Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, psychological, and intellectual growth and development. During menstruation, maintaining hygiene and preventing menstrual pain are crucial. This study aimed to determine the effect of abdominal stretching exercises on reducing menstrual pain among adolescents in Hamlet III, Helvetia Village, Sunggal, Medan. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was used. The study population consisted of female adolescents aged 11–16 years in Hamlet III, Helvetia Village, Sunggal, Medan. A sample of 10 respondents was selected using the total population sampling technique. Data were collected using observation sheets. Based on the bivariate analysis (Independent T-test) regarding the equality of means, the 2-tailed significance value was 0.00 (p < 0.05); thus, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. This indicates that abdominal stretching exercises had an effect on reducing menstrual pain among adolescents when comparing pre-exercise and post-exercise states.This study can serve as a reference for increasing adolescent knowledge and awareness regarding the prevention of menstrual pain. Furthermore, it is hoped that adolescent girls will further improve their hygiene practices by reading more and attending health seminars.
