The Importance of Pregnant Women's Nutritional Intake in Preparing for Breast Milk MP-ASI Rich in animal protein prevents stunting<\/a><\/h3>
A pregnant woman must have good nutritional status and consume food that is diverse in proportion and amount. Pregnant women must consume more food because they have to meet nutritional needs for themselves and for the growth and development of their fetus/baby.\nIn this regard, pregnant women must have good nutritional status and consume food that is diverse in proportion and quantity. The reality is that in Indonesia there are still many mothers who during pregnancy have poor nutritional status, for example being thin and suffering from anemia. This can be caused by her food intake during pregnancy being insufficient for her own and her baby's needs. Apart from that, this condition can be made worse by the workload of pregnant women, which is usually the same or heavier than before pregnancy. As a result, babies do not get the nutrients they need, which disrupts their growth and development.\nHealth and nutrition programs to prevent stunting are implemented long before a woman becomes pregnant. It is best to pay attention to it from the start of life, especially from pregnancy to the first two years of a child's life (the first 1000 days). This period is considered critical because the growth and development of the child's brain and body is very fast. Good nutritional factors during pregnancy and early in a child's life have a big impact in preventing stunting and supporting children's optimal development. Therefore, attention to nutrition and health should start from pregnancy until the child reaches the age of two years. \n\n Pregnant women who are malnourished are at risk of giving birth to babies with low birth weight. For this reason, pregnant women need to understand and adopt a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition so that the mother's nutritional status is maintained and the fetus remains healthy.\nAccording to several nutritionists, prospective mothers should prepare a balanced nutritional intake long before pregnancy.\nEvery day, women need to adopt a healthy diet. As a result, you will have balanced nutritional needs during pregnancy and childbirth. It has sufficient nutritional reserves\nEven though in terms of composition the need for protein is the least, don't let this nutrient go unnoticed.\nFor pregnant women, the protein element needed is around 60 grams every day. This means an increase of 10 grams more than the requirement before pregnancy, which was 50 grams per day.\nThere are many functions of this protein, including;\n• As a source of Calories\n• As a substance that builds or forms and repairs body tissues in the fetus such as muscles, bones, eyes, skin, heart and liver\n• Plays a role in blood formation\n• Helps the formation of blood, amniotic fluid and fetal cells so that they are perfect\n• Useful in the growth of tissue and placenta and even brain\n• Forms antibodies for women and fetuses\n• Maintain healthy bones of women and fetuses \n\n Prospective mothers who lack protein intake are at risk of causing smaller babies, babies experiencing problems such as cleft lips or other physical abnormalities, one of which is the cause of stunting (children growing short).\nIn fact, a lack of protein has an effect on the imperfect formation of breast milk later in lactation. Various sources of protein There are many sources of protein that can be obtained. For example, animal protein sources can be obtained from beef, chicken, fish, egg whites, cheese, milk and so on.\nSo that protein needs are met without excessively increasing fat intake, a mother should process this protein source by boiling, steaming, dipping, or occasionally sautéing. Avoid the frying process with a lot of oil (deep frying).\nMilk as a source of animal protein can help increase pregnant women's need for nutrients because apart from containing protein it also contains other substances such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, and vitamins B1 and B2.\nConsume at least two glasses of milk per day to complete the nutritional needs of pregnant women. The protein content in milk can provide energy for pregnant women to maintain good activities throughout their pregnancy.\n \nAnimal protein is considered effective in preventing children from experiencing stunting. Animal food has complete nutritional content, rich in animal protein and vitamins which really support growth and development.\nAnimal protein intake in pregnant women is very important in preventing stunting in the fetus they are carrying. Impaired fetal growth in the womb is one of the main causes of stunting in children, one of which is due to the nutritional component \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to Prepare an ADHD Child for School<\/a><\/h3>
Hi, Hermina's friend\n\nAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is the medical term for a mental disorder in the form of impulsive and hyperactive behavior. The cause of ADHD in children is that genetic factors are known to play an important role in triggering this mental disorder.\n\nApart from genetics, scientists are also studying other possible causes and risk factors, such as:\n\nThe baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks of gestation).\nLow birth weight of the baby.\nConsumption of alcohol and cigarettes during pregnancy.\nOne of the main signs of ADHD that is commonly recognized is problems focusing. However, not all children who seem unable to focus definitely have ADHD. Because in general, children at this age still have a lot of energy so they prefer to be active to play and explore the surrounding environment.\n\nSo what symptoms do ADHD children generally have? When to be alert?\n\nWe need to be vigilant when as children get older their ability to focus, listen and wait deteriorates, causing various problems, both for themselves and the people around them.\n\nThe three symptoms of ADHD in children that are commonly experienced and need to be watched out for are:\n\nInattention (unable to stay focused).\nHyperactivity (moving too much to the point where you can't stay still).\nImpulsivity (hasty actions that occur without thinking). \n\n ADHD symptoms make it difficult for children to focus on one thing at a time. Parents who have hyperactive children need extra effort in terms of parenting, including when preparing them for school.\n\nParents who have children with hyperactivity disorder need to make various efforts to prepare their little ones before school age. The first step that can be taken is to make hyperactive children feel comfortable, both at school and when playing with their peers.\n\nRaising and caring for children is not an easy task for parents, especially if your little one has ADHD.\n\nHowever, you don't need to be discouraged. You can increase your knowledge about this behavioral disorder.\n\nThis starts from the condition itself to how to handle ADHD children in dealing with various situations, including overcoming difficulties when studying in class.\n\nThis knowledge can help you find the right way to deal with your ADHD child.\n\nYou can get information about ADHD through books, trusted websites, or direct consultation with a doctor.\n\nTo make it easier for your little one to learn later, you have to choose the right school. You can choose a special school that is intended for Ahi DHD children.\n\nActually, regular schools can also be an option. It's just that you need to make sure that your little one can attend class well and that the school also supports that.\n\nThe classroom atmosphere where they study must also be supportive as a way to deal with ADHD children in class.\n\nFor example, you can ask the school to give your little one a seat close to the teacher.\n\nThe seating position should not be close to doors or windows which could break concentration while studying in class.\n\nNot only facilitating their needs at school, emotional support is also very necessary for ADHD children as a way to overcome learning difficulties in class.\n\nYou can do this by having light conversations at home, like the following.\n\nAsk what activities the child does at school.\nWhat difficulties the child is facing and help him find a solution.\nGive praise if he succeeds in completing a task well, for example "You are great for completing this task on time, Mom and Dad are proud." \n\n Having conversations like this makes children feel cared for and appreciated for their hard work in participating in class activities.\n\nApart from that, it increases the bond between your child and you. This can reduce pressure and stress and create satisfaction in the child's heart which will directly impact his health.\n\nThese are several ways that can be done to help children with ADHD overcome learning difficulties in class.\n\nBy continuing to provide support to children in dealing with the ADHD symptoms they experience, children can be more enthusiastic about being able to overcome all the difficulties they experience. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know more about contraception, let's look at the explanation<\/a><\/h3>
Hi Hermina Friends, after giving birth you are confused about what birth control to use? Come on, look at the following explanation.\n\nContraception is an attempt to prevent pregnancy on a temporary and permanent basis.\n\nTypes of contraception:\n\npermanent contraception: in women tubectomy (binding of fallopian tubes) and in men vasectomy (termination of sperm tubes)\ncontraception without devices or drugs, for example with interrupted intercourse, MAL (lactational amenorrhea method) for mothers who breastfeed their babies and periodic abstinence (having intercourse outside the fertile period)\nmechanical contraception such as using condoms, spermaticides (substances that can kill sperm)\nhormonal contraception\ncontraceptive pills\n\nHormonal pills consist of estrogen and progesterone components or one of these components. Combination pills are the contraceptive pills that are currently considered the most effective. Apart from preventing ovulation, it also prevents sperm from entering the uterine cavity because the cervical mucus is thicker. For women who are breastfeeding, use pills that only contain progesterone because they will not interfere with breast milk production.\n\nInjections are used for the purpose of pareteral contraception, the effect of progestagen is strong and effective. The mechanism of action is to block the implantation of the ovum, to thicken the cervical mucus thereby preventing sperm from entering the uterine cavity. There are injectable contraceptives that consist of an estrogrn progesterone component which is usually injected once a month and a progesterone component that is injected once every 3 months. For mothers who are breastfeeding, use the Depo Perovera injection (3 months) because it does not interfere with breast milk production.\n\nSubcutaneous Contraceptive Device (AKBK)/implant/implant ~ a contraceptive device containing levonorgestrel which is wrapped in a silastic-silicone capsule and inserted under the skin. This method is suitable for women who should not use drugs that contain estrogen and are used for a long period of time.\n\nAdvantages of hormonal contraception: high effectiveness, low failure rate, reduced complaints of menstrual pain. \n\n Hormonal contraceptive side effects:\n\nSometimes menstrual pattern disorders occur, such as spotting, longer or shorter patterns, nausea, headaches, spots appearing on the face, changes in libido and body weight.\n\nContraception with an IUD (Intrauterine Contraceptive Device) or IUD\nby inserting a device that contains copper into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.\n\nThe advantage of using an IUD is that it can be used for a long period of time, up to 5 years, so it is more economical and does not cause systemic effects because it is non-hormonal.\n\nSide effects that sometimes arise include bleeding or spotting, pain after installation but it gradually disappears, problems with the husband during intercourse because he feels the IUD thread, but this can be overcome by cutting the IUD thread.\n\nIf failure occurs or pregnancy occurs, it will not cause defects in the baby because the IUD is located between the amniotic membrane and the uterine wall. If pregnancy occurs, the IUD should be taken to reduce the number of miscarriages. However, if this is not possible, leave the IUD alone under supervision during pregnancy.\n\nIUD installation can be done during menstruation, after giving birth, and when postpartum is finished (40 days). Control should be carried out 1 month after installation, routinely every year or if there are complaints. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heart Rhythm Abnormalities<\/a><\/h3>
Hi Friends, Hermina Banyumanik\nThe heart is a vital organ that functions as a blood pump to meet the needs of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. If the heart experiences problems, blood circulation in the body can be disrupted, so maintaining heart health is very important to avoid various types of heart disease.\nHeart rhythm abnormalities or arrhythmias are conditions where the heart rhythm rate is abnormal. The pace may feel too fast, too slow, or the rhythm may be irregular. In general, heart rhythm disorders are classified as harmless, they can cause severe symptoms and complications if this disease occurs due to a weak or damaged heart condition. Heart Rhythm Disorders can cause symptoms or no symptoms. There are 2 types of arrhythmia, namely the patient's heart rate can be felt to be very slow if it is less than 60 beats/minute (bradycardia) or very fast > 100 beats/minute (tachycardia)\nWhat Causes Heart Rhythm Disorders? \n\n Arrhythmia occurs when the electrical impulses that regulate heartbeat do not work properly. This can be caused by several medical conditions, including consumption of certain drugs (cold medicine or allergy medicine), hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disorders, heart valve disorders and congenital heart disease.\nApart from medical conditions, arrhythmias can also be triggered by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as not being able to manage stress well, lack of sleep, smoking, excessive consumption of alcoholic or caffeinated drinks and drug abuse.\nWhat are the Symptoms of Heart Rhythm Disorders?\nPatients sometimes feel that their heart rate is missing or skips, patients can feel vibrations in the chest or neck\nA heart rate that is too slow or less than 50 beats per minute is characterized by a weak body, frequent drowsiness or yawning, cold sweat and fainting.\nA heartbeat that is too fast is characterized by chest pain, shortness of breath, cold sweat, frequent palpitations and fainting\nWhat are the types of heart rhythm disorders?\nAtrial fibrillation is a condition when the heart's atrium or atrium beats irregularly, so that blood flow from the atrium to the chambers or ventricles of the heart is disrupted.\nVentricular tachycardia is a heart disease that occurs due to abnormal electrical impulses from the ventricles which cause the heart rate to beat faster than normal. People who have had a heart attack are susceptible to ventricular tachycardia.\nVentricular fibrillation is a condition characterized by the failure of the ventricles to pump blood properly or no blood being pumped out of the heart. The heart rhythm is very fast, irregular and uncoordinated.\nLong QT syndrome occurs when the heart's electrical system does not function normally. This can trigger other heart rhythm disorders that interfere with the heart's pumping function \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why are the ears ringing<\/a><\/h3>
Hi, Hermina's friend\nHave you ever experienced ringing in your ears, Hermina's friend?\nWhy are the ears ringing?\nRinging in the ears or Tinnitus is a condition when the ears feel ringing (the perception of hearing a sound without any sound stimulus).\nIf the ringing only lasts a few seconds/minutes and goes away on its own, it is a normal thing that can be experienced by everyone. However, if the problem of ringing ears does not go away within hours or days, it is called tinnitus. This ringing in the ears is actually not a disease, but a symptom of certain health problems.\nHearing loss is a condition that can be experienced by people of all ages, but is generally experienced by seniors aged over 65 years.\nThe following are several conditions that can cause someone to experience this condition:\nHearing nerve disorders\nHearing loss due to aging\nLoud sounds or noises, for example hearing music that is too loud through earphones, factory workers handling heavy machinery, or hearing loud explosions.\nAccumulation of wax in the ear.\nInfection of the middle ear\nAbnormal ear bone growth.\nMeniere's disease\nHead or neck injury\nSide effects of certain medications\nRupture of the eardrum\nAcoustic neuroma (tumor)\nMetabolic Disorders: Thyroid disorders, hyperlipedemia, B12 deficiency, cardiovascular, for example hypertension or atherosclerosis\nPsychogenic: depression, anxiety, Fibromyalgia, Stress \n\n There are various causes of ringing in the ears, and sometimes it is difficult to know for sure.\nA sign of tinnitus is ringing in the ears, even though there is no external sound.\nSome other sounds that may also occur in people with ringing in the ears:\nRumble\nClicking sound\nHiss\nHumming sound\nSubjective tinnitus, or tinnitus that only the sufferer can hear, is the most common. This buzzing sound can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high-pitched scream, and you may hear it in one or both ears. In some cases, the sound can be so loud that it interferes with the ability to concentrate or hear external sounds. Symptoms may be present all the time, or they may come and go. In rare cases, this ringing in the ears can occur as a rhythmic pulsation or whooshing sound, often along with a heartbeat. Well, this kind of condition is called pulsatile tinnitus.\nCheck the condition of your ears and complain to an ENT doctor\nHearing Tests may include:\nPure tone audiometry hearing examination, the doctor will ask you to sit in a soundproof room wearing earphones that send certain sounds to one ear at a time.\nTympanometry\nAutoacoustic Emissions\nBERRA\nMovement: The doctor may ask you to move your eyes, close your jaw, or move your neck, arms, and legs. If the condition changes or worsens, it can help identify the underlying disorder that requires treatment\nCT scan or MRI examination\nLaboratory Examination: The doctor may take a blood sample to check for anemia, thyroid problems, heart disease or vitamin deficiencies (complete blood count, fat levels, liver, kidney function)\n\nEach sufferer requires different treatment. The determination depends on the causal factors behind the ringing in the ears. For example, the doctor will change the medicine you are using if the tinnitus you are experiencing is a side effect of the medicine. If earwax buildup proves to be the trigger, the doctor will recommend ear cleaning methods or administer ear drops to treat this. However, if the cause of tinnitus cannot be detected, the treatment is certainly different. \n\n Treatment aims to suppress the tinnitus sound as much as possible so that it does not interfere with activities.\nThese steps usually include:\nUse of hearing aids\nOperation procedure\nSound therapy, for example, uses other sounds (such as radio sound or recorded rain sounds) to cover up the tinnitus sound you are experiencing.\nThinnitus retraining therapy (TRT). In this therapy, the sufferer will be trained to get used to the tinnitus sound they experience\nApart from therapy and medical measures, there are also several methods that you can apply at home to control this hearing loss.\nFor example, listening to calming music and relaxing.\nTinnitus affects people differently. For some people, ringing in the ears can significantly impact quality of life.\nIf you have tinnitus, you may also experience:\nFatigue\nStress\nSleep disturbance\nDifficulty concentrating\nMemory problems\nDepression\nAnxiety and irritability\nHeadache\nProblems with work and family life\n\nIn many cases, this condition occurs as a result of something you cannot prevent. However, some precautions can help prevent certain types of tinnitus, namely:\nUse ear protection (ear plugs) For example when using a chainsaw, playing a musical instrument, working in an industry that uses loud machinery or using a firearm (especially a pistol or shotgun)\nTurn down the volume. Long-term exposure to loud music without ear protection or listening to music at very high volumes through headphones can cause hearing loss.\nMaintain cardiovascular health. Regular exercise, a balanced nutritional diet, and keeping blood vessels healthy can help prevent ringing in the ears associated with obesity and blood vessel disorders.\nLimit alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. These substances, especially if you use them excessively, can affect blood flow and contribute to tinnitus \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Role of Fathers in Child Growth and Development<\/a><\/h3>
Hi Friends, Hermina Banyumanik\n\nWhat is the role of fathers in children's growth and development?\n\nGrowth and development in children and adolescents is based on 3 needs that must be met, namely nurturing, fulfillment of nutrition, health, immunization and protection from injury, apart from that, love and care, namely the fulfillment of continuous love, a sense of security in the family and opportunities to learn. These three things are given by both parents, according to ASFA (the adoption and safe families act) Fathers because apart from being the head of the family to create security and the availability of housing, he is also the provider of family welfare, so that teenagers will be formed who have principles, and it is not easy give up. \n\n Fathers' influence on children's well-being can have an impact on children's cognitive abilities and achievement. According to McAdoo's study, the role of the father in the family is that of a nourished mother, a caregiver other than the mother and fostering a positive relationship between mother and child by spending time together, child specialist and educator disciplining children in the right way, providing religious and other scientific education, providing world guidance. From the outside until a positive role model is formed, a protector who serves and protects, as well as a decision maker in the family, children can include their father's opinion as a consideration in decision making. Sundari's study also states that father nutrition can help the development of gender roles so that boys appear more masculine and girls appear more feminine, moral development with generosity can be an example of a father who is not antisocial and hostile, and the study states that when As adults, children's self-adjustment is better and raises achievement motivation.\n\nThe obstacles to the father's role in teenage children are usually other than the father's motivation to be involved in the child's life, because career/job saliency which causes stress makes him less attached to the care/rearing of the family's children, besides this, less self-confidence and skills lead to less efficacy, which must be supported by the mother's confidence in the father's parenting.\n\nIt is hoped that the father's role in the growth and development of teenage children can prevent children from bad influences, where when they were little they were introduced to them by their father and they became individuals with strong personalities who do not give up easily so that they can prevent teenagers from ending their own lives. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SKIN CANCER<\/a><\/h3>
Understanding\n\nSkin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, caused by unrepaired DNA damage, thus triggering mutations. This mutation causes the skin cells to proliferate rapidly and form malignant tumors. The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma.\n\nEtiology\nExcessive sun exposure is thought to cause skin damage and trigger abnormal growth in skin cells. Some other conditions that play a role in increasing risk factors include:\n\nThere is a history of skin cancer in the family\nHas a light skin tone\nHaving moles in a large number or large size\nPoor body immunity\nViral infection\nHaving wounds that don't heal for a long time (chronic non-healing wounds) especially burns\nRadiation exposure\nExposure to compounds or chemicals \n\n Clinical Symptoms\nSkin cancer appears primarily on areas of the skin that are exposed to sunlight, including the skin of the head, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, and feet. This disease can also form in areas that are rarely exposed to sunlight, such as the palms of the hands, under the fingernails or toenails, and the genital area.\n\nBasal Cell Carcinoma\nBasal cell carcinoma is characterized by the appearance of soft and shiny lumps on the surface of the skin. They can also be flat shaped lesions on the skin that are dark or reddish brown coloured that are similar to flesh.\n\nSquamous Cell Carcinoma\nSquamous cell carcinoma is characterized by the appearance of red and hard lumps on the skin. It can also be a lesion with a flat shape and scaly like a crust. These lesions can feel itchy, bleed, even become crusty.\n\nMalignant Melanoma\nMelanoma skin cancer is marked by the appearance of spots or bumps that are brown. Melanoma does look like a regular mole,\n\nbut the shape is irregular. The ABCDE method can be used to differentiate melanoma from ordinary moles, including:\n\nAsymmetrical, most melanoma skin cancers have an asymmetrical shape.\nBorders or edges of melanoma skin cancer tend to be irregular.\nThe color of melanoma skin cancer is usually more than one.\nThe diameter or size of melanoma skin cancer is usually more than 6 millimeters\nEvolution, that is the occurrence of changes in the shape, color, or size of a mole.\nThis is the most important sign of melanoma skin cancer. \n\n Diagnosis\nDiagnosis is obtained from anamnesis, physical examination and supporting examinations. Supporting examinations can take the form of a biopsy, a procedure of taking a sample from skin tissue and examination carrying out in the laboratory. If the skin problem that occurs is indeed caused by cancer, the stage or level of severity of the skin cancer that has occurred can be determined. Next next\n\nOther supporting examinations are carried out, such as MRI, CT scan, or lymph node biopsy to find out the spread of cancer cells.\n\nTherapy\nTherapy for skin cancer consists of surgical and non-surgical therapy, including :\n\nSurgery by excision\nSurgery with Mohs Micrographic Surgery Technique\nCurettage and cautery\nFrozen surgery\nPhotodynamic therapy\nRadiotherapy\nChemotherapy \n\n Prevention\nSome steps that can be taken to prevent the occurrence of skin cancer include:\n\nAvoid excessive sun exposure during the day, especially between 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.\nUse sunscreen regularly to prevent the absorption of UV rays into the skin while reducing the risk of damage to the skin due to sunlight.\nWear clothing that covers the body, such as a shirt with long sleeves and long pants.\nWear a hat and sunglasses when leaving the house to help provide extra protection to the eye and head areas from the sun.\nAs much as possible, avoid using tanning beds or tools to darken the skin. Because, this tool emits ultraviolet radiation which is very dangerous for the skin.\nRoutinely do skin examinations and immediately ask a doctor if there are any skin abnormalities, especially on previously owned moles\nsuch as the size enlarges and expands, the color darkens, the edges of the lesion become irregular, there are additional lesions around the lesion, the consistency becomes soft or brittle, the flat shape becomes protruding and irregular, the surface of the lesion has sores, and the appearance of itching on the mole . \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is Craniotomy?<\/a><\/h3>
Craniotomy is a neurological surgical procedure that involves removing part or all of the skull bones to access the brain. This procedure is performed for a variety of medical reasons, including removing brain tumors, treating traumatic brain injuries, treating brain bleeding, removing damaged brain tissue, as well as for other surgical procedures involving the brain.\n\nBased on the medical equipment used, craniotomy can be divided into several types, namely:\n\nStereotactic craniotomy: A craniotomy that involves a CT scan or MRI to examine the condition of the brain in the form of three-dimensional images. This type of craniotomy allows the surgeon to distinguish healthy brain tissue from that which is not. Apart from that, other uses of stereotactic craniotomy are for biopsy of problematic brain tissue, fluid aspiration (abscesses, hematomas, or cysts), and gamma knife radiosurgery.\nEndoscopic craniotomy: Through this procedure, after making a small hole in the skull bone, the doctor can insert an endoscope (a thin tube equipped with a camera) to diagnose or treat disorders of the brain, such as brain aneurysms.\nA number of medical conditions that can be followed up with a craniotomy procedure are as follows:\n\nTrauma or injury to the brain.\nCancer or brain tumor.\nBrain aneurysm.\nHydrocephalus.\nBrain abscess.\nEpilepsy.\nInstallation of a special device (deep brain stimulation) to treat Parkinson's disease.\nStrokes.\nHematoma or blood clot in the brain.\nAfter surgery, the doctor will monitor the patient's condition and administer medication to reduce the risk of complications. The doctor will also examine the patient's nervous system and brain to ensure that these organs can function properly after surgery.\n\nOnce the body's condition is stable, the patient will also undergo physiotherapy to support the body's recovery process and facilitate the patient's daily activities.\n\nDuring the recovery period at home, patients are advised to get plenty of rest, consume foods high in fiber, drink enough water, and regularly see a doctor.\n\nPatients also need to pay attention to the activities they do. Avoid driving a car, lifting heavy weights, having sex, as well as consuming alcohol and smoking, if not recommended by a doctor.\n\nCraniotomy is a complex and high-risk surgical procedure, and often requires intensive postoperative care. Patients undergoing craniotomy will be cared for by a medical team specially trained in the care of neurological patients. The main goal of this procedure is to treat medical problems related to the brain and minimize the risk of additional damage to brain tissue. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Infertility in Marriage<\/a><\/h3>
Infertility is the failure to get pregnant after trying to get pregnant by having regular sexual intercourse for at least 1 year.\nInfertility due to female and male factors or a combination of both is experienced by many couples. As many as 10-15% of couples in Indonesia have difficulty getting pregnant. Of the many cases, a third of cases are caused by female factors, a third of cases are caused by male factors, and a third of cases are caused by both factors. The cause of female factor infertility is difficult to diagnose, the choice of therapy depends on the underlying cause.\n\nThere are no major symptoms of infertility in women. Menstrual cycles that are too long, 35 days or more, or too short, 21 days or less, irregular cycles or often late can indicate a low chance of fertility. When to see a doctor depends on your age. If you are 30 or under, some doctors will recommend trying to get pregnant naturally for at least a year. If you are between 35 and 40 years old, talk to your doctor about your concerns after 6 months of trying. If you are over 40 years old, your doctor will recommend immediate examination and therapy.\n\nYour doctor will also immediately recommend immediate testing or therapy if you and your partner have an underlying disease or if you have a history of irregular or painful menstruation, pelvic inflammatory infections, recurrent miscarriages or a history of previous cancer therapy or endometriosis.\n\nFor pregnancy to occur, one of the following factors is important, namely:\nOvulation. To get pregnant, the ovaries need to produce and release eggs, this process is known as ovulation. Your doctor can help you evaluate your menstrual cycle and confirm ovulation.\n\nSperm. For most couples, this is not a problem unless your partner has a history of illness or previous surgery. Your doctor can perform a simple examination to evaluate the health of your partner's sperm. \n\n \n\n Regular sexual intercourse is necessary during your fertile period. Consult your doctor to better understand when your fertile periods are.\n\nYou should have normal fallopian tubes and uterus. Eggs and sperm meet in the fallopian tubes and pregnancy requires a healthy place for pregnancy to occur.\n\nIn some situations the cause of infertility may not be found after an evaluation. This could be caused by various combinations of causes from both partners. Although it is tiring to get answers to the causes of this unexplained infertility, quite a few pregnancies occur on their own over time. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Heart and Blood Vessels<\/a><\/h3>
Until now, heart disease is still a frightening threat to society. Heart disease is synonymous with death and poor quality of life. This public fear is quite reasonable, considering that the death rate due to heart disease has continued to increase in recent years. Death due to heart disease often occurs suddenly and without previous significant complaints. The high death rate due to heart disease, especially heart attacks, should be of concern to the public and health workers so that early detection and prevention of heart disease can be further encouraged.\n\n\n\nThe heart is one of several vital human organs. The importance of maintaining a healthy heart is certainly important. Changes in modern lifestyles that are increasingly unhealthy are closely related to the increasing number of cases of heart disease. This increase occurred in various countries, including Indonesia. For those living with heart disease, managing risk factors such as blood pressure, weight, and blood cholesterol levels is important. \n\n Changes in modern lifestyles that are increasingly unhealthy are closely related to the increasing number of cases of heart disease.

The Spirit of Achieving Ideal Body Weight<\/a><\/h3>
Hi Hermina Friends\nObesity is a condition where the body weight exceeds normal limits due to the accumulation of excess fat in the body. Obesity occurs because the intake of calories is more than the number of calories burned, so the body will store calories that are not used in the form of fat.\n\nObesity is not just being overweight. Obesity is characterized by a body mass index (BMI) value of 30 or more, easy or profuse sweating, accumulation of fat in several areas of the body, fatigue, and joint pain.\n\nIn children, obesity is generally characterized by fat accumulation in the breasts, tightness when doing physical activity, and puberty disorders.\n\nObesity can be caused by consuming fast food or drinks containing added sugar in the long term. Obesity can also be caused by excessive food consumption that is not balanced with regular exercise.\n\nWho doesn't want to achieve ideal body weight? Of course, almost everyone wants this. The ideal body weight besides being visually attractive is also good in terms of health. Being overweight is prone to causing several serious diseases, therefore special attention is needed to maintain body weight to stay at an ideal number.\n\nIf you don't know your ideal weight, you can calculate your ideal weight using the body mass index (BMI) formula, also known as Body Mass Index (BMI).\n\nThis BMI calculates the ideal body weight based on weight and height. In calculating, weight must be converted in kilograms and height in meters squared. Then, the weight is divided by the height.\n\nIf the result is between 18-25 points then this is a normal category, if under 18 then it is underweight and vice versa if it is above 25 points it can be categorized as overweight or overweight. \n\n Here are some of the dangers of obesity for the body:\n1. Heart disease and stroke\n2. Diabetes\n3. Obstructive sleep apnea\n4. Certain cancers\n5. Osteoarthritis\n6. Asthma\n7. High blood pressure\n8. Digestive and liver problems\n9. Kidney failure\n10. Varicose veins\n11. Reduced quality of life\n\nLifestyle is an Important Factor that Influences Body Weight\n\nStress, lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, large consumption of processed foods and drinks high in GGL (Salt, Sugar and Fat) as well as an unbalanced diet are part of a lifestyle that greatly influences weight gain. Maybe many people don't realize the importance of a good, age-appropriate sleep pattern. With enough sleep, the body's functions can run well and avoid stress. On the other hand, continuous lack of sleep can disrupt hunger hormones and increase appetite which can lead to overeating.\n\n \n\nTips for Maintaining Ideal Body Weight\n\nAfter knowing your BMI and the factors that influence your weight, here are the steps to achieve your ideal body weight.\n\n1. Reduce high-calorie snacks and consume more fruit and vegetables\nSnacks high in sugar, salt and fat can not only trigger heart disease, diabetes and other diseases but can also increase weight. To continue enjoying sweet and fresh foods without adding weight, you can eat papaya, pineapple, grapes, vegetable salad or other fruit and vegetables as alternative snacks. Apart from being able to enjoy delicious fruit and vegetables, you can also get rich benefits such as vitamins and antioxidants\n\n2. Do 30 minutes of physical activity per day\nIt is not necessary to exercise intensely for 30 minutes per day, light exercise such as jogging, sit ups, or going up and down stairs is also sufficient. You can reduce the use of motorized vehicles and replace them with cycling or walking when traveling in the area around the house.\n\n3. Get enough rest\nIt turns out that staying up late can affect weight gain because it increases hormones that can increase appetite and disrupt the body's metabolism. Therefore, as recommended, make sure you sleep 8 – 10 hours every day. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
