Abstract :
Dysmenorrhea is the most common
problem in women of childbearing age. Treatment for
dysmenorrhea includes NSID, OCP, COX-2 specific
inhibitors, but due to side effects, the majority of women
prefer to use complementary alternative medicine.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of
vitamin D therapy on the level and duration of primary
dysmenorrhea pain in women of childbearing age.
Method: Search articles through Science Direct,
PubMed, and Pro-Quest databases using boolean
operators (AND and OR). The study inclusion criteria
were publication in English, study design Randomized
Controlled Trial from 2015 to 2021, female study
participants with primary dysmenorrhea, ages 18 to 49
years, intervention given was vitamin D compared with
placebo, or in combination with mefenamic acid.,
novafen and calcium carbonate. The results of the level
and duration of pain were measured by VAS (Visual
Analog Scale).
Results: Statistical tests showed a significant change in
pain intensity after administration of vitamin D therapy,
which is where the administration of vitamin D can
affect the pain of dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Vitamin D
therapy can be considered to treat primary
dysmenorrhea.
