Abstract

Fluor Albus (leucorrhea) is an abnormal vaginal secretion in women. Almost all women have experienced leucorrhea. In normal conditions, this is actually normal. This becomes a problem and is called "leucorrhea" if the condition is too much, itchy, smelly, and painful. Factors that influence leucorrhea include personal hygiene, stress levels and physical activity in adolescents. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and genital hygiene with the incidence of fluor albus in class X female students of SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Sumedang. The type of research used is quantitative research which is descriptive analytical with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 52 class X female students, with a sample size of 39 female students using the total sampling technique. The analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and the occurrence of fluor albus with a ρ-value of 0.004, and there was a relationship between genital hygiene and the occurrence of fluor albus with a ρ-value of 0.003. Female students who have a good level of knowledge about genital hygiene behaviour are less likely to suffer from fluor albus. It is hoped that female students will gain a lot of knowledge from research on fluor albus, namely how to carry out genital hygiene care.
