Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation which is generally caused by contractions of the myometrium due to prostaglandin production. In Indonesia, 43-93% girls experiencing dysmenorrhea. Effleurage massage using rose essential oil is one of the non-pharmacological methods that can be used to reduce the intensity of pain during dysmenorrhea. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of effleurage massage using rose essential oil on the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a type of non-equivalent control group design. The sample in this study amounted to 24 people who would be divided into 4 treatment groups, namely treatment groups 1 and 2 given effleurage massage using rose essential oil and control groups 1 and 2 given effleurage massage using almond oil, with the duration of each group's massage for 15 minutes and 10 minutes. Data analysis was performed using the Two Way Anova test. Results: The most effective action in reducing the intensity of dysmenorha pain is effleurage massage using rose essential oil for 15 minutes based on the mean value of the Two Way Anova test which is 3.83, and the significance number for massage duration variable 0.015 (significant). Conclusion: The effleurage massage method using rose essential oil can be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapeutic methods in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain that is easy to apply, especially for adolescent girls when experiencing menstrual pain.

Abstract

Background: Hypoestrogenism is a condition characterized by a deficiency of the hormone estrogen. This condition is commonly experienced by women who are menopausal or those using hormonal contraceptives like Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate. Exposure to this synthetic progesterone can suppress the production of estrogen, leading to a decrease in the expression of estrogen receptors. One alternative to overcome the problem of hypoestrogenism is the use of natural ingredients known as phytoestrogens, which are chemically and functionally similar to estrogen. Bengkuang is known as one of the sources of phytoestrogens. Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of bengkuang ethanol extract on estrogen levels and the expression of estrogen receptor beta in a hypoestrogenic rat model exposed to DMPA. Methods: This experimental study involved 25 rats, which were divided into five groups. One group served as the negative control and did not receive DMPA or Bengkuang extract, while the four treatment groups were administered DMPA at a dose of 2,7 mg every three days, repeated four times. Three of the treatment groups received Bengkuang extract at varying doses. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results: The findings indicated significant differences (p < 0,05) in estrogen levels and the expression of estrogen receptor beta. Conclusion: Administration of bengkuang extract can enhance the female reproductive system with low estrogen levels.
