Abstract :
Dysmenorrhea is cyclic pain in the lower abdomen during a woman's menstrual cycle.
Dysmenorrhea can be classified into 2 namely primary dysmenorrhea and secondary
dysmenorrhea. (Elvira, 2018) Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain and cramps that
are concentrated in the lower abdomen. (Bakhtshirin, 2015) Dysmenorrhea can be
controlled through pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, one of the nonpharmacological therapies is the application of endorphine massage therapy. The benefit
of this therapy is that it helps relax the body and reduce pain. The purpose of this study is
that this therapy can improve the quality of life of patients and provide an effective
alternative in the management of menstrual pain. This application method involves
observation and interviews, with clients who are diagnosed with menstrual pain.
Endorphine massage therapy is carried out for 3 consecutive days with a duration of 30
minutes each meeting. The results of the application of endorphine massage therapy
indicate a change in the client, namely a decrease in pain intensity. Overall, these findings
indicate that the application of endorphine massage therapy has a significant impact on
reducing menstrual pain. This study looks at the potential benefits of non-pharmacological
interventions in managing symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea. By reducing pain
intensity, the suggestion from this study is that research can be used as a basis for
implementing internal endorphine massage therapy as part of a holistic treatment
approach in menstrual pain patients and so that it can become a reference for future
researchers.
