Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of propolis administration on dysmenorrhea in endometriosis patient. the main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the propolis administration reduce symptoms of dysmenorrhea in endometriosis? * Does the propolis administration reduce the amount of oxidative stress biomarkers in endometriosis? * Does the propolis administration reduce the amount of Inflammatory biomarkers in endometriosis? Participants will be given an intervention in the form of propolis at a dose of 1 drop per 10 kilogram of body weight per administration, twice a day. there will be a control group that will be given an intervention in the form of a placebo containing 70% caramel alcohol dye solution.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTPropolis

intervention will use propolis extract (liquid-based) with 1 drop/10kgBW/times, 2 times in a day for 12 weeks. propolis will be given to intervention group

OTHERplacebo

intervention will use placebo with 1 drop/10kgBW/times, 2 times in a day for 12 weeks. propolis will be given control group

Masking description

there will be a comparison group that will receive intervention in the same amount, preparation, and form, but only contain a placebo in the form of a 70% caramel alcohol dye solution. Investigator and participant will not know the contain of intervention that has given. Randomization of participants was carried out based on the arrival of participants to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic at the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital by labeling A for the intervention group and B for the treatment group. then data collection is carried out according to research procedures

Intervention model description

Endometriosis patients with menstrual pain who received LNG implant therapy were divided into two groups, each group consisted of 12 samples. The control group only received LNG, the treatment group received LNG with the addition of propolis. Propolis is given 2 times a day, namely in the morning before breakfast and at night before going to bed, with a dose of 1 drop /10 kg body weight (kgBW). Both groups were followed and reassessed after 1 month, 3 months both clinical and laboratory. Prior to receiving therapy, all subjects received education and signed informed consent for their willingness to participate in the study

tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alfa)week 0will test the outcome with ELISA test for inflammatory biomarker, using ng/mL numeric scale
pain scaleweek 0to measure the outcome, the investigators use Visual Analogue Scale for measure the pain from the subject, from 0 to 10. The scale consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). the subject will be asked to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line.
