Hello friend Hermina, the risk factors for stroke at a young age have increased, stroke is synonymous with the disease of older people.

The Importance of Obstetrical Examination During Pregnancy For Maternal and Fetal Health<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, during pregnancy checking your womb with a doctor is something that pregnant women must do. Apart from ensuring the health of the fetus in the womb, Hermina's friends can also find out about the mother's health during pregnancy. So it can prevent bad things for the mother and the future baby. \n\n When is the Right Time to Check the Ingredients? \n\n \n\n • First trimester \n\n The beginning of pregnancy or the 1st trimester is the right time for pregnant women to check their womb after doing a home pregnancy test. By doing an ultrasound at the beginning of pregnancy, Hermina's friends can find out the gestational age and also the position of the pregnancy, whether inside or outside the womb. The first 8 to 12 weeks is the best time to determine the actual age of pregnancy, especially for pregnant women whose menstrual cycles are irregular. \n\n \n\n • Second trimester \n\n Pregnant women are advised to carry out pregnancy control according to the schedule given by the doctor. This is to prevent problems in pregnancy so that they can be treated early. By regularly carrying out obstetric examinations, Hermina's friends can find out the development of the fetus from the first month until birth. 5 months of age is the ideal time to examine the baby's internal organs, because if it is too big or too late in pregnancy, it will be difficult for doctors to evaluate any abnormalities that may be present in the fetus. \n\n \n\n • 3rd trimester \n\n After entering the 3rd trimester, obstetric examinations will be carried out more frequently, namely once every 2 weeks, apart from evaluating the position of the fetus, examinations include the growth of the fetus' weight and also the condition of the amniotic fluid and placenta. Entering 36 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women are advised to have their pregnancy checked once every week until the day they are born approaches. The examination includes fetal position, estimated fetal weight and also an examination of the mother's pelvis. Try not to give birth later than the expected birth date which is determined from the start of pregnancy or in the first trimester of pregnancy \n\n \n\n What are the consequences of not checking your womb during pregnancy? \n\n \n\n • Not knowing the danger signs of pregnancy \n\n Nausea and vomiting are normal, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. However, excessive nausea and vomiting can cause malnutrition, dehydration, and threaten the lives of the fetus and mother. Apart from that, bleeding in early pregnancy is also a danger sign in early pregnancy. \n\n During pregnancy, bleeding and premature rupture of membranes are danger signs that pregnant women must know. Therefore, it is very important to know how to prevent and follow up if this condition is discovered \n\n \n\n • Not aware of pregnancy complications \n\n The mother's medical history before pregnancy can be a determining factor in the physical condition of the pregnant woman. Due to pregnancy complications, babies born may be premature or low birth weight (LBW) babies. Various conditions that pose a risk of endangering the baby or mother who is about to give birth are anemia, preeclampsia, placenta previa, diabetes mellitus, multiple/twin pregnancies, a history of caesarean section, as well as infectious diseases such as Hepatitis, Syphilis, or HIV, and others. \n\n \n\n • Not knowing the actual gestational age \n\n Very often pregnant women come after their pregnancy has entered the delivery period, this will make it difficult for medical personnel to estimate the actual gestational age. Especially if you get a baby that tends to be small, whether it is small because the pregnancy is still young or because the growth of the fetus is stunted. \n\n \n\n Control your pregnancy during pregnancy at Hermina Bitung Hospital with a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Alfonso Anggriawan, SpOG \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

7 Diseases that Often Attack Children<\/a><\/h3>
Hello friend Hermina, sick children make mothers panic, but illness in children is considered normal because the immune system is not yet fully developed, so it is susceptible to infection with viruses and bacteria.

Close Viewing Eyes Getting Tired? It's common to be farsighted, recognize the symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
Hello friend Hermina, farsightedness or hypermetropia is a vision disorder where vision is blurry or unclear at close range. Farsighted sufferers generally have no problem seeing long distances. This disorder can be experienced by all ages, including children. Young people often do not realize that hypermetropia exists, this is because the natural lens in the eye is still flexible so it can easily adjust focus as needed. \n\n What are the causes of nearsightedness? \n\n Friends of Hermina Bitung, what can cause nearsightedness? Hypermetropia is caused by the natural shape of the eyeball. Hypermetropia sufferers usually have a shorter eyeball length. Another cause could be the lower focusing power of the cornea and/or lens, resulting in improper focus on the retina. Focus will fall behind the retina, causing vision to become blurry. \n\n What are the symptoms of nearsightedness? \n\n Friends of Hermina, the following are the symptoms experienced by nearsighted sufferers: \n\n • Blurred when looking up close but clearer when looking at distant objects. \n\n • Eye fatigue \n\n • Headache \n\n • Eyes often water. \n\n • Pain around the eyes. \n\n • General discomfort in the eyes, may be accompanied by headache or dizziness. \n\n What about nearsightedness in old age? \n\n Difficulty seeing up close as you get older is called presbyopia. In contrast to hypermetropia, presbyopia is caused by reduced elasticity of the lens to accommodate or change its shape in order to focus the image. On average, presbyopia begins to be felt around the age of 40. \n\n What are the symptoms of presbyopia? \n\n Hermina's friends, the symptoms we feel when we start experiencing presbyopia include: \n\n • Difficulty reading and doing close work, especially in poor lighting. \n\n • Eye strain or blurred vision when working on a computer. \n\n • Headaches, migraines, and fatigue may be common. \n\n • You need to hold the reading paper or screen further away than usual. \n\n • You have blurred vision at a reasonable reading distance. \n\n \n\n Hermina's friends, you cannot prevent farsightedness and presbyopia, but there are several things that Hermina's friends can do to reduce or protect the eyes, such as: \n\n • Consume foods with complete nutrition and sufficient vitamin A \n\n • Use sufficient lighting when reading or doing activities at close range. \n\n If there are signs of nearsightedness, immediately consult the Hermina Bitung Hospital with an eye specialist, Dr. Nisa El Zahra, SpM \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Increased stomach acid or stomach acid disease can be experienced by adults or children. Symptoms of stomach disease are often thought to be a heart attack or coronary heart disease, because the symptoms are almost similar to chest pain. Symptoms of stomach acid appear at least twice a week. \n\n \n\n What are the symptoms of stomach acid? \n\n Gastric ulcer/GERD has general symptoms that are similar to stomach ulcers. Even though it has general symptoms that are similar to ulcers, Hermina's friends need to be aware of the symptoms of GERD if the complaint has caused these symptoms: \n\n • Feeling a burning sensation in the chest which sometimes spreads to the throat \n\n • A burning sensation that worsens after eating or lying down can also make symptoms worse \n\n • This sensation is also accompanied by a bitter and sour taste in the mouth \n\n • Pain in the throat and voice becomes hoarse \n\n • Difficulty breathing to the point of nausea \n\n • Persistent bad breath or dry cough \n\n \n\n So Hermina Friends, a healthy lifestyle can also help overcome stomach acid. For Hermina Friends who have stomach acid complaints, let's follow this method: \n\n 1. Lose Weight \n\n Obesity is the main cause of GERD, a chronic stomach acid disease. Excess belly fat can put pressure on the stomach, thereby pushing gastric juices up into the esophagus. Therefore, you may need to lose weight if you are overweight. Lose weight by eating healthy and exercising. \n\n 2. Avoid foods that trigger reflux \n\n There are many foods that easily trigger acid reflux. If you suffer from stomach acid disease, you should avoid the following types of food: \n\n • Fatty foods. \n\n • Spicy food. \n\n • Acidic foods, such as tomatoes and oranges. \n\n • Coffee or caffeinated drinks. \n\n • Carbonated drinks. \n\n The foods and drinks above have been proven to trigger acid reflux. Therefore, reduce or avoid consumption altogether. \n\n • Eat Small Portions \n\n Eating small portions is very good for dealing with stomach acid because eating large portions at once can put pressure on the muscles of the lower esophagus which can then trigger acid reflux. \n\n • Quit smoking \n\n Some studies have found that nicotine can relax the muscles of the lower esophagus and can also interfere with saliva's ability to clear acid from the esophagus. \n\n • Avoid sleeping before eating \n\n People with stomach acid are advised to avoid eating at least two-three hours before bed. \n\n \n\n If there are signs of stomach acid symptoms that need to be watched out for, please consult Hermina Bitung Hospital with a specialist in internal diseases, Dr. Lingga Ramot Gumelar, SpPD \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
