What Is Meant By Asthma ?<\/a><\/h3>
What is meant by Asthma? \n \nAsthma is a heterogeneous disease that is usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation that can affect children and adults. Asthma is characterized by shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, expiratory flow disorders that occur due to chronic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (bronchospasm), mucus hypersecretion, and airway remodeling whose symptoms can vary at different times. \n \nThe exact cause of asthma is not yet known. Researchers think some interaction of genetic and environmental factors can cause asthma, most often occurring early in life. \n \nThese factors include: \n• Tendency to develop allergies, called atopy (AT-o-pe) \n• Parents who have asthma \n• Certain respiratory tract infections during childhood (ARI) \n• Contact with some airborne allergens or exposure to some viral infections in infancy or early childhood as the immune system develops \n \nTypical Symptoms and Characteristics of Asthma to Watch Out for \nAsthma is a disease that does not only attack one age group, so it is important to anticipate the possibility of asthma occurring. Asthma is chronic inflammation of the airways that causes narrowing and hyperactivity of the airways. Even though it is one that cannot be cured, asthma must still receive intensive treatment to avoid severe asthma attacks. \n \nThe following are symptoms or characteristics of asthma that people should be aware of, including: \nAsthma Symptoms: \n1. Cough \n2. Shortness of breath \n3. Breathing sounds or wheezing \n4. Chest feels heavy \n \nTypical characteristics of asthma: \n1. Often occurs when there are trigger factors, such as house dust mites, animal dander, weather changes, tiredness or physical exhaustion, reactions to certain medications, and even flower pollen. \n2. Asthma symptoms often worsen at night or early in the morning \n3. Asthma symptoms can recur and in between there are attack-free periods \n4. The symptoms that appear can subside with treatment and sometimes they can subside without treatment or spontaneously. \n \nBy knowing the symptoms and characteristics of asthma in the points above, people who experience asthma can immediately go for an examination to the nearest health facility, to get treatment as early as possible from health workers, so that the potential for severe asthma can be immediately minimized. \n \nHow to Diagnose Asthma \nAsthma is diagnosed based on history, physical examination and supporting examinations. Supporting examinations that can be used to diagnose asthma include: \n1. Spirometry Test. This test is carried out with the aim of measuring lung performance based on air volume and the total amount of air exhaled \n2. Airway provocation test. An airway provocation test is performed to confirm the diagnosis of bronchial hyperreactivity or asthma \n3. Peak flow meter test \n4. Nitric oxide test \n \n \nAsthma Treatment \nBronchial asthma sufferers are advised to regularly use asthma control medication, and avoid a number of asthma trigger factors in order to minimize the occurrence of asthma attacks. The types of asthma control drugs commonly prescribed by doctors for people with bronchial asthma are: \n1. Short Term Asthma Control Medication \nShort-term asthma control drugs are used to relieve acute asthma attacks that appear or recur suddenly. The short-term asthma control drug that is widely used is salbutamol. \n \n2. Long-Term Asthma Control Medication \nMeanwhile, long-term asthma control drugs are usually given to patients with chronic asthma or persistent asthma. The goal of this treatment is to control the severity of symptoms and prevent the risk of recurrence of asthma attacks. \n \nAsthma Prevention \n• Quit smoking \n• Avoid exposure to cigarette smoke, dust, air pollution, irritating odors such as perfume, insect spray, laundry detergent \n• Do not keep animals such as birds, dogs and cats \n• Use synthetic mattresses and pillows or if these are not available, use a cover made from synthetic materials \n• Try not to use carpets in the house/bedroom \n• Dry and fluff the mattress regularly \n\n \nThat's an explanation of bronchial asthma that you need to know. Don't hesitate to consult a doctor if you experience any complaints that could lead to asthma. \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know Cesarean delivery, preparation, procedures and side effects<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friends, the birth method is a caesarean section or cesarean section, also called a caesarean section or SC, which is a surgical delivery process in which the doctor makes an incision in the mother's stomach and uterine wall to remove the baby. Therefore, during the operation the mother will be given spinal anesthesia which is injected into the spine, so that the mother will not feel pain from the waist to the legs. \nHowever, pregnant women who undergo a cesarean section usually need a longer recovery period compared to normal labor (spontaneous labor). In general, caesarean section patients are allowed to go home after 3 to 5 days of hospital treatment until the doctor confirms that the mother's condition is stable. \n\n \n\n The purpose and indication for a caesarean section is as an emergency treatment if it is not possible for the mother to have a normal delivery or if pregnancy complications occur that endanger the lives of the mother and fetus. Usually, the doctor will recommend a cesarean delivery method if there is an infection, such as infection in the uterus, normal delivery fails or does not go well accompanied by heavy bleeding, multiple pregnancies, placenta previa (placenta position is too low), if you experience severe preeclampsia (blood pressure rises high and contains protein in the urine) to eclampsia (seizures). during pregnancy), having had a caesarean section in a previous pregnancy, as well as malpresentation of the fetus in a transverse or breech position, the baby experiencing more than 1 umbilical cord entanglement, this can also be done if the pregnant mother wishes and so on. \n\n \n\n The preparation for Caesarean Operation is as follows: \n- Consult first with an obstetrician/obgyn specialist \n- Carry out a blood test, to find out the blood type and hemoglobin level, so the doctor can make early preparations if the mother needs a blood transfusion during the operation. \n\n \n\n The caesarean section procedure usually takes between 40 and 60 minutes. Here are some of the procedures, including: \n- The first step after the patient enters the operating room, the doctor will perform spinal anesthesia which aims to numb the lower body. So, during the operation process, the pregnant woman will be conscious, but will not feel pain during the cesarean section procedure. \n\n - Then the labor process will begin by making a horizontal incision in the abdominal wall near the hairline of the pubic area. The doctor can also make a vertical incision below the navel to above the pubic bone. Usually, the type of incision is adjusted to the final position of the fetus in the womb. The doctor will also see if there are any complications in the pregnancy such as premature birth or placentprevia. \n- Then the doctor will take the baby from the patient's womb and will clean the fluid from the baby's mouth and nose then cut the umbilical cord. The final process of a caesarean section is to ensure that there are no bleeding points in the mother's body, and then closing the incision. \n\n \n\n The following are some side effects that can occur in mothers after a cesarean section, namely: \n- Experiencing bleeding in the surgical area \n- Experiencing allergic reactions to drugs, such as nausea and itching \n- Suffered from surgical injuries \n- Infection occurs in the surgical wound \n- The presence of blood clots in the uterus or abdominal cavity \n- Subsequent pregnancy disorders occur, such as adhesions in the uterus or abdominal cavity \n- Have an increased risk of uterine rupture \n\n \n\n So Friends of Hermina, if you want to know more information about the cesarean section delivery method or need complete pregnancy, delivery and post-natal services, you can immediately visit Hermina Solo Hospital and consult immediately with our Obstetrician/Obgyn Specialist. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Optimal Growth and Development With Exclusive Breast Milk<\/a><\/h3>
Exclusive Breast Milk, hereinafter referred to as Exclusive Breast Milk, is breast milk that is given to babies from birth until they are 6 (six) months old, without adding or replacing it with other food or drinks, including water, except for administering medicines and vitamins. Breast milk contains complete nutrients that children need to grow and develop optimally. Exclusive breastfeeding can also prevent children from suffering from diseases caused by formula milk, such as cow's milk allergies, lactose intolerance and diarrhea due to unhygienic preparation for giving formula milk. \nThe condition that stunting will occur in children can occur if exclusive breastfeeding is not optimal and complementary breastfeeding is provided inappropriately. Inaccurate in terms of initial administration (too early or too late), texture, amount or quantity, nutritional content, and variety. \n\n \n\n The following are the benefits of breast milk for children, including : \n\n \n1. Fulfillment of nutrition for optimal growth and development because breast milk contains complete nutrients according to the baby's needs, is easily absorbed and digested \n2. Prevent infection because breast milk contains immunoglobulin A \n3. Prevent allergies (cow's milk allergy) especially in babies born to parents who have a history of allergies (atopy) \n4. There is bonding between mother and baby which is very good for the baby's development, self-confidence, child's obedience to their parents (mother), and so on \n\n \n\n The nutritional content in breast milk is as follows: \n- Anti-infection: secretory IgA \n- Protein in the right amount and easy to digest contains more WHEY protein than CASEIN \n- Carbohydrate: lactose \n- Fat: contains sufficient amounts of essential fatty acids, namely AA and DHA, and the enzyme lipase to digest fat \n- Iron: in smaller amounts than formula milk, but more easily absorbed \n- Contains sufficient amounts of vitamins A, B and C \n- Contains enough water \n\n \n\n Breast milk has a big influence on a child's growth because the macronutrient content of breast milk (carbohydrates, protein and fat) is very easily absorbed compared to formula milk, so the weight gain in children who get exclusive breast milk is greater than children who get milk formula. \n\n Breast milk also affects children's development, because the AA, DHA and iron content in breast milk are more easily absorbed than those in formula milk. These micronutrients are really needed for the development of nerve cells, myelination and nerve complexity so that children become intelligent and their development becomes optimal. \n\n Then the bonding that occurs between mother and breastfed baby causes the child to become a confident and happy person so he dares to try new things. This also causes neural complexity to increase so that children will become intelligent. \n\n If Hermina Friends have complaints and want to consult regarding lactation, let's immediately consult a Pediatrician at RSU Hermina Solo. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Balanced Nutrition in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's Friend Balanced nutrition for early childhood is very necessary. Therefore, parents must fulfill a balanced nutritional intake. Balanced nutrition is a daily diet that contains nutrients in types and quantities that suit the body's needs, taking into account the principles of food diversity or variety, physical activity, cleanliness and ideal body weight. So, to provide balanced nutritional intake for children, an active role is needed for parents, especially mothers, to pay attention to children's nutritional intake. As is the case with giving children a variety of foods, which are high in protein and vegetables. \n\n \n\n Fulfilling balanced nutrition means consuming food that contains nutrients in types and quantities that suit the body's needs. It is also necessary to pay attention to the quantity and quality of the food consumed, because it can affect the level of individual health, especially in children. Optimal nutrition is very important for normal growth as well as physical and intelligent development in children. Because, if a child experiences malnutrition, it can result in delayed growth in the child so that he or she becomes easily infected, and ultimately can hinder the child's development. \n\n \n\n The principles of balanced nutrition for early childhood include : \n- Eat healthy food, at every meal on your little one's plate it is recommended to provide staple foods as a source of carbohydrates (rice or potatoes), side dishes as a source of protein (fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, nuts), vegetables as a source of minerals. and fiber (spinach, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, etc.), and fruit as a source of vitamins (oranges, apples, bananas, etc.). \n- Consume enough oil and salt, and pay attention to children's daily sugar consumption. \n- Implement clean and healthy living habits (PHBS), for example when sneezing and coughing, covering your mouth and nose, washing your hands with soap and clean water, cleaning your living area, keeping your environment clean, and not eating food that has been dropped, and so on. \n- Doing physical activities, such as light exercise, playing, and learning to do housework, such as sweeping, watering plants, and so on. \n- Regularly weigh the child's weight. \n\n \n\n As a parent, you need to know that the nutrition needed by young children is not the same as that of adults, children need nutrition in quantity and quality that is appropriate to their age and stage of growth and development. This is because preschool children are still in the growth and development phase. If Friends of Hermina want a consultation regarding balanced nutrition for children, immediately consult a Nutrition Specialist at RSU Hermina Solo. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognizing Phimosis or Phimosis in Children<\/a><\/h3>
In general, phimosis is a normal condition in children. The definition of phimosis or phimosis is an abnormality in the structure of the penis which is characterized by the foreskin of the penis not being completely separated from the head of the penis. This condition is what the general public calls children who have not been circumcised, especially children under 3 years of age. After that, the foreskin will loosen by itself so that it can be moved or pulled behind the head of the penis. In fact, the foreskin will fall off by itself as the child gets older. But don't try to remove it yourself because there is a risk of causing a disorder called paraphimosis. However, in many cases, phimosis can cause blockage and inflammation of the penis. \n\n \n\n Phimosis has the risk of causing balanitis which can be characterized by symptoms, including: \n- Feeling pain when urinating \n- Removes thick fluid from the foreskin \n- There is blood in the urine \n- There is a white line around the head of the penis \n- The head of the penis is red and swollen and the head of the penis feels sore \n- Feeling pain in the lower pelvis \n\n \n\n If symptoms appear that need to be alerted, immediately consult a doctor. When consulting a doctor, the doctor will ask about the symptoms you are experiencing and continue with a physical examination, especially of the penis. After that, the doctor will determine the treatment steps to be undertaken, without requiring supporting examinations. The type of treatment given by the doctor will be adjusted to the age and level of severity experienced by the patient. Medical treatment can also be done by applying corticosteroid drugs and undergoing a circumcision or circumcision procedure. \n\n \n\n The steps to prevent phimosis are: \n• Clean the penis using clean water slowly and dry the penis regularly to prevent infection of the penis. \n• Also avoid using ingredients that can cause irritation to vital organ areas, such as soap, perfume and deodorant. \n• Undergo circumcision or circumcision procedures early. \n\n \n\n If your little one experiences similar symptoms, you can immediately consult a specialist surgeon at Hermina Solo Hospital so that you can get the right treatment according to your child's condition. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it true that eating fried foods can trigger tonsillitis?<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friend, who doesn't like eating fried food? Almost everyone likes to eat fried food. But is it true that eating fried food can trigger tonsillitis or tonsillitis? \n\n \nTonsillitis or tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils in the roof of the mouth in the Waldeyer ring, and is usually caused by the Epstein Barr virus. The infection spreads through the air (droplets) through hands and kissing. Tonsillitis can be classified based on the time it occurs, namely acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils caused by a bacterial or viral infection that occurs within 3 weeks. Chronic tonsillitis is a condition characterized by enlarged tonsils accompanied by repeated episodes of infection (Nizar, Qamariah, & Muthmainnah, 2016). \n\n \n\n Causes and Symptoms of Tonsillitis or Tonsillitis \nInflammation of the tonsils is caused by bacteria, accompanied by symptoms of sore throat and increased body temperature. The throat will feel sore so that the sufferer finds it difficult to swallow and is generally weak. The tonsils appear red and swollen and the crypts are usually covered by a fibrous or purulent layer, which appears as white dots or white lines. The neck glands are usually enlarged so that they feel painful (P. Van den Broek, L. Feenstra. Debruyne, F. Marres, 2011). \nPrevalence of Cases of Tonsillitis or Tonsillitis \nWHO estimates that 287,000 children under the age of 15 years have tonsillitis, of which 248,000 (86.4%) will undergo tonsil removal and another 39,000 children (13.6%) will only undergo tonsillectomy (Ramadhan, Sahrudin and Ibrahim). , 2017). \nMeanwhile, based on epidemiological data on ENT diseases in 7 Indonesian provinces in September 2012, the highest incidence of chronic tonsillitis after acute rhinosinusitis was 3.8% during the 2012-2013 period. In Indonesia, the number of outpatient visits for tonsillitis is ± 55,383 people, while the number of inpatients for tonsillitis is ± 37,835 people. (Ramadhan et al., 2017) \n\n \n\n Several factors trigger the occurrence of tonsillitis \n1. Age \nAge is one of the factors in the occurrence of tonsillitis because the function of the tonsils will increase at the age of 3 years, then decrease and will increase again at the age of 10 years, then the size of the enlarged tonsils will increase again at the age of 11-20 years and then will decrease in line with increasing age. age, so that children are more susceptible to infection. \n2. Habit of consuming foods containing MSG \nMSG is a salt form of glutamic acid, which is also a food additive that is often used by Indonesians as a flavor enhancer. The use of high doses of glutamate is associated with various neuroendocrine and immune system disorders. Glutamate receptors play an important role in the pathogenesis of MSG-induced disorders. T lymphocytes can express several types of glutamate receptors that control the immune response, activation, maturation, and apoptosis or cell death. MSG also causes endothelial injury which causes a lack of absorption of blood cells and platelets, decreased circulation and thrombus formation (Siregar, 2019). Consuming excessive amounts of MSG can cause symptoms of itching and pain in the throat (Wahyuni & Yuliawati, 2017). \n3. Habit of consuming oily food \nApart from consuming foods that contain flavorings, continuously consuming oily foods can also cause symptoms of tonsillitis. The quality of cooking oil is determined by the smoke point, namely the heating temperature of the oil until unwanted acrolein is formed, this acrolein can cause an itchy feeling in the throat (Mita, 2017) \n4. Drinking too much cold water \nConsuming too much cold water can also trigger inflammation of the tonsils, because cold water can stimulate and stretch the epithelial cells in the tonsils so that over time it will cause tonsil hypertrophy (Wahyuni & Yuliawati, 2017). Cold drinks can also cause vasoconstriction so that blood vessels shrink and the number of white blood cells decreases, thus making the tonsil immune work harder (Sari, Yuli Kusumawati, & Ambarwati, 2014). \n\n \n\n From the explanation above, it can be concluded that the habit of consuming oily foods such as fried foods can be a trigger for Tonsillitis or Tonsillitis.

Urine Retention in Postpartum Mothers<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friends, in general during pregnancy you experience frequent urination. However, one or two days after giving birth, experiencing this for more than 6 hours can cause stress on the bladder, leaving long-term effects so that the condition is called urinary retention. Severe urinary retention after delivery can cause complications such as persistent bladder distension, uremia, and sepsis, which can lead to death. Postpartum urinary retention is still not understood and has varying mechanisms. Symptoms that can accompany urinary retention apart from difficulty urinating include straining when urinating, experiencing discomfort in the pubic area and a feeling of fullness in the pubic bone. \n\n \n\n Here are some things you can do if you have difficulty urinating after giving birth, namely: \n\n • Drinking plenty of fluids can help to reach the fluid capacity needed to induce the urge to urinate. In addition, drinking enough fluids can also help to overcome postpartum constipation. \n\n • Try to walk as soon as possible, so that gravity and activity can help the body's systems return to normal. \n\n • Ask for help from the family to the bathroom to keep watch waiting outside the bathroom. \n\n • If you can't go to the bathroom and have to use a bedpan to urinate, try using it while sitting, and don't hesitate to ask the nurse to warm it up first (if being treated in hospital). \n\n • Compressing the perineal area aims not to feel pain when urinating. \n\n • Warm or cold temperatures can cause the urge to urinate. Try submerging your lower body into warm water or using ice packs. \n\n • Even though it sounds like doing something impossible or ridiculous, you can try turning on the tap water when you want to urinate. \n\n \n\n If this has been going on for a long time, and is interfering with the activities of Sahabat Hermina, we suggest that you immediately consult directly with the Obstetrician/Gynecology Specialist at RSU Hermina Solo. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
