Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea is a gynecological complaint caused by an imbalance of the progesterone hormone in the blood that causes pain and most often occurs in women. Women who experience menstrual pain usually produce prostaglandin 10 times more than women who do not experience menstrual pain. This prostaglandin causes an increase in uterine contractions that causes menstrual pain. Research purposes: to identify literature related to acidic turmeric drinks to menstrual pain levels. The type of literature study conducted is using analytical metadata using literature (literature review) that can explain the benefits of acid turmeric drinks to reduce pain levels during menstruation. Menstrual pain is abdominal pain that comes from uterine cramps that occurs during menstruation. Usually occurs at the onset of menstruation and lasts several hours to several days until it reaches the peak of pain. Menstrual pain is the most common problem in adolescent and adult women, but is a different condition for many women who influence health-related quality of life. Menstrual pain, the fact that women cannot act normally can have an economic impact, because it relates to expenditures spent on purchasing, and medical care. To reduce prices on dysmenorrhea respondents, what we did was to give acidic turmeric drinks to respondents who were conceived during menstruation. Acidic turmeric drinks are drinks that are processed with the main ingredients of turmeric and acid. Naturally turmeric is believed to have active ingredients that can be used as analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory, so it is also acidic (tamarind) which has active ingredients as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and sedative.
Background: The prevalence of infections that occur during the puerperium is 7.3%, due to poor hygiene in wounds The perineum is one of the causes of bacterial proliferation. Pharmacological treatment with antibiotics results in resistance. Non-pharmacological treatment using starfruit leaf extract and cinnamon is a safer alternative solution to reduce the number of bacteria. Objective: To prove the effectiveness of giving starfruit leaf extract (Averrhoa Bilimbi L.) and cinnamon (C. Burmanii) as an antibacterial alternative to perineal wound healing in rats. Methods: True experiment the using study design pre-test post-test with control group. Data collection involved 5 rats, selected through probability sampling technique with method simple random sampling which was divided into 2 groups, namely the treatment group which was given a combination of starfruit leaf extract and cinnamon at a dose of 400 mg/kg rats (equivalent to 0.4 mg /gram body weight rats), while the control group was only given amoxicillin 0.045 mg/200 grams of body weight rats for 7 days. Results: There was a difference before and after giving of starfruit leaf extract and cinnamon on the REEDA scale score (p value <0.05) in the intervention group compared to the control group which was only given amoxicillin 0.045 mg/200 grams, then the t test showed no significant difference between the intervention group and the control group (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of starfruit leaf extract and cinnamon which was effective in healing perineal wounds based on the REEDA scale score compared to the control group, but was not effective in reducing the number of colonies of bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
