<![CDATA[Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that is felt before or during menstruation which is usually crampy in nature and is centered on the lower abdomen and sometimes is so severe that it interferes with activities. Dysmenorrhea also has a psychological impact in the form of emotional conflict, tension, and anxiety. This can create an uncomfortable and foreign feeling. Dysmenorrhea can be treated with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. Non-pharmacological therapy includes warm compresses, exercise and relaxation. Consultation with a doctor about dysmenorrhea can also help in dealing with dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of warm compresses on menstrual pain. This research method is a type of quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design. The research design is nonequivalent pre-test and post-test control group design.
