Is it safe for your little one to fast?<\/a><\/h3>
Fasting is a religious obligation for healthy adults. But what about children? Even though fasting is not yet mandatory, some parents may want to teach their children to fast from an early age so they get used to it later in life. From a religious perspective, a person is obliged to fast when they reach puberty, around the age of 9 to 14 years for boys and 8 to 13 years for girls. From a health perspective, at what age can children be taught to fast? \n\n From a health perspective, children can fast according to religious recommendations, namely when they reach puberty, around the age of 9 to 14 years for boys and 8 to 13 years for girls. Metabolically, children are ready to fast at that age. At around 8–9 years old, parents can start teaching their children to fast. At an age before that \n\n Just like for adults, the benefits of fasting for children include: \n\n \n Teaching children to be disciplined \n Train patience and self-control in children. \n Improves immune system function \n Suppresses inflammation and oxidative stress associated with cancer. \n Inhibits premature aging \n \n\n So that children can fast smoothly, there are several things that parents need to pay attention to when their children are fasting, including: \n\n \n The child must be in good health. \n While the child is fasting, the child must also receive fluids or nutrition according to their needs. \n Before teaching your little one to fast, parents can first consult a pediatrician to find out whether their child can fast and how to fulfill the nutritional and fluid needs that must be met during fasting. \n \n\n \n\n Children's conditions for which fasting is not recommended \n\n \n Children who are sick \n Children who are chronically ill are undergoing routine medication because there are concerns that it will interfere with the administration of the medication. \n Children with eating disorders or children who are malnourished. \n \n\n \n\n Healthy fasting tips for children \n\n \n Check your child's health condition by first consulting a pediatrician. \n Can be started at the age of 8–9 years. \n Children's diet when fasting: when fasting, the child can be given foods with a low glycemic index, such as dates, and carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, such as brown rice. Avoid saturated fats and avoid using UPF (ultra-processed food). Protein can be obtained from fish, eggs, or meat. Likewise, at dawn, choose foods that will prevent excessive hunger as much as possible. \n Apart from that, children's sleeping hours also need to be paid attention to because children have to wake up at dawn, so as much as possible, children can sleep as early as possible. So that the child's sleep time is fulfilled for 8 hours. \n Reduce children's physical activity. \n \n\n Hermina friends, listen to Dr. Puspita, Sp.A., about fasting in children in full on OBSERVASI HERMINA on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel (click here). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize Typhus Fever and DHF Based on the Causes and Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
Some people think that fever in typhus and dengue fever are the same, but they actually have different symptoms. Typhus and dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DB/DHF) have symptoms that are similar to each other, namely the appearance of fever and the body feeling weak. So some people think typhoid fever is DB/DHF, and vice versa. In fact, if Hermina's friends wrongly suspect the type of disease they are suffering from, it could later lead to errors in treatment. So how do you understand the different symptoms of typhus and dengue fever? Check out the complete review in the following article! \n\n The difference between DB/DHF and typhus is based on the cause \n\n Typhus or in medical language usually called typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by infection with the bacteria Salmonella typhi. These bacteria enter the body or rather the digestive tract through contaminated food, drink or water. Not maintaining food and drink hygiene, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water are thought to be the main causes of typhus. WHO estimates that in 2022 global typhoid cases will occur at 11-20 million per year and cause 128,000-161,00 deaths, and from the Ministry of Health in Indonesia it reached 41,081 cases over the past year and is still increasing. \n\n Meanwhile, dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DB/DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The aedes aegypti mosquito is most common during the rainy season and after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas. According to the Ministry of Health, in 2022 there were 143,176 cases recorded and 1,236 people died, and in 2023 it fell to 98,071 cases, 764 people were recorded as dead. In fact, both typhoid and dengue fever are the two diseases that most commonly attack Indonesian people, because the environmental conditions that support them are humid and warm places. This disease can attack anyone regardless of age and gender. Both typhus and dengue fever have the main similarity, namely that they both need to be treated and prevented. Let's recognize and understand what the symptoms of typhoid and dengue fever are and how to prevent them that you need to know. \n\n Symptoms of typhus and dengue fever \n\n Typhus and dengue fever do have the same typical symptoms, namely high fever. However, it turns out that both have different patterns of appearance. In dengue fever, the fever is high with a temperature of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The appearance of fever is usually sudden. In addition, fever with dengue symptoms will last throughout the day and can last up to 7 days. Fever in typhus cases, which mostly occurs in children aged 3-18 years, appears slowly. At the beginning of the symptoms, the body temperature is not too high or even normal. Then, the fever will rise gradually every day, and can reach up to 40.5 degrees Celsius. Typhus fever can also fluctuate, for example appearing at night and decreasing in the morning. \n\n The following are various different characteristics of typhus and dengue fever that Hermina's friends need to know and understand. \n\n 1. Red spots or rash \n\n In dengue fever, red spots typical of dengue fever will appear under the skin which occur due to bleeding and when pressed, the red spots do not fade. Apart from red spots, people affected by dengue fever also often experience nosebleeds and light bleeding on the gums. Meanwhile, in typhus, the red spots that appear are not bleeding spots, but are the result of infection from Salmonella bacteria. \n\n 2. Time of incident \n\n Another clear difference between the symptoms of typhoid and dengue fever is the time of occurrence of the disease. Dengue fever occurs seasonally, especially during the rainy season where a humid environment is the most suitable place for mosquitoes to breed. Meanwhile, typhoid is not a seasonal disease and can occur throughout the year if the environment is not properly maintained. \n\n 3. The pain that appears \nSymptoms of DB/DHF cause weakness, headaches, muscle, joint and bone pain. This pain usually begins to be felt after the fever appears. Apart from that, DHF will also cause symptoms of stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, as well as a red rash appearing on the body. Meanwhile, typhus is a disease related to the digestive tract, so symptoms of fever are definitely accompanied by symptoms of pain in the digestive tract, such as stomach pain, diarrhea, even constipation, if the infection becomes severe it can be followed by a decrease in consciousness. \n\n 4. The appearance of shock \nIn DB/DHF, warning signs may appear such as abdominal tenderness, continuous vomiting, swelling due to fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding and restlessness. The next emergency that can occur is shortness of breath and shock due to failure in fluid distribution to vital organs. Meanwhile, in typhus, shock generally occurs after untreated symptoms appear, such as decreased consciousness. \n\n 5. Disease complications \nOne complication that can occur is blood vessel damage, which can cause bleeding. If not treated immediately, this condition will cause organ system failure which is characterized by increased liver function, decreased consciousness and heart and other organs which can lead to death. Meanwhile, complications of typhoid can cause a hole in the intestine (intestinal perforation) which can cause intestinal contents to leak into the abdominal cavity and cause infection. If the abdominal cavity is infected, this will cause peritonitis, which is an infection of the tissue that lines the inside of the stomach. This infection can cause various organs to stop functioning. \n\n \n\n The only way to confirm that the fever that Hermina's friend is experiencing is a symptom of typhoid or DB/DHF is to see a doctor and do a blood test. So, if you have a high fever that has lasted for more than three days, immediately see a doctor to get a recommendation for a blood test at the nearest laboratory. By carrying out a blood test, you will know for sure what disease you are experiencing. \n\n In DB/DHF disease, examination is usually carried out by checking routine blood which can assess the number of hematocrit and platelets. A person affected by dengue fever can experience an increase in the hematocrit number with a decrease in blood pressure. Meanwhile, to confirm typhus, the doctor will recommend that you carry out an IgM Salmonella (sensitivity 88%) or Widal (sensitivity 77%) test after experiencing a fever for at least 5 days. This examination is carried out to find out whether your sister's blood contains proteins / antibodies against the bacteria that cause typhoid. \n\n Consult the health of Hermina Friends at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.

Replace joints so you can move freely with Total Knee Replacement (TKR) <\/a><\/h3>
The knee is a very important organ in daily movement activities. From walking to running, all activities require well-functioning bones. If the knee is injured or affected by certain diseases, in some cases a TKR (total knee replacement) procedure is needed to restore the disturbed function. \n\n What is Total Knee Replacement? \n\n Total Knee Replacement is a medical procedure that involves replacing a damaged knee joint with an artificial knee joint (prosthetic). This procedure is an effective solution to relieve stiffness and pain in the knee due to arthritis injury. \n\n Medical conditions that can require total knee replacement surgery / TKR: \n\n \n Osteoarthritis is when a person's knee joints become inflamed due to overuse or obesity. \n Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when a person's knee joints experience chronic inflammation due to an autoimmune disease that makes it difficult for the knee to function. \n Post-traumatic arthritis is this type of arthritis that can occur due to serious injury to the knee joint. \n Avascular necrosis or disruption of the blood supply to the cartilage in the joint. \n Knee joint deformity or deformity of the knee joint which can cause pain symptoms and limit movement. \n Other joint disorders that do not respond to conservative treatment. \n \n\n The aim of the TKR (total knee replacement) procedure is to eliminate pain originating from the knee. Replacing damaged knee joints with prosthetics can reduce and even eliminate pain that interferes with daily activities. Other purposes of this procedure include: \n\n \n Restores previously impaired knee function so that it can be more easily used for daily activities \n Improves quality of life with relief of pain and improved joint function \n Helps carry out physical activities that were previously difficult or impossible due to knee problems \n Increases independence after the knee is easier to move \n Reduce dependence on pain medication which is usually dangerous \n \n\n When Should Total Knee Replacement Be Done? \n\n Conditions that may need to be treated with Total Knee Replacement include: \n\n \n Severe pain or stiffness in the knee, so that you can no longer do simple physical activities such as walking, going up and down stairs, sitting or squatting. \n Inflammation in the knee does not improve even after receiving treatment with medication or physical therapy. \n Knee pain of moderate intensity but continues even though you are not active.

Cegah Stunting Dengan Gizi Tepat<\/a><\/h3>
Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time, resulting in growth disorders in children, namely the child's height is lower or shorter (stunted) than the age standard. \n\n The condition of a child's short body is often said to be a hereditary (genetic) factor from both parents, so that many people just accept it without doing anything to prevent it. In fact, as we know, genetics is a determinant of health that has the least influence when compared to behavioral, environmental factors (social, economic, cultural, political), and health services. In other words, stunting is a problem that can actually be prevented. \n\n One of the government's current focuses is stunting prevention. This effort aims to ensure that Indonesian children can grow and develop optimally and optimally, accompanied by emotional, social and physical abilities that are ready to learn, and able to innovate and compete at the global level. \n\n \n\n Getting to Know Stunting \n\n Quoting the Indonesian Ministry of Health, stunting is a child's growth and development disorder which is caused by a lack of nutritional intake, infection, or inadequate stimulation. Therefore, it is very important to meet children's nutritional needs and pay attention to their healthy growth and development, so that children do not experience stunting. Stunting is a condition where a toddler has a length or height that is less than the standard for his age which is measured by a length or height that is lower than minus two standard deviations from the median of WHO growth standards. \n\n Fulfillment of Child Nutrition \n\n Fulfilling children's nutrition must also be carried out since your little one is still in the womb. Fulfillment of nutrition, especially in the first 1,000 days of life, is the first effort to avoid stunting. Fulfillment of nutrition includes nutrition during pregnancy and childhood up to the age of two years. The health of pregnant women and children must also be maintained by implementing clean and healthy living habits so as to reduce the frequency of infections in pregnant women and children. \n\n Regular monitoring of children's growth and development also needs to be carried out, both in the womb, every month after birth until they are two years old, then 6-12 months after they are two years old, so that growth delays can be detected immediately for intervention. \n\n Prevent Stunting with Nutrition \n\n So that children are free from the threat of stunting, it is necessary to provide a variety of healthy, nutrient-rich foods to support children's growth and development. Children must get sufficient food intake, according to their age. The composition of the food must also be balanced, between carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins and minerals. All nutrients are certainly good and necessary for a child's body, but the following nutrients are the most important for preventing children from experiencing stunting: \n\n \n Protein, Protein is one of the macronutrients that is very important for stunted children. Necessary for growth, building muscle mass, and increasing body endurance,", many children in developing countries lack quality protein and essential amino acids in the diet which has negative consequences for growth and reducing stunting. Milk, chicken eggs and chicken meat are examples of protein sources with the highest amino acid (SAA) scores. This means that 100 percent of chicken milk and egg protein, or 80 percent of chicken meat protein, can be absorbed and used by the body. Meanwhile, beef protein can only be absorbed as much as 69 percent. However, vegetable protein also needs to be consumed. Several types of vegetable protein, for example tofu, tempeh, nuts are also recommended to be consumed every day along with animal protein. \n Zinc, or zinc, is an important type of mineral that the body really needs. How could it not be, its presence in the body can help strengthen immunity, for example: meat, oysters, nuts, legumes, eggs, chocolate, spinach, mushrooms, peas, cashews. \n Zinc. This essential mineral plays a role in the activation and synthesis of growth hormone, maintaining the body's immunity, as an antioxidant and taste function, as well as stabilizing cell membranes,". Some examples of foods rich in zinc are beef, chicken, chicken eggs, shrimp, crab, almonds, chickpeas, pumpkin, sesame, green beans and dairy products. \n Calcium and vitamin D, Calcium is the main component of bones, while vitamin D helps the process of calcium metabolism. Apart from that, calcium is also needed for the nervous system, muscles and heart. \n Iodine Iodine, is a mineral that is important for weight and height growth as well as brain intelligence development. Toddlers who experience iodine deficiency will have a lower intelligent quotient (IQ) than toddlers who have sufficient iodine. \n \n\n Iodine is a mineral needed by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. If you are deficient in this mineral, several health problems may occur. One way to meet these mineral needs is by consuming foods that contain iodine. Examples of foods that contain iodine: Seaweed, cod, shrimp, tuna, milk and plums. \n\n Consult a complete nutrition specialist with a clinical nutrition specialist at RSU Hermina Pandanaran with Dr. Etisa Adi Murbawani, Msi, Sp.GK(K).

Handling Constipation (Constipation), the Gastrointestinal Disturbance<\/a><\/h3>
Constipation (constipation) is a digestive disorder due to decreased intestinal function, where this digestive problem is characterized by complaints of difficulty defecating or not defecating smoothly for a certain period of time. In general, constipation can be defined as irregular bowel movements, namely less than 3 times a week. Even so, the frequency of defecation will be different for each person. Some people may defecate several times a day, while others defecate one to two times a week. This condition is often triggered by a diet that does not consume enough fiber. The frequency of defecation can vary from person to person. Normally, the frequency of defecation is 3 times a day to 3 times a week. In people with constipation, the stool becomes dry and hard, making it difficult to expel from the anus. As a result, the frequency of defecation becomes less than 3 times a week. \n\n Causes of Constipation \n\n This constipation can occur due to blockage of the large intestine or rectum (end of the large intestine) or interference with the nerves around the large intestine and rectum. Apart from that, constipation can also be influenced by increasing age, a low fiber diet or being less active. \n\n The main symptoms of constipation include difficulty passing stool, defecation frequency that is less frequent than usual, and pain when passing stool. Constipation can be said to be chronic if the symptoms have lasted for 3 months. Some of the causes are: \n\n 1. Blockage in the colon or rectum \n\n A blockage in the colon or rectum can slow or stop the movement of stool. The causes include: \n\n \n Small tears in the skin around the anus (anal fissure) \n Blockage in the intestine (intestinal obstruction) \n Colon cancer \n Narrowing of the large intestine \n Cancer in the stomach that causes pressure on the large intestine \n Rectal cancer \n The rectum protrudes from the back wall of the vagina \n \n\n 2. Nerve disorders around the colon and rectum \nNerve disorders can inhibit the work of the muscles of the large intestine and rectum in pushing stool. This condition can be caused by: \n\n \n Damage to the nerves that control body functions (autonomic neuropathy) \n Parkinson's disease \n Spinal cord injury \n Strokes \n Multiple sclerosis \n \n\n 3. Disorders of the pelvic muscles \nDisorders of the pelvic muscles which function to help defecate can cause chronic constipation. These disorders can include contraction disorders or weakening of the pelvic muscles. \n\n 4. Hormonal disorders \nSeveral types of hormones function to balance body fluids. If there is a disturbance in these hormones, the balance of body fluids is also disturbed, triggering constipation. Some of the causes are: \n\n \n Diabetes \n Hyperparathyroidism \n Pregnancy \n Hypothyroidism \n \n\n \nConstipation Risk Factors \n\n There are a number of factors that can increase the risk of constipation in adults, namely: \n\n \n Increasing age \n Female gender, especially during pregnancy and after giving birth \n Dehydration \n Low fiber diet \n Not active enough to move \n Side effects of drugs, such as laxatives, antacids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, calcium antagonists, diuretics, iron supplements, and drugs for Parkinson's disease \n Mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression \n Resisting the urge to defecate \n Have had abdominal or pelvic surgery \n \n\n Meanwhile, in babies and children, constipation can be triggered by the following factors: \n\n \n Drink less and consume fiber foods \n Worried or worried about something, for example moving house, going to school for the first time \n Anxiety or distress when practicing defecation in the bathroom \n \n\n Constipation Symptoms \n\n Constipation can be characterized by the following symptoms: \n\n \n The frequency of defecation (BAB) is less frequent than usual or less than 3 times a week \n Difficulty passing feces \n Pain when defecating \n Having to push when defecating \n The stool looks dry, hard, or lumpy \n Defecation feels incomplete \n A lump sensation in the rectum (the end of the large intestine) \n Bloated \n Nauseous \n Cramps or pain in the stomach \n Need help to remove stool, such as pressing on the stomach or using a finger to remove stool from the anus \n \n\n \nConstipation Management \n\n Constipation treatment aims to speed up the movement of stool in the intestine so that it is excreted more easily and more regularly. Treatment methods include: \n\n 1. Lifestyle changes \n\n The first treatment for constipation is to change your diet or lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle, such as drinking water, exercising regularly, eating vegetables and fruit. \n\n 2. Use of drugs \n\n If lifestyle changes do not resolve constipation, your doctor will prescribe laxatives \n\n 3. Pelvic muscle exercises \n\n If necessary, patients can also train their pelvic muscles to make defecating easier. An exercise that can be done is biofeedback therapy, which involves inserting a catheter into the rectum to measure rectal muscle tension. \n\n In this exercise, the patient will be guided to tighten or relax the pelvic muscles with the help of sound or light. This sound or light will signal when the muscles have relaxed. \n\n 4. Operation \n\n To treat constipation due to intestinal obstruction, a tear in the anus (anal fissure), or rectal prolapse, the doctor will perform a surgical procedure. Surgery is also performed if constipation is caused by cancer of the colon, rectum or anus. \n\n Constipation can be treated by making lifestyle changes, for example by improving your diet and exercising regularly. However, if these efforts do not resolve constipation, your doctor may recommend the use of medication or other measures. Apart from being a way to deal with constipation, changing your lifestyle to a healthier one can also prevent constipation. Constipation can also be prevented by not making a habit of delaying defecation. \n\n Friends of Hermina who have symptoms or complaints regarding constipation can consult with a specialist in digestive surgery at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital.

Steps to Prevent Scoliosis, Keep Your Back Healthy<\/a><\/h3>
Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that can change the sufferer's body posture. When viewed from behind, the spine in scoliosis will be shaped like the letter "C" or "S". Scoliosis can affect any age, from babies to adults. So, how to prevent scoliosis? Come on, look at the complete explanation in the following article. \n\n \n\n Understanding Scoliosis \n\n By definition, the word Scoliosis comes from the Greek word scoliosis which means crooked. Scoliosis is a spinal deformity in the form of a sideways/lateral curvature. When viewed from behind, the spine in scoliosis will be shaped like the letter "C" or "S". \n\n Adults with scoliosis, if their spine becomes more severe, will find it difficult to breathe, pain and deformity in the spine. If left untreated, paralysis may occur. Therefore, treatment needs to be done immediately when the problem is still in a mild stage to prevent various complications that can be dangerous. \n\n \n\n Scoliosis Risk Factors \n\n In most cases, the exact cause of scoliosis cannot be known. However, there are several factors that can increase the risk, namely: \n\n \n Age. Although it can occur at any age, this spinal disorder is more common in children, teenagers and the elderly. \n Gender. Compared to boys, the risk of developing scoliosis is worse in girls. \n Family health history. Although rare, having a family member with a history of scoliosis can increase the risk. \n \n\n \n\n Causes of Scoliosis \n\n Most cases of scoliosis have no known cause, which is also called idiopathic scoliosis. This problem cannot be prevented and is thought to be unrelated to several other things, such as poor posture, the impact of exercise and diet. However, hereditary factors or genes can make a person more susceptible to experiencing it. Apart from idiopathic scoliosis, here are some causes of this bone problem: \n\n \n Degenerative scoliosis. This cause occurs due to damage to the spine and often occurs in adults as they get older. \n Idiopathic scoliosis. In this idiopathic case, it occurs due to genetic factors. \n Congenital scoliosis. Congenital causes occur because the spine does not grow normally when the baby is in the womb. \n \n\n \n\n Scoliosis Symptoms \n\n If the curvature of scoliosis gets worse, the spine can also twist or twist, in addition to curving from one side to the other. This can cause the ribs on one side of the body to stick out more than the other side. \n\n Other symptoms of scoliosis that can be seen are changes in the appearance of the chest, hips and shoulders, such as: \n\n \n Lean to one side. \n One part of the shoulder will look higher. \n One of the shoulder blades appears more prominent. \n There is a bulge in one part of the hip. \n Lower back pain. \n Back stiffness. \n Pain and numbness in your leg (due to a pinched nerve). \n Fatigue due to muscle tension. \n \n\n \n\n To confirm a diagnosis of scoliosis, the doctor will ask about the symptoms you are experiencing and your history of the disease. Then, the doctor will perform a physical examination, by asking the sufferer to stand or bend, and check the condition of the nerves. The doctor can also perform an X-ray and CT-SCAN examination to determine the presence of scoliosis and the severity of the spinal curvature experienced. \n\n Hermina friends who experience symptoms of scoliosis can consult an orthopedic specialist at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.

Prevent complications, know how to treat wounds in diabetes sufferers!<\/a><\/h3>
Diabetes is a disease with high blood sugar in the body which can cause various complications and health problems, one of which is diabetic foot wounds or diabetic ulcers. As is known, high blood sugar in diabetes sufferers is because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or insulin cannot work optimally (insulin resistance). Even though insulin is really needed to absorb glucose or sugar from food to be used as energy for the body. Glucose that accumulates in the blood causes high blood sugar levels. \n\n Wounds in people with diabetes have a longer healing time than wounds in healthy people. This condition is caused by blood sugar levels that are too high. This triggers nerve damage, lowers the body's immunity, and reduces blood circulation to the injured area. As a result, wounds become difficult to dry and difficult to heal. Diabetic wound care is needed to prevent the spread of wounds and increase the risk of amputation. Some ways, namely cleaning the wound, reducing pressure on the wound, covering the wound with a bandage, and controlling blood sugar levels regularly. \n\n Steps for Treating Diabetic Wounds \nSome steps that can be taken include: \n\n 1. Clean the wound \n\n The main treatment for diabetes wounds can be done by cleaning the wounds every day. The method is to use soap and running water. After that, dry it and apply the ointment recommended by the doctor. Do not soak the wound because it can trigger infection. \n\n 2. Reduce pressure on the wound \n\n Pressure on the wound can be reduced by wearing loose clothing. If the wound is located on the foot, you should wear shoes that are specially designed to prevent worsening of the wound due to diabetes. This step can speed up the healing process. \n\n 3. Cover the wound with a bandage \n\n Closing the wound aims to prevent infection and speed up the healing process. However, make sure to choose a special bandage or gauze for diabetes, according to the doctor's recommendations. \n\n 4. Control blood sugar levels \n\n Treatment of diabetic wounds can then be done by controlling blood sugar levels. Because uncontrolled sugar levels can complicate the healing process, and even worsen existing wounds. Apart from that, sufferers are also advised to live a healthy lifestyle and insulin therapy if needed. \n\n 5. Watch for signs of infection \n\n Infection in diabetic wounds is characterized by redness, pain, pus, swelling, and a warm sensation in the surrounding area. Sometimes, sores appear from inside the wound accompanied by a pungent odor. If this condition occurs, diabetic wound treatment can be done by cleaning blood, water and pus. Next, remove dead skin in the surrounding area and apply the ointment recommended by your doctor. \n\n 6. Fulfill nutritional intake \n\n One of the recommended intakes to speed up the wound healing process is protein. These nutrients can be obtained from eggs, chicken breast, salmon, shrimp, tuna, milk and soybeans. Protein can help repair damaged skin tissue. Apart from protein, make sure to meet your intake of calories, fat, fiber, zinc and vitamin C to speed up the wound healing process. \n\n \n\n If diabetes wound care is not carried out properly, the impact can be tissue death which can lead to amputation. The sooner treatment is carried out, the smaller the risk of complications occurring.

Know Steps to Prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina friends. \n\n This time we will discuss a little about iron deficiency anemia. What exactly is iron deficiency anemia? \n\n Anemia is a condition where the body's hemoglobin (Hb) level is less than normal. Hemoglobin itself functions to deliver oxygen throughout the body so that the body works optimally. Hemoglobin is like a car whose job is to deliver logistics throughout the body. If this "car" is disrupted, then the "logistics" that should be delivered will not reach the body's cells. \n\n The normal Hb level for each population is different, but in general the normal value of Hb is \n\n \n 13 – 18 gr/dL in men \n 12 - 15 gr/dL in women \n 11 – 16 gr/dL in children \n For pregnant women, the normal value in each trimester is different, but in general it is more than 10 gr/dL \n \n\n There are many causes of anemia. However, what is often found in the general population is iron deficiency anemia or what is commonly referred to as iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition where iron is one of the building blocks of red blood cells. If the amount of iron as a raw material for forming red blood cells decreases, the amount of blood that is formed will automatically decrease. \n\n There are many things that can cause iron deficiency anemia, including: \n\n \n Insufficient nutritional intake, especially animal protein as the main source of iron \n Increased needs, such as during pregnancy \n Infections, such as worms or malaria \n Heavy blood loss, for example during menstruation \n \n\n Iron absorption in the body can be influenced by consumption of certain foods. Vitamin C, meat, fish and poultry can increase iron absorption, while calcium can inhibit iron absorption \n\n Symptoms that can occur in people with iron deficiency anemia include lethargy, weakness, tiredness, tiredness, and inattention (5L). \n\n The consequences of anemia itself include an increased risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, babies born prematurely, low birth weight, impaired growth and development, heart problems, and can reduce the quality of life in carrying out daily work. \n\n Things we can do to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia: \n\n \n Balanced nutritional diet. Foods that are rich sources of iron: liver, fish, meat and poultry. Fruits, especially those high in vitamin C, will increase iron absorption \n If you feel that your need for iron from food will not be sufficient, you can add iron supplements/blood supplement tablets. However, if your diet meets balanced nutrition, then iron supplementation is no longer needed \n \n\n Iron deficiency anemia is a disease that can be cured if treated appropriately. Consult a specialist in internal medicine at RSU Hermina Pandanaran if Hermina friends have complaints or conditions that might cause iron deficiency anemia.

Take Care of Your Reproductive Health from an Early Age!<\/a><\/h3>
The reproductive organs are vital organs that humans have. The importance of maintaining this organ from an early age, starting during adolescence, is useful for a person's survival. The number of teenagers who have premarital sexual relations for the first time is quite high at the age of 15-20 years. This condition is worrying because it is accompanied by a lack of knowledge among teenagers regarding reproductive health and is at great risk of causing problems with sexually transmitted diseases and cervical cancer. Having intimate relations at an early age, changing sexual partners, a weak immune system, and smoking are factors that trigger cervical cancer, apart from that, exposure to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the causes of cervical cancer. \n\n What is cervical cancer? \n\n Cervical cancer begins when cells in the cervix begin to change into precancerous cells. Not all precancerous cells will turn into cancer, but finding these precancerous cells through screening and treating them before they turn into cancer is very important. \n\n Signs and symptoms of cervical cancer \n\n Usually early stage cervical cancer does not cause symptoms and is difficult to detect. The first signs of cervical cancer may take several years to develop. Finding pre-cancerous cells during an examination is the best way to avoid cervical cancer. \n\n Signs and symptoms of early stage cervical cancer: \n\n \n The vaginal discharge is watery and sometimes mixed with blood and has a foul smell. \n Vaginal bleeding after intercourse, bleeding outside the menstrual cycle or after menopause. \n Menstruation that is more abundant and lasts longer than usual. \n \n\n If the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or organs, symptoms include: \n\n \n Pain and difficulty urinating, sometimes accompanied by blood in the urine. \n Pain or bleeding from the rectum and anus when defecating. \n Weakness, weight loss and appetite. \n Back pain or swelling in the legs. \n Pelvic/abdominal pain \n \n\n Causes of cervical cancer \n\n The HPV virus is the most frequent cause of cervical cancer, which is a sexually transmitted infection. HPV is spread through sexual contact (vaginal, anal or oral). Most people will contract HPV at some point in their lives and develop immunity. However, if the body cannot fight the infection, it can cause cervical cells to turn into cancer cells. \n\n Cervical cancer screening \n\n The goal of cervical cancer screening is to detect cell changes in the cervix before they become cancerous. There are several tests that can be done, namely: \n\n \n Pap smear test: Detects abnormal cells or precancerous lesions in the cervix. \n HPV Test: Detects high-risk types of HPV infection that cause cervical cancer. \n \n\n Doctors also recommend a combination Pap test/HPV test if you are over 30 years old. \n\n How to prevent cervical cancer? \n\n There are several ways to prevent cervical cancer, namely: \n\n \n Perform regular gynecological examinations and do Pap smears. \n HPV vaccination. \n Use a condom when having sex. \n Don't change partners. \n Quit smoking. \n \n\n What is the cervical cancer vaccine? \n\n The HPV vaccine can be given to children and adults aged 9 to 45 years. This vaccine triggers the body's immune system to attack certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It is best to get vaccinated before starting sexual activity. Vaccines are given in series. The number of injections required varies depending on the age at which you receive the first dose. To find out whether you are eligible to get the vaccine, you can consult a doctor. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Diabetes Patients Experience Diabetic Retinopathy, Can They Be Cured?<\/a><\/h3>
Diabetes mellitus is a disease that can attack all age groups. This condition is divided into two types, namely type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes mellitus occurs due to an autoimmune disease that causes the pancreas to be unable to produce insulin. Meanwhile, type 2 diabetes mellitus appears as an effect of unhealthy eating patterns because you cannot control the sugar intake that enters the body. \n\n Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disorder that occurs in people with diabetes. At first, diabetic retinopathy often shows only mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all. However, if left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications of diabetes. This complication causes blockage of the blood vessels in the retina of the eye. \n\n Causes of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n The retina is a layer at the back of the eye that is sensitive to light. The retina functions to convert light entering the eye into electrical signals which are then transmitted to the brain. In the brain, these electrical signals are perceived as images. To function properly, the retina requires a blood supply from the surrounding blood vessels. \n\n In diabetes sufferers, high blood sugar levels can cause gradual blockage of blood vessels so that blood supply to the retina is reduced. Blockage of the retina will trigger the formation of new blood vessels to meet blood needs. However, these new blood vessels do not develop completely so they are vulnerable to rupture or damage. \n\n Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy can vary, depending on the stage of the disease. In the early stages, patients may not feel any symptoms. However, as time goes by, some common symptoms that may appear include: \n\n \n Blurred or changing vision. \n Floating spots or dark patches in vision (floaters). \n Poor night vision. \n Empty or dark areas in the field of view. \n Loss of vision, if the disease enters an advanced stage. \n \n\n If you suffer from diabetes mellitus, have your eyes checked by a doctor regularly to ensure that your friend Hermina's vision is not problematic. Don't wait for the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy to get worse. Also, call your doctor if your vision is spotty or blurry. Pregnant women with diabetes are at great risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women with diabetes to undergo regular eye examinations. \n\n Prevention of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n The way to prevent diabetic retinopathy is to prevent diabetes, namely by keeping blood sugar levels normal. Meanwhile, for diabetes sufferers, there are a number of efforts that can be taken to reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy: \n\n \n Monitor and record blood sugar levels several times a day, then report the results to your doctor during control. \n Consume foods with complete and balanced nutrition. \n Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. \n Limit your intake of sugar and saturated fat. \n Lose weight until you reach your body mass index (BMI). \n Do moderate intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, for at least 150 minutes every week. \n Use blood sugar control medication or insulin as directed by your doctor. \n Always be alert if you feel any changes in your vision. \n Stop smoking or consuming alcoholic drinks. \n Keep cholesterol and blood pressure levels normal. \n Have regular eye examinations, at least once a year. \n \n\n Diabetic retinopathy is a health threat that can potentially cause blindness. Management and early detection with routine screening can reduce the risk of vision loss for people with diabetes mellitus. Don't hesitate to ask questions and consult a doctor at RSU Hermina Pandanaran if you experience symptoms of diabetic retinopathy.
