INTRODUCTION: Dysmenorrhea is the most common complaint in women, which is frequently reported. Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for menstrual cramps, which are caused by uterine contractions or pain associated with menstruation [1]. The incidence of primary dysmenorrhea peaks in late adolescence and early 20s, and decreases with age and with increasing parity [2][3]. Dysmenorrhea can affect more than 50% of menstruating women, and the reported prevalence varies widely (for example, 45-95%) [4][5]. Dysmenorrhea is not a disease but is a problem that periodically makes women uncomfortable during the menstrual cycle. Absence from work greatly affects the productivity of the company if women experience dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is considered to have a direct negative impact on their quality of life [6]. It is often reported to occur in one-third of dysmenorrhea sufferers. Therefore, dysmenorrhea is considered an economic, health, and social burden for a country [7]. There are many ways to reduce the symptoms caused by dysmenorrhea, namely by pharmacological and non-pharmacological or a combination of non-pharmacological pharmacology. The provision of non-pharmacological therapy is currently widely used.
