Abdominal stretching exercises, Dismenorea, PainAbstract
Adolescence is a transitional period between childhood and adulthood. Dysmenorrhea is a common problem experienced by adolescents. Dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs during menstruation, usually characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, backache, headache, joint pain, and lower abdominal cramps. One way to address this is through abdominal stretching exercises. Abdominal stretching exercises can be done to increase muscle strength, promote physical relaxation, enhance body awareness, reduce muscle tension (cramps), reduce muscle pain, and alleviate menstrual pain. This research is descriptive with a case study approach. The study used an informed consent form, observation sheet, assessment sheet, NRS pain scale, and standard operating procedures (SOP) for abdominal stretching exercises. This study was conducted on 2 female adolescents with dysmenorrhea in Gampong Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh City on March 22-April 11, 2025. The results showed that the pain scale before the intervention in subject 1 was 5 (moderate) and in subject II was 4 (moderate). The pain scale after the intervention in subject 1 was 2 (mild) and in subject II was 1 (mild). The application of abdominal stretching exercises was effective in reducing the pain scale in female adolescents with dysmenorrhea. It is hoped that abdominal stretching exercises can be used as an intervention to reduce the scale of menstrual pain in female adolescents with dysmenorrhea.
