<![CDATA[The issue of menstrual pain management, or dysmenorrhea, remains a critical public health concern, particularly among adolescent women. This community service initiative aimed to enhance knowledge and practices related to dysmenorrhea management through an educational program focused on pain relief and breathwork techniques. The target population consisted of female students at Secondary School 2 Bayang, South Pesisir Regency, who were experiencing menarche. A socialization approach was used, employing pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess knowledge and skills. The results showed significant improvements: the average knowledge score increased from 54.20 to 83.95, and the ability to perform deep breathing exercises rose from 43.52 to 100. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the educational intervention in improving students' understanding of dysmenorrhea and their ability to manage menstrual pain through relaxation techniques.]]>
