Posbindu is a place to get to learn about and develop healthy lifestyle, however in Posbindu RW 01 and 03 Pajajaran Subdistrict there is no educational program related to Kegel exercises and menopause. The purpose of this community service is to increase the knowledge and skills of postmenopausal women regarding Kegel exercises in the prevention and treatment of dyspareunia. The method used was training and mentoring for Posbindu cadres RW 01 and RW 03 Pajajaran Village, the working area of the Pasirkaliki Health Center in Bandung, which was carried out from May to September, the evaluation was carried out 2 times, namely the pretest and post test. The targets were 20 posbindu cadres and 40 menopausal women. The results show an average increase in knowledge of cadres of 19.16 points and skills of 92.49 points. The average knowledge of postmenopausal women also increased by 20.83 points, and skills increased by 90.82 points. Cadres after being trained feel more confident in providing education and becoming Kegel exercise instructors. In conclusion, training and mentoring for cadres can motivate menopausal women to do Kegel exercises as a prevention and treatment of dyspareunia.
