<![CDATA[Vaginal discharge is a common reproductive health problem among women of childbearing age and can lead to health problems if not property managed. One non-pharmacological approach is administering pineapple juice, which contains active compounds such as bromelain, which acts as an antibacterial. This study aimed to determine the effect of pineapple juice on vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age in the Pilohayanga Community Health Center (Puskesmas) area. This study used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest and posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 23 women of childbearing age selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation sheets and analyzed univariately and bivariately using statistical tests. The results showed that before administering pineapple juice, most respondents experienced pathological vaginal discharge, whereas after administering pineapple juice, pathological discharge decreased. The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.005 (<0.05), indicating that pineapple juice has an effect on vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age. The conclusion of this study is that pineapple juice reduces vaginal discharge and can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological therapy.]]>
