Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disorder among adolescents females without pathological abnormalities. Primary dysmenorrhea usually begins two days before menstruation or during menstruation and lasts up to 48-72 hours. This is due to high levels of prostaglandins that cause contraction in the myometrium. The incidence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is 64.25%, which 54.89% has primary dysmenorrhea while 9.36% has secondary dysmenorrhea. In principle there are two therapies for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea that is pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Cow milk is a food that containing high calcium and can be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea. This study aims to determine the influence of cow milk consumption to decrease the pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea in students of nursing department at SMKN 2 Malang.

The optimal dose can decrease pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea is cow milk with 1000 mg calcium which has the highest pain delta value of 4.57 compared with experimental group II and control group.
