Be careful of lazy eyes (amblyopia) in children<\/a><\/h3>
Amblyopia (lazy eye) is poor vision ability in one or both eyes caused by defects in normal vision development during childhood, which can cause lifelong conditions or lack of clarity of vision due to imperfect vision development in the brain. The human brain needs visual stimulation to fully develop. During a child's development from birth to age 8, anything that blocks or interferes with clear vision can cause amblyopia. \n\n Astigmatism (abnormal curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye), hyperopia (farsightedness) and myopia (farsightedness), crossed eyes (strabismus), or anything that blocks the visual axis of one eye (e.g. eyelids) are all causes of lazy eyes. (descending eye, pediatric cataract). Lazy eye (amblyopia) usually affects only one eye, but if both eyes lack good and clear visuals for a prolonged period, the condition can occur in both eyes. Early diagnosis increases the chances of successful treatment because, after the age of 8 years, visual impairment can become permanent. On the other hand, if your child does not develop amblyopia until the age of 8, then the chances of developing amblyopia are very small. \n\n Children with amblyopia usually do not complain of poor vision, so this problem is sometimes only discovered when the vision of both eyes is examined (for example, during an eye test at school). Sometimes, parents notice that their child's eyes are crossed (strabismus) when one eye appears out of line with the other. \n\n A child is at higher risk of developing lazy eye if he or she has nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia), a large difference in the size of the glasses from one eye to another, or visual impairment due to birth defects such as drooping eyelids, cataracts, or eye injuries. and crossed eyes (eyes that are not parallel). \n\n The types of treatment that must be carried out if a child has a lazy eye are: First, if there is an abnormality in the size of the glasses, the child needs to be given appropriate glasses to be used all the time. Then, the child needs to be encouraged to use the lazy eye. This is usually done by patching or closing the good eye, usually for a few hours each day. Treatment may take several months or even years and is often more effective when started at an early age. If lazy eye is detected too late (for example, after age 8 years), there is a chance that the visual damage cannot be cured. This is why it is so important to have your child's eyes checked by an ophthalmologist. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dangers of Stunting in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Stunting is a serious condition in children, namely a condition of failure to thrive caused by chronic malnutrition, and is characterized by a child's height being below the average or very short child, and his body not growing and developing properly according to his age. It lasts for a long time. Stunting in children should not be taken lightly. If not treated, this condition can interfere with brain development and reduce the child's mental ability and intelligence level. This condition is triggered by several factors since infection in the mother's womb, which include infection in pregnancy, malnutrition (malnutrition) in pregnant women, suboptimal nutrition in infants from birth to the first two years of life, recurrent infections, or poor stimulation from the environment. A child is said to be stunted if he has a shorter height than other children his age or if the child's height is below the standard growth curve established by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, Indonesia will occupy the 2nd position for the highest number of stunts in Southeast Asia. According to data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, about 1 in 3 Indonesian toddlers is stunted. \n\n Causes of Stunting in Children \n\n The cause of stunting in children occurs due to a lack of nutritional intake in children in the first 1,000 days of life, namely since the child is still in the womb until he is 2 years old. Stunting in children can be caused by problems during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or after, such as inadequate complementary feeding. \n\n Characteristics of Stunting in Children \n\n The general characteristics of stunting in children can be seen from the child's stunted stature when he reaches the age of 2 years. The child may also have a thin body (wasting) or his body development is not in accordance with normal. Although it looks short and thin, the child's body is still proportional. But keep in mind, not all short children are called stunted. \n\n In addition to experiencing growth disorders, here are some signs of stunting in children: \n\n -Experience a decrease in intelligence level, speech disorders, and learning difficulties \n\n -Has a low immune system, making it easier to get sick, especially due to infectious diseases \n\n -Risk of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity as an adult \n\n All of the characteristics of stunted children are the impact of lack of nutrition, frequent disease, and bad parenting in the first 1,000 days of a child's life. \n\n How to prevent stunting in children \n\n The way to overcome stunting is to provide children with adequate nutrition from the womb, after birth, and during the growth period. \n\n Learn how to prevent stunting in the following children: \n\n 1. Fulfill Nutrition During Pregnancy \n\n Pregnant women should eat a healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy, even before conception. This is to ensure that the fetus will receive optimal nutrition in the womb, be born healthy, and also receive good nutrition after birth. \n\n 2. Fulfill Your Little One's Nutrition Optimally \n\n The way to prevent stunting is to provide your baby with complete nutrition and a nutritious diet. Important and essential nutrients for your little one are vitamins (A, B complex, C, D, E, and K), minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium, potassium, and chloride), protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and liquids. After that, parents are advised to give their little one nutritious milk that is appropriate for his age. The benefits of milk are to maintain the immune system, support the growth of bones and teeth, produce energy, nourish the brain, and support the growth and development of children as a whole. \n\n 3. Practicing Proper Hygiene \n\n The problem of stunting can also be triggered by poor environmental hygiene. Therefore, parents and all family members should practice proper hygiene, for example, washing their hands with soap and running water before and after preparing food. \n\n 4. Overcoming Children Who Have Difficulty Eating \n\n One of the triggers of malnutrition is the result of children who have difficulty eating. There are several reasons why a child won't eat, including food allergies or intolerances, reflux, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, or other more serious health conditions. Parents can apply ways to deal with children who have difficulty eating as follows: \n\n -Provide a variety of healthy and diverse foods. \n\n -Completes balanced nutritional needs, including one third fruit and vegetables, one-third carbohydrates such as rice, and one-third protein such as meat, fish, or other vegetarian protein sources. \n\n -Consumption of healthy drinks such as milk, home-made tea, vegetable and fruit juices, infused water, yogurt, and others. \n\n -Give your little one healthy snacks such as fruit slices, vegetable salads, oatmeal, cheese, or other delicious homemade preparations. \n\n 5. Meeting with the Health Service Team \n\n Parents must be painstaking in giving their little one a balanced, nutritious diet every day. In addition, it is important for regular child health consultations at the Posyandu, Puskesmas, or the nearest health service center. The doctor will help check the child's health and provide the best advice for the child's growth and development. Meanwhile, parents must also care for and pay attention to the details of their child's growth from time to time. \n\n If Hermina's friend wants to consult about stunting in children, you can immediately consult a pediatrician at the Hermina Hospital Depok. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PREVENT HEMOROID WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE<\/a><\/h3>
PREVENT HEMORRHOID WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE \n\n Hemorrhoid or Hemorrhoid are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum. This condition is similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoid can develop in the rectum or under the skin around the anus. \n\n Although not a severe condition, Hemorrhoid can cause discomfort to the sufferer. There are many treatment options, but it is best to prevent them. \n\n Hemorrhoid can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. So, what kind of healthy lifestyle can be lived to prevent Hemorrhoid? \n\n Some Healthy Lifestyles That Can Prevent Hemorrhoid : \n\n 1.Avoid Delaying CHAPTER \n\n While this is a reasonable suggestion, many people still ignore it. If you delay bowel movements (defecation), the stool will become hard and dry in the intestines. This actually makes it more difficult to remove. If you try hard to push, then the risk of developing Hemorrhoid increases. \n\n 2. Don't Sit On The Toilet Too Long \n\n The more time you spend on the toilet, the more likely you are to push to defecate. Sitting position puts extra pressure on the anal veins. Both of these factors increase the risk of Hemorrhoid. \n\n 3. Consuming Fibre Foods Every Day \n\n To prevent Hemorrhoid, stool must be soft and easy to pass. For soft stool consistency, you should eat fibrous foods (fruits and vegetables) and drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. Lack of fiber is the most common cause of Hemorrhoid. \n\n 4.Exercise \n\n Moderate exercise helps improve or prevent many bowel and digestive problems, including Hemorrhoid. When you are not physically active, all your organs slow down, including your intestines. Exercise helps keep waste moving through the intestinal tract. This will prevent constipation and dry, hard stools. \n\n 5.Meet the Doctor \n\n If you have problems with Hemorrhoid, see your doctor immediately so he can evaluate your symptoms. You can schedule doctor visits at the nearest hospital. \n\n If you already have Hemorrhoid and don't get treatment right away, complications may occur. Although rare, common complications include: \n\n 1. Anemia. \n\n Chronic blood loss from Hemorrhoid can lead to anemia, where you don't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's cells. \n\n 2. Hemorrhoid "choking" \n\n If the blood supply to an internal hemorrhoid is cut off, the hemorrhoid may “choke”, which can cause excruciating pain. \n\n 3. Blood clotting \n\n Sometimes, clots can form in Hemorrhoid. Although harmless, this condition can be very painful. \n\n If you are experiencing symptoms of Hemorrhoid and are unsure about how to cure it, immediately consult with your doctor. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

TIPS FOR KEEPING SENSITIVE SKIN HEALTH<\/a><\/h3>
If you have ever had a skin reaction in the form of a red rash, hives, breakouts/acne accompanied by an itching or burning sensation after using certain skincare products, after consuming certain foods or the reaction came due to extreme weather, then you may have sensitive skin. \n\n Owners of sensitive skin basically have skin that is easily irritated. Then how to maintain health? \n\n How to Maintain Sensitive Skin Health \n\n Here's a list of DO and DON'T that must be known to maintain the health of sensitive skin. \n\n DO : \n\n 1. Using a moisturizer/moisturizer \n\n Choose a moisturizer that has an allergy-free formula (hypoallergenic) and is free from additives such as perfume, dyes, and alcohol. Moisturizing content containing ceramide is highly recommended for sensitive skin with skin barrier disorders (atopy). Apply moisturizer after bathing 2x a day, especially on dry and cracked skin. \n\n 2. Double Cleansing \n\n Sensitive skin also needs double cleansing to ensure all dirt residue is removed from the skin. You can choose products that are specifically for sensitive skin, and do a circular motion when cleaning your face. \n\n 3. Use mild soap \n\n Also use a soap with a special formulation for sensitive skin. Usually this soap has the same PH as the skin in the range of 6-7. Another feature of this gentle soap is that it contains little foam and feels soft on the skin when used and is free of perfume, parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS free). \n\n 4. Use sunscreen \n\n UV rays can cause sensitive skin because they can penetrate into the layers of the skin and trigger a photosensitivity/sunburn reaction in the skin. So, make sure to always use sunscreen every day and reapply every 3 hours to keep your skin from experiencing increased sensitivity. \n\n DON'T: \n\n 1. Avoid contact with allergens and skin care products that trigger allergies \n\n Allergens can be found in certain foods, household consumables such as detergents, hygiene products such as deodorants, toothpaste and so on. The use of cosmetics containing skin lightening/bleaching such as AHA-BHA, retinoic acid, hydroquinone, kojic acid and so on should be consulted upstream to a dermatologist/skin specialist, because inappropriate and careless use will result in damage to the skin barrier which in turn will trigger sensitive skin. \n\n 2. Avoid taking hot showers > 40oC and bathing > 10 minutes \n\n Bath water temperature that is too hot and the duration of the bath is too long can also accelerate the breakdown of the skin barrier. \n\n 3. Avoid exfoliating your skin too often \n\n Removing dead skin cells is important to keep the face bright and free of blackheads. However, you need to be careful not to do it too o \n\n Consultation is needed not only when the skin is problematic but also should be done before choosing the right cosmetic product on the face, especially for owners of sensitive skin, considering that not all cosmetic products are suitable for use on sensitive skin. Consult your skin health problems with a Dermatologist and Sex Specialist to get healthy skin often. Exfoliate once a month on sensitive skin. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ward Kemuning (Lung Disease)<\/a><\/h3>
Frequent shortness of breath, prolonged coughing, or wheezing can be signs of a lung problem. What are the common types of lung disease? Check out the following article so you can anticipate it. \n\n The lungs are one of the organs that play an important role in running the respiratory system (breathing). When air reaches the lungs, there will be an exchange of oxygen from outside the body with carbon dioxide from the blood. If the lungs are disturbed, then this process will also be disrupted. \n\n Types of Lung Diseases \n\n The following are various diseases that can attack the lungs: \n\n 1. Pneumonia \n\n Pneumonia is an infection that causes the air sacs in the lungs to become inflamed and swollen. Pneumonia is often referred to as wet lungs, because in this condition, the lungs can be filled with fluid or pus. \n\n The cause of pneumonia is a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Transmission of this infection occurs through air contaminated with germs from patients who sneeze or cough. \n\n 2. Tuberculosis \n\n Tuberculosis (TB) is a lung disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These bacteria not only attack the lungs, but can also spread to other body parts, such as bones, lymph nodes, central nervous system, and kidneys. \n\n TB bacteria spread in the air through splashes of phlegm or fluids from the respiratory tract of the sufferer, for example when coughing or sneezing. \n\n 3. Bronchitis. \n\n Bronchitis is inflammation that occurs in the branching of the airways leading to the lungs or bronchi. One of the most common causes is a viral infection. \n\n The virus that causes bronchitis is usually transmitted from the patient through the sprinkling of the phlegm they produce. If the sputum is inhaled or swallowed by another person, the virus will infect the person's bronchial tubes. \n\n 4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \n\n Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung inflammation that causes airflow obstruction to and from the lungs. There are two types of disorders that occur in COPD, namely chronic bronchitis and emphysema. \n\n In chronic bronchitis, inflammation occurs in the walls of the bronchi (the tubes that carry air to and from the lungs). While in emphysema, inflammation or damage occurs in the alveoli (small sacs in the lungs). \n\n The main factor that increases the risk of developing COPD is long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, both active and passive. While other risk factors are exposure to dust, fuel fumes, and chemical fumes. \n\n 5. Asthma \n\n Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, causing shortness of breath. \n\n People with asthma generally have more sensitive airways. When people with asthma are exposed to allergens or triggers, their airways become inflamed, swollen, and narrowed. This will block the air flow. In addition, there will be an increase in the production of phlegm which makes it more difficult for sufferers to breathe. \n\n There are several things that can trigger an asthma attack, such as exposure to dust, cigarette smoke, animal dander, cold air, viruses, and chemicals. \n\n Those are the kinds of lung diseases that you need to know and be aware of. If you often experience a prolonged cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or even chest pain, don't hesitate to see a doctor so that you can be given the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to Know Twins or Multiple Pregnancy<\/a><\/h3>
A twin or multiple pregnancy is a pregnancy with more than 1 fetus. Twin/multiple pregnancies can occur through 2 mechanisms. The first mechanism is through the fertilization of more than 1 egg by 1 sperm each, known as fraternal twins. The second mechanism is through fertilization of 1 egg by 1 sperm, and then the result of fertilization (zygote) undergoes division, known as identical twins. Fraternal twins are more common than identical twins. \n\n \n\n Multiple pregnancies are more common in couples who are trying to conceive using drugs to induce ovulation. In vitro fertilization (IVF) or IVF also increases the risk of multiple pregnancies. Women aged 35 years and family history factors also increase the incidence of multiple pregnancies. \n\n \n\n A twin pregnancy is a risky pregnancy for both the mother and the baby. The risk experienced by the mother is the increased incidence of anemia, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage. The greatest risk experienced by babies is prematurity. In addition, the risk of growth disorders can be experienced by one or all of the fetuses in the womb. This can increase the risk of fetal death. \n\n \n\n The risk to the fetus also depends on the chorionicity of the placenta. Chorionicity refers to whether each fetus has one placenta or shares a placenta with other fetuses. Therefore, in multiple pregnancies, routine examinations to assess maternal health and fetal-fetal development need to be carried out. \n\n \n\n The purpose of this examination is to prevent the occurrence of medical conditions in the mother and fetus. In addition, preparation for childbirth is better, thereby reducing the incidence of morbidity and mortality for mothers and babies born. \n\n \n\n What to ask the obstetrician during the examination? \n\n \n The total number of fetuses \n The total number of placentas (uteruses) and gestational sacs \n Is the growth of the two fetuses appropriate for gestational age? \n \n\n \n\n The choice of delivery in multiple pregnancies (normal delivery or cesarean section) is determined by several things, such as: the mother's medical condition, the welfare of the fetus, and the position of the fetus. The important things that can be learned from this article are that twin pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy that has an impact on the health of the mother and her fetus. Therefore, regular check-ups are important to prevent medical risks to the mother and fetus. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\n Do you know Hermina's friend? 1 in 6 couples in Indonesia have experienced a miscarriage. Miscarriage is one of the dreams of a partner in having children, especially when it occurs repeatedly. This becomes a fear for couples and potential partners. What should we do so that later, when we try to get pregnant again, there will be no repeated miscarriages? And what are the signs we need to watch out for? \n\n First, we need to know what the definition of miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage is. Friends of Hermina, a miscarriage terminated at the age of less than 20 weeks and a birth weight of less than 500 grams with signs such as heartburn, bleeding, and opening of the cervix. Some studies say that a miscarriage that can be said to be a recurrent miscarriage is a miscarriage that occurs three times. However, it is better not to wait until the third time. If there have been two miscarriages, Friends of Hermina must immediately consult a gynecologist.
