dc.description.abstractVaginal pH of Menopausal Women is Related to the Duration of Menopause Keasaman Vagina Perempuan Menopause Berhubungan dengan Lamanya Menopause Juminten Saimin 1 ,Yenti Purnamasari 2 , Sufi ah A.

Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara pH vagina pada perempuan menopause dengan usia dan lamanya menopause. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytic study conducted on 32 menopausal women in the obstetrics and gynaecology department of a teaching hospital in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. The data collection used a questionnaire comprising sociodemographic data, history of menstruation, menopausal symptoms, and medication. Measurement of vaginal pH was using a pH strip. We carried the interpretation out by matching the colour change on the strip with the rating indicator on a calorimetric scale. Statistical analysis used the Chi-square test with a signifi cance level of p <0.05. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik, dilakukan pada 32 perempuan menopause di Poliklinik Obstetri dan Ginekologi Rumah Sakit Pendidikan di Kendari, Sulawesi Tenggara. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner, terdiri dari data sosiodemografi , riwayat haid, gejala menopause, dan pengobatan. Pemeriksaan pH vagina menggunakan strip pH. Interpretasi hasil dilakukan dengan membandingkan perubahan warna yang terbentuk pada strip dengan indicator penilaian pada skala kalorimetrik. Analisis statistic menggunakan uji Chi-square dengan tingkat kemaknaan p< 0,05. Result: Most respondents were 50-55 years old. The majority of menopausal ages were 52 years, and the mean age of menopause was 50.31 ± 2.63 years. Vaginal pH ≥6 was found at>55 years (66.7%), menopausal age <50 years (58.8%), and duration of menopause >2 years (82.4%). There was no relationship between women’s age and menopausal age with vaginal pH (p = 0.701 and p = 0.732). There was a relationship between the duration of menopause and vaginal pH (p = 0.002). Hasil: Mayoritas responden berusia 50-55 tahun. Sebagian besar mengalami menopause pada usia 52 tahun, dengan rerata usia menopause adalah 50.31±2.63 tahun. Kadar pH vagina ≥6 sebagian besar pada ibu yang berusia >55 tahun (66.7%), usia menopause <50 tahun (58.8%), dan lama menopause >2 tahun (82.4%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara usia ibu dan usia menopause dengan pH vagina (p=0.701 dan p=0.732). Terdapat hubungan antara lamanya menopause dan pH vagina (p =0.002). Conclusions: The vaginal pH of menopausal women is related to the duration of menopause. Vaginal pH≥ 6 can be used as an alternative indicator to determine the duration of menopause. Kesimpulan: pH vagina perempuan menopause berhubungan dengan lamanya menopause. pH vagina ≥6 dapat menjadi petunjuk alternative untuk menentukan lamanya menopause.
