The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of using genital cleansing fluid on vaginal discharge in adolescents. Non-experimental research design: cross-sectional analytic, sample size 67 with simple random sampling technique, questionnaire instrument and tested with Chi-Square. The results of the study, most (62.7%) adolescents used genital cleaning fluid and most (64.2%) experienced pathological vaginal discharge. Adolescents who used genital cleansing fluid almost entirely (79%) experienced pathological vaginal discharge. The value of = 0.001 < = o.o5 means that there is a significant effect. The risk of the occurrence of vaginal discharge will be even greater if you use genital cleaning fluid.
