Primary dysmenorrhoea is the most common gynaecological disease in menstruating women. It is a symptom complex with cramping lower abdominal pain radiating to the back and legs often accompanied by gastro intestinal and neurological symptoms as well as general malaise. In conventional system of medicine there is no permanent cure for primary dysmenorrhoea. In order to find out a permanent remedy for preventing the recurrence of primary dysmenorrhoea and to evaluate the effect of virechana in reducing the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhoea, this particular study has been under taken. In Ayurveda gynaecological pathologies are explained under the heading of yonirogas. Clinical features of primary dysmenorrhoea are having similiarities with that of udavartha yoni roga. Apanavatavaigunya is the main causative factor for udavartha yoni roga. In the treatment principle of apanavatavaigunyasnigdhavirechana is indicated. An Interventional type of Quasi Experimental study that is before and after study without control was conducted in Govt Ayurveda College Panchakarma Hospital, Poojapura and Govt Ayurveda College Hospital Thiruvanathapuram. One group of thirty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria and diagnostic criteria were recruited for the study. Intervention administered were rookshana with takra, snehapana with sukumaraghritha, sarvangaabhyanga and avagahasweda with vataharapatra and virechana was done using sukumaraerandamThaila followed by samsarjanakrama based on suddhi obtained after virechana. Subjective parameters were assessed before and after treatment for three consecutive cycles. Pain the major parameter was recorded as per visual analogue scale and associated symptoms using verbal descriptive scale. Pain and associated symptoms were reduced immediately after the treatment which showed treatment was effective in pacifying the disease. Moreover, in the consecutive follow ups symptoms got reduced remarkably which showed treatment had sustained and progressive effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of disease and on statistical evaluation p value was found to be highly significant.

Menstruation is normal in a woman's life. The most common abnormalities are menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea) and premenstrual syndrome. About one third of menstruating women will feel some pain that accompanies menstruation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the effect of consuming ginger and ginger herbs on decreasing menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoe). The study design was quasi-experimental using the one group pretest-posttest design. The results of the study showed a significant difference in the intensity of menstrual pain before and after the ginger and ginger extract was administered, at a rate of 20: 20 grams compared to a 15: 15 gram dose. This can be seen from the p value obtained at 0,000 (p <0.05). The results of the study are expected to expand the area of ​​maternity nursing research for students regarding interventions to reduce menstrual pain in a nonpharmacological manner. For this reason, so that the use of ginger and ginger can be applied in the management of nursing care for women with primary dysmenorrhoea, further research is needed regarding the effectiveness of the management of dysmenorrhoea by utilizing ginger and ginger ingredients so that this action can be used as an alternative intervention.

ABSTRACT GIVING COLLAGENT SUPPLEMENTS ON ELASTICITYAND MENOPAUSE WOMEN'S SKIN COLOR Background: Physical changes that are generally more visible when a person reaches menopause are changes in skin elasticity and skin color. Reduced water and oil content in the skin will result in reduced skin elasticity resulting in fine lines and wrinkles on the skin and factors that cause skin discoloration are the use of drugs, use of unsafe cosmetics or absorption of ultraviolet (UV) rays. that comes from sunlight. This is caused by reduced collagen production by cells. Due to the reduced amount of collagen, there will also be a reduction in the amount of reduced glycosaminoglycans which then results in reduced skin turgor.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of collagen consumption on skin elasticity and skin color in menopausal women in Cikande, Serang District, Banten Province.Methods: This study used quantitative descriptive statistics with a Quasi-Experimental research design with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach, which is a quasi-experiment where a group is measured and observed before and after the treatment (treatement). The sample of this research was 20 menopausal women in July in Cikande Village, Serang Regency, Banten Province.Results: Based on the results of the Paired Samples statistical test before and after collagen consumption on skin elasticity, a P value of 0.0118 was obtained from the significance value α => 0.05, this indicates that there is no effect between collagen consumption on skin elasticity. Based on the results of the Paired Samples statistical test before and after collagen consumption on skin color, the P value was obtained of 0.603 from the significance value α => 0.05, this indicates that there is no effect between collagen consumption on skin color.Conclusion: There is no effect of collagen consumption on skin elasticity and skin color in menopausal women in Cikande Village, Serang Regency, Banten Province. Suggestion:It is hoped that further researchers can carry out further research on the effect of collagen consumption on skin elasticity and skin color and for future researchers to be able to continue this research, as well as become a reference in conducting further research and can be developed again, especially on variables that have not been studied. Keywords: Menopause, Collagen, Skin elasticity, Skin color ABSTRAKLatar Belakang:Perubahan fisik yang umumnya lebih terlihat nampak ketika seorang sampai pada masa menopause adalah perubahan terhadap elastisitas kulit dan warna kulit.Berkurangnya kadar air dan minyak didalam kulit akan mengakibatkan berkurangnya elastisitas kulit sehingga timbul garis-garis halus dan kerut-kerut pada kulit dan faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan warna kulit adalah penggunaan obat-obatan, penggunaan kosmetik yang tidak aman atau penyerapan sinar ultraviolet (UV) yang berasal dari cahaya matahari. Hal ini disebabkan oleh berkurangnya produksi kolagen yang dilakukan oleh sel. Akibat berkurangnya jumlah kolagen maka akan berkurang pula jumlah pengurangan glycosaminoglycans yang kemudian berakibat pada berkurangnya turgor kulitTujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsumsi kolagen terhadap elastisitas kulit dan warna kulit pada wanita menopause di Kelurahan Cikande Kabupaten Serang Provinsi Banten.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan kuantitatif stastistik deskriptif dengan desain penelitian Quasi-Eksperimen dengan pendekatan One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design yang merupakan quasi-experiment dimana sebuah kelompok diukur dan diobservasi sebelum dan setelah perlakuan (treatement).Sample penelitian ini adalah 20 wanita menopause pada bulan Juli di Kelurahan Cikande Kabupaten Serang Provinsi Banten.Hasil Penelitian:Berdasarkan hasil uji Paired Samples statistik sebelum dan sesudah konsumsi kolagen terhadap elastisitas kulit diperoleh nilai P value sebesar 0,0118 dari angka kemaknaan α = > 0,05 hal tersebut menunjukkan tidak ada pengaruh antara konsumsi kolagen terhadap elastisitas kulit. Berdasarkan hasil uji Paired Samples statistik sebelum dan sesudah konsumsi kolagen terhadap warna kulit diperoleh nilai P value sebesar 0,603 dari angka kemaknaan α = > 0,05 hal tersebut menunjukkan tidak ada pengaruh antara konsumsi kolagen terhadap warna kulit.Kesimpulan:Tidak ada pengaruh konsumsi kolagen terhadap elastisitas kulit dan warna kulit pada wanita menopause di di Kelurahan Cikande Kabupaten Serang Provinsi Banten.Saran:Diharapkan bagi peneliti selanjutnya dapat melakukan penelitian lebih lanjutmengenai pengaruh konsumsi kolagen terhadap elastisitas kulit dan warna kulit dan bagi peneliti selanjutnya agar dapat melanjutkan penelitian ini, serta menjadi sebuah acuan dalam melakukan penelitian selanjutnya dan dapat dikembangkan lagi terutama pada variabel-variabel yang belum diteliti. Kata Kunci:Menopause, Kolagen, Elastisitas kulit, Warna kulit.
