Habits that can Damage the Kidneys<\/a><\/h3>
Kidneys in humans function to detoxify the blood and help the body filter waste through urine. The kidneys also function to remove excess water in the body, and retain it when needed. \n\n \n\n Kidneys also help regulate blood pressure because they produce hormones that work in the production of red blood cells which carry important nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. \n\n \n\n Common symptoms of kidney damage: \n\n - Changes in the quantity and color of urine \n\n This is because the kidneys are damaged so they cannot break down protein and cause protein levels in the urine to increase \n\n - Nausea and Vomiting \n\n Nausea and vomiting can be triggered by kidney stones that settle in the ureters which prevent urine from coming out, resulting in swelling and pain in the stomach which encourages vomiting. \n\n - Dizzy \n\n Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause dizziness \n\n - Anemia \n\n Anemia occurs due to kidney damage which causes red blood cell production to be hampered \n\n - Fatigue \n\n Low production of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) causes the brain and muscles to lack red blood cells that carry oxygen \n\n - Bad breath \n\n Because uremia occurs, it causes bad breath. \n\n - Often cold \n\n Unstable changes in body temperature can cause fever. Hot and cold feeling \n\n - Pain that appears suddenly \n\n - Itching \n\n Itching occurs due to waste buildup in the blood or uremia. \n\n \n\n Habits that can cause kidney damage: \n\n - Delay the urge to urinate. \n\n - Insufficient water intake can cause the body to lack water \n\n - High salt intake causes increased urine protein \n\n - Consumption of analgesics \n\n - Excessive protein intake \n\n - Alcohol consumption \n\n - Smoking \n\n - Consuming too much caffeine \n\n - Ignoring common infections \n\n - Lack of sleep \n\n \n\n Kidney damage not only occurs in adults, but in children too. It is important to understand food and drink intake so that our kidneys stay healthy. One of the most basic steps in preventing kidney failure is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly to help improve blood circulation, control blood pressure, and reduce risk factors for diseases that can cause kidney damage. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Intestinal Obstruction in Children<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Intestinal obstruction is a blockage in the intestine, which can occur in the small intestine, large intestine or duodenum. This can happen to children and adults, but 1:2000 newborn babies experience this incident. Blockages in the intestines can cause a buildup of food, fluids, stomach acid, or gas. Intestinal obstruction in babies is very dangerous and life-threatening. \n\n \n\n Causes of intestinal obstruction: \n\n - Twisted intestine \n\n - Folded intestine \n\n - Structural abnormalities of the intestine \n\n - Colitis \n\n - Hernia \n\n - Colon cancer \n\n - Accumulation of feces \n\n \n\n Most cases of intestinal obstruction in babies are caused by intussusception. The most obvious sign is that the child suddenly cries loudly due to stomach pain. This is because the intestine has a long, tube-like shape. Some other accompanying symptoms are: \n\n - Nauseous \n\n - Greenish yellow vomiting \n\n - Fever \n\n - Diarrhea \n\n - Weak \n\n - Lump or swelling in the stomach \n\n - BAB contains blood or mucus \n\n - The stool is red and lumpy like jelly \n\n \n\n Intussusception is a condition where the intestine folds and intrudes into the part of the intestine next to it. Usually occurs in babies or children aged less than 3 years. Intussusception is a medical emergency that requires emergency treatment to avoid excessive vomiting which can cause dehydration, loss of electrolytes, shock and infection. \n\n \n\n Blockages that occur in the intestines cause pressure on the intestines, and when the pressure gets greater the intestines can tear and release their contents into the abdominal cavity, including releasing bacteria. \n\n \n\n Procedures for treating intestinal obstruction include: \n\n - Giving fluids through an IV, this is done to prevent dehydration \n\n - Inserting a tube into the intestine by inserting a catheter into the stomach through the nose, the aim is to reduce pressure in the intestine \n\n - Surgery/operation \n\n \n\n A suitable lifestyle for children with intestinal obstruction \n\n - Drink lots of water \n\n - Give food that is easy to digest and liquid such as soup, porridge \n\n - Low fiber diet, without grains and nuts \n\n \n\n Obstruction can not only occur in the intestine, obstruction can occur anywhere in the digestive tract such as: \n\n - Esophagus \n\n - Stomach \n\n - anal \n\n \n\n It is important for parents to be alert when their children experience symptoms like those we have mentioned above.

Complementary Breast Milk (MP-ASI) Food Menu Rich in Animal Protein: Key to Stunting Prevention and the Future of the Golden Generation<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n “Why does it have to be animal protein? Does animal protein have better benefits than vegetable protein?” This question often arises in connection with massive outreach regarding guidelines for providing MP-ASI (Complementary Foods for Breast Milk) to prevent stunting. In terms of nutritional composition, protein from animal sources has complete essential amino acids compared to vegetable protein. Essential amino acids are protein-forming substances that are important for the body but the body cannot make itself. Another advantage of animal protein compared to vegetable protein is that it is easier to digest and absorbed by the digestive system. \n\n \n\n With the advantages mentioned above, the presence of animal side dishes in MP-ASI as a source of animal protein plays an important role in children's growth and development. Apart from that, animal side dishes are also a food source of important micronutrients needed such as iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and others. Specifically, animal protein and various important micronutrients in animal side dishes will support the development of brain cells, the growth of bone cells and the formation of immune cells and maintain overall body health. \n\n \n\n To meet the criteria for proper and quality MP-ASI, there are at least 2 aspects that must be met, based on WHO recommendations, these 2 aspects are related to quality and quantity. In terms of quality or what is known asMinimal Dietary Diversity, fulfill at least 4 of the 7 food categories that must be included in every meal. What are the 4 of 7? \n\n \n Meat. \n Grains. \n Milk or dairy products. \n Cereals or other sources of carbohydrates. \n Counts. \n Fruit. \n Vegetables. \n \n\n Meanwhile, in terms of quantity or what is known asMinimal Meal Frequency, The minimum number of portions that need to be applied gradually to babies starting MP-ASI is as follows: \n\n \n 6-9 months, 70% breast milk and 30% MP-ASI. \n 9-11 months, 50% breast milk and 50% MP-ASI. \n 12-24 months, 20% breast milk and 80% MP-ASI. \n \n\n Babies aged 6-9 months need 15 grams of protein, or the equivalent of 2 pieces of animal side dishes in a serving of MP-ASI per day. Then, aged 12-24 months, 20 grams of protein is needed or the equivalent of 3 pieces of animal side dishes. It should be remembered that in children aged 6 months - 2 years animal protein occupies 30% of the total daily energy required. \n\n \n\n The way to process animal side dishes so as not to reduce the quality or quantity of their nutritional content is that it is not recommended to do too much processing, such as boiling then frying, then reheating or something similar. The longer the cooking process, the more likely it is to reduce the nutritional value contained. \n\n \n\n Food sources of animal protein that are suitable for local food for MP-ASI that are affordable but of course still high quality can be in the form of: \n\n \n Sea fish (milkfish, mackerel, flying fish, etc.), shrimp, crab. \n Freshwater fish (catfish, snakehead fish, catfish, eels, etc.). \n Red meat (beef, goat, lamb). \n White meat (chicken, duck). \n Eggs (chicken, duck, quail). \n Offal (liver, gizzard, kidney, heart, brain, intestines). \n Chicken feet \n \n\n The phase when a baby is given MP-ASI is a process of learning to eat, so that when there are several obstacles, parents need to enjoy the whole process more patiently, because apart from aiming to provide nutrition and training their little one's ability to eat, MP-ASI also aims to form a close relationship with the baby. parent. Let's create a golden generation together. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Indonesia Again Faces Polio Outbreak: Get to Know the New Vaccine in the National Immunization Program<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, in the last few days, the world of children's health has been shocked again by the presence of 3 confirmed positive cases of polio, 2 cases in Central Java and 1 case in East Java, so it was declared a Polio outbreak again after the outbreak in Aceh in 2022. The child is known to have been immunized against Polio but was incomplete and the child was fully immunized against Polio but was malnourished. The World Health Organization or WHO classifies Polio disease in Indonesia asDiseases Outbreak News (DONs) or disease outbreaks that need to be watched out for. \n\n In mid-2023, the Ministry of Health introduced a new type of vaccine which was added to the national immunization program which the government is starting to implement. There are 4 types of new vaccines, including the Conjugated Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV) which will provide effective protection to prevent pneumonia (lung inflammation) caused by pneumococcal bacteria and is also expected to be an effort to prevent stunting, the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, Rotavirus vaccine (RV) to protect children from diarrhea attacks caused by rotavirus, and a second dose of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) vaccine to strengthen children's protection from Polio. \n\n IPV immunization itself functions to protect a person from polio virus infection. The second dose of IPV immunization will begin to be given in 2022 in 3 provinces, namely DKI Jakarta, West Java and Banten. And in 2023 it will be expanded nationally. According to the Ministry of Health's guidelines, IPV is given twice, the first dose is given at the age of 4 months and the second dose is given at the age of 9 months. Considering that in the last few days the Polio outbreak has occurred, it is very important to pay attention to the type of vaccine and the latest immunization schedule that must be fulfilled according to government recommendations. \n\n Other immunizations such as PCV and HPV are also carried out in stages. In Indonesia, around 14.5% of deaths in babies and 5% of deaths in toddlers every year are due to pneumonia. For this reason, PCV immunization will begin to be included in the national program starting in 2022, given twice when children are 2 and 4 months old and once when children are 12-24 months old. HPV immunization has also been given to elementary school students in grades 5 and 6 and in 2023 it will be introduced as a national program. \n\n Furthermore, the last immunization included in the national program is rotavirus immunization which functions to prevent diarrhea in children. To provide high and even protection, it is recommended to give it 3 times, namely when the baby is 2, 3 and 4 months old. Giving the vaccination itself is easier, namely via mouth drops, not by injection. \n\n In accordance with Health Law Number 36 of 2009 which states that every child has the right to receive immunization in accordance with the provisions to prevent the occurrence of diseases that can be avoided through immunization. \n\n So, we have high hopes for all parents to try to provide support to their children in scheduling complete routine immunizations according to the provisions. Thus, coverage of complete routine immunization can increase so that the goal of immunization, namely the formation of individual immunity, group immunity and cross-group immunity, can be achieved. Stay healthy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Commemorating Mother's Day, let's take care of the health of our reproductive organs!<\/a><\/h3>
On December 22 every year, Mother's Day is celebrated. The history of celebrating Mother's Day is marked by Indonesian women fighters holding a Women's Congress. In 1938, the III Women's Congress decided that every December 22 would be celebrated as Mother's Day and it was inaugurated after the enactment of Presidential Decree Number 316 of 1959 by President Soekarno. \n\n As a woman, you will definitely one day become a mother. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the health of reproductive organs because it is related to the continuity of human life from generation to generation. \n\n Reproductive health is not only related to physical, but psychological, mental and social. A person's good understanding of reproductive health can prevent a person from diseases that can arise, such as sexually transmitted infections and prevent infertility. \n\n In general, the way to protect female reproductive organs is to keep the feminine area moist, wear underwear that easily absorbs sweat, diligently change underwear and sanitary napkins during menstruation, and wash hands before and after washing female organs. \n\n For women or mothers who are sexually active, when they are about to have sexual intercourse, it is advisable to urinate and defecate. Unmarried women are expected not to have sexual relations first, not change partners, use contraception, and be open to each other. \n\n The female reproductive organs consist of: \n1.Fallopian tubes \nThe pathway connecting the ovaries and uterus functions to move egg cells \n2.Ovaries \nGlands that function to produce egg cells, the hormone progesterone, and the hormone estrogen. \n3. Vagina \nThe connecting pathway between the cervix and the outside of the body. The vagina is also the way out for the baby at birth. \n4. Womb \nThe place where the fetus develops during pregnancy. \n\n Hermina's friends, it is very important for women and men to maintain reproductive health because the reproductive organs are one of a person's important assets in the future. \n\n Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in Indonesia. Mother is a figure full of gentleness and wisdom. May you always be given health and strength to build a better future. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

December 1, Commemorating World AIDS Day, do you know about HIV AIDS?<\/a><\/h3>
Every December 1, 2023, the whole world commemorates AIDS Day. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that damages a person's immune system by infecting and destroying CD4 cells. The more CD4 cells are destroyed, the weaker a person's immune system will be, making them susceptible to various diseases. \n\n If HIV is not treated quickly, it will become AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. At this stage, the body's ability to fight infection has been completely lost. \n\n HIV transmission occurs when people come into contact with a patient's body fluids, such as blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, anal fluids, and breast milk. HIV is not transmitted through air, sweat, tears, saliva, mosquito bites, or physical touch. \n\n In 2020, according to Ministry of Health estimates, the number of PLHIV in 2020 will be 543,100. Lower than estimates in 2016. HIV prevalence in Indonesia varies widely, 25.8 percent among men who have sex with men, 28.8% injecting drug users, 24.8% of the transgender population, and 5 .3% of female sex workers. Based on data from the Ministry of Health, the increase in HIV cases in Indonesia is increasing by 5,100 cases every year. This high rate of transmission is due to low knowledge of prevention and the impact of the disease as well as having partners with risky sexual behavior \n\n HIV in Indonesia has been going on for more than three decades and is concentrated in 4 key populations, namely men who have sex with men (MSM), waria (transgender), female sex workers (PSP) and injecting drug users (IDUs). Various efforts to prevent and control HIV in Indonesia are carried out by the government and society with the support of funding from the government, regional governments and international cooperation. \n\n What are the stages of HIV? \nA person with HIV who does not receive treatment will experience three phases. However, HIV treatment can slow or prevent the progression of the disease, with technological advances in HIV treatment, progression to phase 3, namely AIDS, now occurs less frequently than in the early years of HIV. \n1. First phase (Acute HIV infection) \n- A person has a very high HIV content in their blood and is very contagious \n- Like flu symptoms \n- If you have flu symptoms and think you are infected with HIV, get tested immediately. \n2. Second phase (chronic HIV infection) \n- At this stage HIV infection is asymptomatic \n- HIV is still active and continues to grow in the body \n- In this phase, a person is usually not sick but can transmit the HIV virus \n- Someone whose treatment is not as prescribed may not reach the next stage, namely AIDS. \n3. Third phase (AIDS) \n- The most severe stage of HIV \n- Easily infects other people \n- His immune system is seriously damaged \n- Without HIV treatment, people with AIDS usually survive for about three years \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Commemorating World Diabetes Day, what is diabetes and its types ?<\/a><\/h3>
November 14 is always celebrated as World Diabetes Day. This warning is an initiation from WHO (World Health Organization) and IDF (International Diabetes Foundation). \n\n The purpose of celebrating this day is to express concern about diabetes cases which increase every year. Diabetes is a disease that occurs due to a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin not working properly, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that functions to digest sugar in the blood. \n\n Diabetes is one of the highest causes of death in Indonesia, after stroke and heart disease. Indonesia is ranked fifth as the country with the highest number of diabetes sufferers in the world. \n\n Types of Diabetes: \n1. Diabetes mellitus type 1 \nThis type of diabetes is a genetic disease, namely a disease that damages beta cells which function to produce insulin. \n2. Diabetes mellitus type 2 \nIn this disease, there is no insulin damage, but the body's sensitivity in responding to blood sugar levels decreases so that it is not optimal. \n3.Gestational Diabetes \nThis disease usually attacks pregnant women in the 24th week. Even though it can heal on its own, if it is not handled properly it will increase the risk of the baby being born prematurely, the baby being overweight, and the baby being born with low blood pressure or hypoglycemia. \n\n Diabetes is a disease that appears with symptoms. Although sometimes someone doesn't realize it and only finds out after checking their blood sugar. The following are signs of excess blood sugar: \n- Often feel tired even though you are not doing excessive activity \n- Often feel thirsty even though you have drunk enough water \n- Unexplained weight loss \n- often feel hungry \n- When you have a wound it is difficult to heal \n- blurred vision \n- frequent urination \n- Frequent infections, including the skin, gums and intimate organs \n\n Hermina's friend, diabetes treatment takes a long time and requires patience. A person suffering from diabetes is required to carry out the 5 pillars of diabetes treatment, namely education, diet management, exercise, medication consumption and blood sugar monitoring. Perform regular medical check-ups as a way to prevent diabetes. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Causes and Symptoms of Cataract ?<\/a><\/h3>
Cataract is an eye disease caused by damage to lens proteins, causing the lens to become blurry. Damage to this lens protein can be triggered by several factors, including degeneration due to aging; triggered by other diseases, either in the eyes or in the body; trauma and congenital or birth defects. Even though cataract blindness is reversible, if not treated properly, cataracts can cause blindness. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nFig 1. Anatomy of the eyeball. Fig 2. Whitish color on the eye beads. \n\n \nAccording to the World Report on Vision in 2019, it is estimated that globally approximately 2.2 billion people have vision problems. The visual impairment or blindness that occurs in 1 billion people can actually be prevented. Meanwhile in Indonesia, based on national data from the Ministry of Health's 2014 - 2016 Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) Blindness Survey, targeting a population aged 50 years and over, it is known that the blindness rate reached 3% and cataracts were the highest cause of blindness (81%). \n\n Various early symptoms that can be an indication that someone is suffering from cataracts: \n1. Blurred vision when looking at objects or reading writing \n2. Sensitive to light rays \n3. Difficulty seeing at night / excessive glare, especially when driving at night \n4. Whitish color in the pupils / eye beads \n\n Cataract examination with the Snellen Chart can help to measure visual acuity. The doctor will also perform a slit lamp biomicroscopy examination to examine the front segment of the eyeball, including the cornea, iris, pupil and eye lens. Examination by dilating the pupil is needed to assess the condition of the retina / optic nerve. \n\n Prevention of cataracts: \n1. Diligently check your eye health \nAdults under 50 years of age are advised to have their eyes checked every one to two years. Meanwhile, for those aged over 50 years, it is recommended to have their eyes checked at least once a year. \n2. Protect the eyes from exposure to UV rays \nUV rays can damage eye proteins, therefore we must avoid direct exposure to sunlight by wearing sunglasses or head protection such as a hat, especially when doing activities under the hot sun. \n3. Maintain health \nMaintaining health is important in preventing disease from easily attacking the body. Because certain diseases such as diabetes can increase the risk of cataracts. \n4. Consume nutritious food \nAntioxidants can stop protein damage in the lens of the eye, so this can prevent the risk of cataracts. \n5. Maintain an ideal body weight \nBeing overweight or obese can increase the risk of diabetes, which is a risk factor for cataracts. \n6. Don't smoke \n Smoking can create free radicals which increase the risk of developing cataracts \n7. Do not consume alcoholic drinks \nExcessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n Friends of Hermina, if you have complaints in the eye area, please visit a specialist doctor at our hospital to immediately get the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Let's recognize Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as early as possible?<\/a><\/h3>
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that disrupts the respiratory system caused by the lungs becoming inflamed over a long period of time. \n\n There are two medical conditions included in COPD, namely: \n- Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the walls of the bronchial tubes that lasts for a long time. This inflammation causes the bronchial tubes to swell and fill with mucus. This mucus can block the airways, making it difficult for sufferers to breathe. \n- Emphysema is damage to the alveoli. Alveoli are air sacs in the lungs which act as a place to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. \n\n \nSeveral conditions can increase a person's risk of suffering from this disease: \n- Smoking habit or frequent exposure to cigarette smoke (passive smoking) \n- Air pollution, such as road dust, vehicle fumes, or factory and industrial fumes. \n- Have asthma, TB, HIV infection, and genetic disorders \n-Families with a history of COPD \n-Age 40 years and over \n\n COPD symptoms: \n- Hard to breathe \n- Chronic cough \n- Cough with phlegm \n- Sometimes shivering \n- Phlegm changes color \n- Non-specific symptoms: weakness, lethargy, insomnia, fatigue, depression \n\n Supporting examinations carried out to confirm the diagnosis: \n- Spirometry, is an examination carried out to objectively measure lung capacity or function. \n- Chest x-ray \n- If an acute exacerbation occurs: blood gas analysis, DPL, sputum gram, MOR culture \n\n COPD Treatment \nCOPD cannot be completely cured. But treatment can be done to help relieve symptoms and prevent the progression of this disease. Here are several methods for treating COPD: \n- Drugs \n1. Bronchodilators, such as aclidinium, salbutamol, salmeterol, and terbutaline \n2. Corticosteroids, such as fluticasone and budesonide \n- Oxygen Therapy, aims to provide oxygen supply to the lungs. Patients can use oxygen cylinders that they carry everywhere. \n- Pulmonary rehabilitation \n- Breathing aids, if the condition is serious enough the patient must use a ventilator. \n- Surgery, performed if COPD symptoms cannot be suppressed with medication or therapy. Operations that can be performed include: \n1. Lung volume reduction surgery \n2. Lung transplant \n3.Bullectomy, which is removing the air sacs (bullae) formed due to damaged alveoli, so that air flow can be better. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is Muntaber? Come on, get to know the causes and symptoms?<\/a><\/h3>
Vomiting is an inflammatory disease of the intestines and stomach caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Vomiting not only causes diarrhea, but can also cause nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. In severe cases, vomiting sufferers can become dehydrated due to losing a lot of fluids. \n\n Vomiting and diarrhea are two different diseases. In mutaber sufferers, it is certain that diarrhea occurs, while diarrhea sufferers usually can experience dehydration but do not experience stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. \n\n Causes of Vomiting \n\n Virus \nVomiting can be caused by viruses found in feces. In cases of vomiting that often occur in children, the cause is usually Rotavirus. In other cases, norovirus is also the cause of this disease. \n\n Bacteria \nE. coli and Salmonella bacteria are usually found in dirty or unhygienic food, causing vomiting. \n\n Parasite \nParasites that enter the body can cause a person to vomit. Parasites that can cause vomiting include Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. \n\n Poison \nConsuming poisonous foods can cause vomiting. For example, seafood that is not fresh can cause poisoning and allergic reactions. \n\n Vomiting Symptoms \n\n The main symptoms of this disease are diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. \n\n Headache \nFever \nBloated \nFatigue \nDecreased appetite \nStomach ache to the point of stomach cramps \n\n \nWhat is worrying about experiencing vomiting is dehydration. Dehydration caused by vomiting has its own complications, namely: \n\n - Brain swelling \n\n - Comma \n\n - Hypovolemic shock \n\n - Kidney failure \n\n - Epilepsy \n\n - Nutritional imbalance \n\n - Fatigue \n\n - Muscle weakness \n\n This disease can also reduce a person's appetite. To overcome this, we can give him his favorite food. \n\n Vomiting can be transmitted from one person who is suffering from it to the environment around the sufferer, for example, if someone who is infected with vomiting defecates and then does not wash their hands but makes physical contact with other people, this can transmit this disease. \n\n Hermina friends, immediately consult a specialist if you experience symptoms like those we have mentioned above. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Identify Red Flag Conditions In Low Back Pain ( Low Back Pain )<\/a><\/h3>
Low back pain (LBP) is pain felt in the lower back area, it can be local pain, radicular pain or a mixture of both. This pain is felt between the corners of the lowest ribs and the lower crease of the buttocks, namely in the lumbar or lumbosacral area and can be accompanied by the spread of pain towards the legs and feet (PPK Neurology, 2016) \n\n Low back pain is a symptom that can be caused by various abnormalities, both known and unknown; and is defined from its location, namely between costae XII and the buttock crease. This pain is often accompanied by pain in one or both legs and is associated with neurological symptoms in the lower extremities. This condition often occurs together with other conditions such as psychological, social and biophysical conditions so that it has an impact on the pain delivery process and the individual's pain experience (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Low back pain can be classified according to its onset, namely acute low back pain (< 6 weeks), subacute (6 weeks – 3 months) and chronic (> 3 months). Lower back pain can be caused by infectious conditions, degenerative conditions, neoplasms, trauma, congenital disorders, metabolic diseases, and autoimmunity. Of the various etiologies, the most common cause of lower back pain is mechanical causes such as trauma to the vertebrae, discs and surrounding soft tissue. The second biggest cause is due to degenerative processes such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Risk factors for lower back pain include excessive physical activity over a long period of time, stress and anxiety, lifting heavy weights regularly, being overweight and obese, and sitting for long periods of time. Based on the cause, low back pain can be divided into specific low back pain, radicular syndrome and nonspecific low back pain. The most cases in primary health facilities are nonspecific low back pain (90-95% of cases) which is often caused by mechanical disorders and degenerative conditions in the musculoskeletal system (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Red flags low back pain if lower back pain occurs at age under 18 years, age over 50 years, use of anticoagulants, fever, infection, malignancy, genitourinary symptoms (urinary retention or sexual dysfunction), immunocompromise, IV narcotics, history of recent actions -recently or epidural injection. (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Considering the various etiologies and disease burden of low back pain, it is necessary to make a correct and accurate diagnosis so that patients immediately receive therapeutic treatment appropriate to their condition (Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences. 2021). The goal of low back pain therapy is to eliminate pain, inhibit progression and increase activity and mobility to improve the patient's function in life and the disabilities that can be caused by this condition. All therapy modalities must be based on recommendations not to do bed rest, remain active and carry out daily activities as usual (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Pharmacological therapy, physiotherapy or medical rehabilitation, psychiatric therapy, alternative therapy and pain intervention therapy are relevant therapeutic options. Treatment for LBP is different for each individual, not all patients show the same response to treatment, and not all pain intervention therapies will be effective for all patients. (Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences. 2021). \n\n Signs that must be watched out for in patients with lower back pain are the presence of red flags where if there are the components that have been mentioned, the patient must get referral and therapy immediately. \n\n Hermina Balikpapan Hospital with specialist polyclinic service facilities such as Neurology, Orthopedics and Traumatology as well as Physical Medicine and Medical Rehabilitation and equipped with the necessary examination facilities (Xray, CTScan and Laboratory) can be an option to get immediate treatment regarding low back pain complaints. pain ). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
