in 2026. The activity involved 45 elderly women who had experienced menopause and complained of menopausal symptoms. The intervention was carried out through health education and regular administration of green bean porridge as a non-pharmacological therapy. Data were collected using interviews, observation sheets, and questionnaires before and after intervention. The results showed that most respondents experienced decreased menopausal complaints after consuming green bean porridge regularly. Respondents reported improved sleep quality, reduced fatigue, decreased joint pain, and more stable emotional conditions. Green beans contain phytoestrogens, protein, vitamins, and minerals that help maintain hormonal balance and improve health conditions in menopausal women. Therefore, green bean porridge can be used as an affordable, simple, and safe alternative therapy to reduce menopausal symptoms among elderly women.
