Objective: to determine the effectiveness of flavonoids in purple sweet potato leaf biscuits on prolactin levels and breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Methods: this was a true experimental study with a pretest/posttest control group design, consisting of two groups: all breastfeeding mothers in the East Purwokerto Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area, with a sample size of 20 respondents per group. The intervention group was given biscuits containing 1 gram of purple sweet potato leaf extract and the control group was given education on breastfeeding mothers for 14 days. Body weight was measured using a scale, bowel and urinary frequency using a questionnaire, and prolactin levels using an ELISA kit. Bivariate analysis used Wilcoxon and Man-Whitney. Results: The average infant weight after intervention in the intervention group was 2983.50 g, the control group was 2911.40 g (p=0.010), the average number of bowel movements after intervention in the intervention group was 2.60 times, the control group was 2.25 times (p=0.461), the average number of urinations after intervention in the intervention group was 6.90 times, the control group was 6.20 times (p=0.040), the average prolactin hormone level after intervention in the intervention group was 265.15 ng/ml, the control group was 195.90 ng/ml (p=0.008). Conclusion: Giving purple sweet potato leaf biscuits is effective in increasing prolactin hormone levels and breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common condition among adolescent girls, characterized by physical and emotional complaints that can interfere with daily activities. In Indonesia, the prevalence of PMS is reported to reach approximately 85% among women of reproductive age, with 60–75% experiencing moderate to severe PMS. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pumpkin seed extract (Cucurbita moschata) in reducing PMS symptoms in adolescent girls. A quantitative approach was applied using a true experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study population consisted of adolescent girls experiencing PMS in the Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang area. A total of 42 respondents were selected using randomized clinical trial sampling and divided into three groups: intervention 1 (pumpkin seed extract 500 mg, twice daily), intervention 2 (500 mg, once daily), and a control group receiving 500 mg amylum tablets once daily for 10 days. The results showed that administration of pumpkin seed extract at a dose of 500 mg twice daily for 10 days produced the most significant reduction in PMS symptoms (p = 0.000; mean = 23.07). Pumpkin seed extract has potential as an effective natural therapy to alleviate PMS symptoms in adolescent girls.
