Menstruation is the periodic discharge of blood and mucous membranes from the lining of the uterus through the vagina. Menstrual disorders in Indonesia reach 15.25% of adolescent girls aged 10-19 years, while in East Java it reaches 13.3%. One cause of menstrual cycle disorders is an unhealthy diet. Frequently consuming junk food is an unhealthy habit. WHO data from 2020 shows that 80% of adolescents frequently eat junk food. At SMK Ar-Rahma Gempol Pasuruan, 51 (86.4%) female students admitted to experiencing menstrual cycle disorders, and 8 (13.6%) other students admitted to never experiencing them. In addition, 42 (71.2%) female students admitted to consuming junk food more than 3 times a week, and 17 (28.8%) other students admitted to rarely consuming junk food. In this activity, health education was conducted for SMK Ar-Rahma Gempol female students about the impact of junk food on the menstrual cycle.
