This literature review examines the effectiveness of yoga in reducing dysmenorrhea, a common menstrual discomfort experienced by school-aged teenagers. The study utilized databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, following the PRISMA approach to select relevant articles published between 2018 and 2023. Out of 666 studies, 15 journals were identified that met the criteria. These studies collectively demonstrated that yoga has a calming effect on menstrual pain, potentially due to its ability to stimulate the release of endorphins, which act as natural painkillers. Yoga is described as a gentle activity that helps prevent stiffness, pressure, pain, and fatigue while improving flexibility, lung capacity, blood circulation, and reducing physical and emotional stress. Additionally, yoga can help reduce the release of inflammatory secretions, making it beneficial for women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The review concludes that yoga is a successful non-pharmacological strategy for managing dysmenorrhea in school-age teenagers, offering a safe and effective alternative to medication.This literature review examines the effectiveness of yoga in reducing dysmenorrhea, a common menstrual discomfort experienced by school-aged teenagers.
