Knowledge and treatment of dysmenorrhea is needed by young girls, physical problems that may arise are a lack of personal hygiene (personal hygiene) so that it risks causing disease, therefore women also have a responsibility regarding personal hygiene to themselves. Preliminary study found that some female students did not know about dysmenorrhea. This study was to determine the relationship between knowledge about dysmenorrhea and behavior in handling dysmenorrhea in adolescents at school in Sleman. Methods: Analytical survey method with a cross sectional approach, taking samples by total sampling using a questionnaire. Results: The results of the research on the relationship between the level of knowledge of adolescent dysmenorrhea and the behavior of handling dysmenorrhea at school in Sleman.
