The results obtained are as follows: There is a relationship between the level of age and knowledge about the care of female genetal organs P value =0.000 with a significance level of α = 0.05. Meanwhile, there was no correlation between menstrual status and knowledge about the care of female genetal organs. P value = 0.173 with a significance level of α = 0.05.
