Reproductive health is a serious problem throughout human life. Vaginal discharge is one of the reproductive health problems of adolescents, especially one that women often complain about. Survey results show that 65% of teenage girls in Indonesia experience vaginal discharge. Self-esteem is an important component in forming a person's self-concept, where self-concept is an important thing in determining a person's behavior, including maintaining reproductive health. This research aims to determine the relationship between self-concept and self-esteem and the behavior of female students in maintaining reproductive health in Islamic boarding schools in Batanghari Regency.
