Abstract

Vaginal discharge is a common problem faced by women of childbearing age. Lack of knowledge about the cleanliness of intimate organs can trigger natural vaginal discharge. One of the causes of vaginal discharge is a fungus called Candida albicans. This research aims to determine the inhibitory power of the antifungal activity of bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum (Wight.) Walp.) in inhibiting the growth of the fungus Candida albicans which causes vaginal discharge. This research used an experimental method with a completely randomized design with concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% with 5 repetitions. Data analysis used the Kruskal – Wallis test with SPSS 22. The results showed that the ability of bay leaf extract to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans was in the less effective category. The highest diameter produced at a concentration of 40% was 14.2 mm. The conclusion of research on the inhibitory power of bay leaf extract is that it contains a number of active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and phenolic compounds which in theory have the potential to act as antifungals. However, these compounds are present in low concentrations, so they do not provide optimal antifungal activity. Keyword : Vaginal discharge, antifungal, bay leaf extract, Candida albicans.
