Penatalaksanaan Non Farmakologi untuk Mengatasi Nyeri Haid dengan Yoga pada Remaja

Abstract

Problems in Indonesia that are felt by adolescents, especially women, are menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as much as (62.7%). Menstrual pain before menstruation is caused by uterine muscle spasms and an increase in the hormone prostaglandin which causes the uterine muscle to contract more, resulting in decreased uterine blood flow accompanied by a decrease in uterine muscle oxygen and can trigger pain. Various studies have been conducted to find replacement therapy or complementary therapy that is safer when compared to pharmacological therapy, one of which is acupressure therapy. The emphasis on acupressure points can affect the production of endorphins in the body. From the survey results that have been carried out, it was found that teenagers did not know about acupressure techniques, so the team offered a solution, namely the management of menstrual pain with acupressure techniques. The activities carried out are by providing pre and post questionnaires for counseling activities, online counseling activities conducted on June 24, 2021, and the application of acupressure techniques by adolescents at home when experiencing menstrual pain. The results of the activity showed that the participants had understood the acupressure technique to treat menstrual pain.
