Impact of Air Pollution on Health<\/a><\/h3>
\n Air pollution or air pollution is one of the environmental problems that has a negative impact on various aspects, one of which is for human health.\n\n \n\n \n In several big cities, especially those that are currently hitting the nation's capital, air pollution is a problem that people often complain about. The air mixed with factory production residue, household waste, burning waste, and motorized vehicle fumes, makes the air have a very high pollutant content. If left unchecked, this can cause adverse effects on health. In terms of health, air pollution due to environmental pollution can cause several impacts, including the following:\n\n Generates disease germs\n\nUnclean air can contain harmful substances, dust and disease germs. This disease is caused by air pollution, including shortness of breath, asthma and does not rule out the possibility of causing cancer.\n\n2. Makes eyes sore and irritated\n\nAir pollution not only attacks breathing but can also make your eyes sore and easily irritated. Exposure to bad air can trigger dry eye syndrome, irritation to conjunctivitis.\n\nWe recommend using glasses or eye protection when you move in locations with poor air quality. Don't forget to always carry eye drops and avoid touching your eyes too often\n\n3. Disorders of the reproductive system\n\nFor pregnant women, air pollution is also very dangerous for themselves and their fetus. The impact of air pollution on pregnant women can trigger inflammation throughout the body and trigger premature birth. Meanwhile for the fetus, this condition can result in a miscarriage.\n\n4. Respiratory tract infection\n\nThe impact of air pollution from vehicle fumes, factory fumes, cigarette smoke, and others can trigger respiratory problems, such as asthma, acute respiratory infection, and lung cancer. In addition, air pollution can also end in reduced oxygen levels in the human body\n\n5. Reducing visibility\n\nThis can happen if the air pollution is very thick. If the smoke on the street is very thick, it can interfere with vision which can automatically reduce visibility. If visibility is reduced, one solution is to walk with caution to avoid collisions or accidents.\n\n \n\n Prevention efforts from the effects of air pollution\n\n1. Limiting the use of motorized vehicles on days with higher pollution levels\n\n2. Wear a mask when leaving the house or doing activities outside\n\n3. Limit walking or activities at busy times \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If the ruptured egg follicle is not fertilized by sperm or there is no attachment to the product of manufacture, then the lining of the uterus will straighten and menstruation will occur. \n\n Every woman experiences a different length of days and amount of bleeding. In general, a person experiences menstruation which normally lasts between 2-7 days. Menstruation that lasts more than 7 days can be called hypermenorrhea. If a woman experiences prolonged menstruation every month and is accompanied by complaints such as very much blood coming out during menstruation, weakness and abdominal pain are dangerous conditions and the cause must be found out. However, if it only occurs occasionally, prolonged menstruation is not a dangerous thing. \n\n Various Causes of Prolonged Menstruation \n\n Prolonged menstruation can be caused by: \n\n Hormone imbalance \nProlonged menstrual processes can be triggered due to hormonal imbalance.

Get to know the symptoms and how to prevent cervical cancer.<\/a><\/h3>
Cervical cancer is cancer that grows in cells in the cervix. This cancer generally develops slowly and only shows symptoms when it has entered an advanced stage. The cervix or cervix has a function as a place to protect the uterus from bacteria and foreign objects from outside, and functions to produce mucus which helps channel sperm from the vagina to the uterus during sexual intercourse. Cervical cancer or cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Based on research in 2020, there are more than 600,000 cases of cervical cancer with 342,000 deaths worldwide. In Indonesia, cervical cancer ranks second after breast cancer as the most common type of cancer of all cancer cases in 2020. There have been more than 36,000 cases and 21,000 deaths from this cancer. \n\n The cause of cervical cancer itself involves several factors, namely: \n\n The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. This viral infection is very susceptible to targeting individuals who have sexual intercourse with multiple partners. High-risk sexual behavior, such as unprotected sex or sharing unwashed sex toys, can also increase the risk. In addition, women who have never received the HPV vaccine (immunization) are also more at risk of infection with HPV, which can cause this cancer. \n\n Following are the symptoms of cervical cancer that you need to pay attention to: \n\n 1. Vaginal bleeding, which is especially extreme between menstrual cycles and bleeding after menopause, can be a sign and symptom of cervical cancer. \n\n 2. Bleeding during sexual intercourse: if contact or touching during sexual intercourse causes bleeding or even heavy vaginal discharge, then it could be a sign of cervical cancer. \n\n 3. Unusual vaginal discharge: other symptoms of cervical cancer include vaginal discharge that changes color, has an unpleasant odor, and changes in the texture and consistency of the vagina. \n\n 4. Increased frequency of urination Pain when urinating and being unable to hold back the urge to urinate are also symptoms of cervical cancer. This condition is usually caused by cancer cells that grow around the cervix and then spread to the bladder. \n\n 5. Easily tired This condition occurs due to abnormal bleeding in the vagina, so that over time the body experiences a shortage of red blood cells, or anemia, which causes a feeling of fatigue. \n\n Cervical cancer prevention efforts: \n\n 1. Healthy lifestyle (maintained nutrition, exercise, not smoking) \n\n 2. Do not change sexual partners. \n\n 3. Keeping the genital area clean \n\n 4. HPV vaccine \n\n 5. Early detection through routine pap smears and IVA \n\n If you have some of the symptoms of cervical cancer that last for several weeks or get worse, see a doctor immediately. Do not consider this condition trivial, because many people with it can recover if they get an examination as early as possible. Proper handling can minimize the consequences so that the doctor can do the treatment faster. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Know the Causes and Symptoms of Brain Stroke (Cerebrovascular Disease).<\/a><\/h3>
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the third-highest cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Cerebrovascular atrophy, or CVA, is often found in the elderly. Celebrovascular disease (CVA) is caused by a lack of blood supply, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. The longer the blood flow is interrupted, the greater the level of damage to the brain. \n\n Factors that cause cerebrovascular disease: \n\n 1. Intermittent hypertension or high blood pressure \n\n 2. Diabetes \n\n 3. Heart problems \n\n 4. Uric acid \n\n 5. Obesity \n\n 6. Smoking \n\n Conditions that fall under the category of cerebrovascular disease include: \n\n 1.Strokes. \n\n is the most common type of cerebrovascular disease. The hallmark of a stroke is a permanent loss of sensation or motor function. Two common categories of stroke are hemorrhagic (bleeding into the brain) and ischemic (inadequate blood flow to the brain). \n\n 2. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) \n\n This disease is similar to a stroke, but the symptoms will completely disappear within 24 hours. A TIA is sometimes referred to as a mini stroke. \n\n 3. Aneurysm of the blood vessels supplying the brain \n\n An aneurysm can result from weakening of the artery wall, resulting in a bulge in the blood vessel. \n\n 4. Vascular dementia \n\n Cognitive impairment, which is usually permanent and may worsen over time. This condition, which often affects the elderly, occurs due to blood vessel disorders in the brain. \n\n Cerebrovascular symptoms often appear suddenly and can be categorized as an emergency condition. Therefore, it is necessary to know the symptoms of celebrovascular \n\n 1. Sudden, severe headache \n\n 2. Paralysis or weakness on one side of the body \n\n 3. Difficulty speaking \n\n 4. Sudden confusion \n\n 5. Difficulty walking \n\n Treatment of cerebrovascular disease will be carried out according to the type of disease experienced. So that brain damage does not get worse, treatment needs to be done as soon as possible after symptoms appear. Most of the celebrovascular treatment uses several drugs, such as blood-thinning drugs, cholesterol drugs, and anti-hypertensive drugs. If it is more than that, it is necessary to perform surgery or insert a stent, which is used to clear the blockage in the blood. \n\n Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention: \n\n 1. Implement a healthy lifestyle. \n\n 2. Manage blood cholesterol and blood pressure. \n\n 3. Exercise regularly. \n\n 4. Quit smoking. \n\n 5. Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages. \n\n 6. Avoid using drugs. \n\n Although cerebrovascular disease can cause disability and death, many people live full lives. Your chances are better if you receive immediate treatment and consult yourself at Hermina Hospital if you experience the above symptoms. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know the term FAST STROKE<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a disease that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel, which causes cell death in certain areas of the brain. Stroke is a serious health problem that requires immediate treatment. When the blood supply that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is interrupted, brain cells begin to die. \n\n Recognize the early signs of a stroke. \nStroke is a disorder of brain function that occurs due to the cessation of blood supply to the brain due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). A stroke occurs suddenly, anytime, anywhere, at rest or during activity. To do so, you need to recognize stroke symptoms as early as possible with a few simple steps. FAST (face, arm, speech, and timing) to detect early symptoms of stroke. Stroke symptoms vary from person to person and often appear suddenly. Because the brain has certain parts that perform certain functions, the symptoms of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is affected. FAST is a method that makes it easier to recognize the early symptoms of a stroke so that it can be treated quickly. The following is a more complete explanation of FAST : \n\n FACE (Face) : One side of the face may be paralyzed and visible when smiling; the corners of the lips are raised to one side only; or the eyes appear to droop. Contrast this with contralateral facial paralysis. \nARMS (arms) : A person who is suspected of having had a stroke because he is unable to lift one or both of his arms due to weakness, apart from losing sensation in his arms, can also feel tingling. \nSPEAKING (Speech): Speech is disturbed or muddled; you may even be unable to speak at all, although you remain conscious. \nTIME (Time) : It's important to keep these signs in mind, especially if you currently live with or care for someone at high risk. If you notice these three symptoms, take the person who has had a stroke to the nearest hospital to get the treatment they need. \n\n Here are some of the early symptoms of a stroke to watch out for : \n1. Loss of sensation or weakness on one side of the body \nYou should be careful if the person suspected of having a stroke has difficulty moving their arms or controlling their fingers or toes. For example, when you raise both hands, one hand will be higher than the other. \n2. Confusion and difficulty speaking \nSomeone who has had a stroke will suddenly have difficulty speaking. In fact, some of them are experiencing interference. \n3. Sudden loss of vision \nSudden loss of vision is a common symptom of a stroke. They may not be able to see well with one eye or have trouble looking to the right or left. \n4. Difficulty walking and loss of balance \nLooking drunk while walking, tripping, or even falling is a sign of a stroke. Other similar signs, such as walking with spread legs or a sudden loss of fine motor skills, such as an inability to write, are also cause for concern. \nSevere, sudden, and unexplained headache \nHeadaches are not always synonymous with stroke symptoms. But if the headache comes suddenly or is severe, you should be very careful. If the neck feels stiff, there is pain in the face, or vomiting is accompanied by a headache, it is not impossible to cause intracerebral bleeding, also known as a red stroke. \nIf you feel the symptoms of a stroke, it's better to consult a neurologist or check yourself at the nearest health facility. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fluid Around the Lungs (Pleural Effusion)<\/a><\/h3>
Pleural effusion, sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing. Normally, a small amount of fluid is present in the pleura. \n\n The seriousness of the condition depends on the primary cause of pleural effusion, whether breathing is affected, and whether it can be treated effectively. Causes of pleural effusion that can be effectively treated or controlled include an infection due to a virus, pneumonia or heart failure. Two factors that must be considered are treatment for associated mechanical problems as well as treatment of the underlying cause of the pleural effusion. \n\n Common symptoms of a pleural effusion include: \n\n 1. breathlessness \n\n 2. a cough \n\n 3. chest pain. \n\n The build-up of fluid presses on the lung, making it difficult for the lung to expand fully. In some situations, part, or all, of the lung will collapse. This can make you more and more breathless, even when you are resting. You may also get some chest pain and a cough. \n\n There are several different causes of pleural effusion. For people with cancer, pleural effusions are often malignant (see above). This means that there are cancer cells in the pleural space causing fluid to build up. Sometimes, a pleural effusion can occur as a result of inflammation, lung obstruction, trauma, or another medical condition that may not be due to cancer. \n\n Certain types of cancer. Some types of cancer are more likely to cause a pleural effusion. For example, around 40% of people with lung cancer develop a pleural effusion at some point during the course of their cancer. \n\n · Breast cancer \n\n · Lung cancer \n\n · Lymphoma \n\n · Mesothelioma \n\n · Ovarian cancer \n\n Pleural effusion can also be a sign that cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. \n\n Cancer treatments. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, abdominal surgery, and certain medications can cause pleural effusion. Pleural effusions may also occur after lung surgery. \n\n Other health conditions. Pleural effusion can also be caused by other conditions that are not cancer. These conditions include: \n\n 1. Blood clots in the lungs, also called pulmonary embolism \n\n 2. Heart disease or heart failure \n\n 3. Kidney disease \n\n 4. Liver disease \n\n 5. Pneumonia \n\n 6. Airway obstruction or lung collapse \n\n 7. Poor nutrition, causing low protein levels \n\n If you have symptoms suggestive of lung disease, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. So, when should you see a doctor if you have lung problems? Watch for any symptoms. Persistent symptoms, such as coughing, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing can be caused by damage or disease in the lungs and surrounding tissues. Lung problems can also be triggered by problems in other parts of the respiratory system, such as the voice box or windpipe. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Should teeth be scaled every 6 months?<\/a><\/h3>
Clean and healthy teeth are, of course, everyone's dream, because they can avoid various kinds of oral diseases and will make us more confident. So that the teeth are always clean and healthy, apart from routine toothbrushes, there are currently so many choices of dental care at the dentist that are available and should be done regularly, one of which is tooth scaling. \n\n Tooth scaling is a procedure to clean tartar that sticks to the teeth. Tartar itself is formed from a pile of plaque that sticks and then hardens on the tooth surface. Dental plaque is usually yellowish-white to brownish in color, formed from a mixture of food scraps and bacteria in the mouth. Tartar that is allowed to stick to it, besides making the teeth look dull and unkempt, can also cause various problems in the teeth and mouth, including bad breath, inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), inflammation of the supporting tissues of the teeth (periodontitis), and can even cause the teeth to fall off by themselves. \n\n In addition to various problems with the teeth and mouth, as quoted from the Mayo Clinic, the bacteria that cause gum disease can also spread throughout the body through the bloodstream and attach to heart valves, causing heart disease. In the tartar cleaning procedure with scaling, the dentist will use two types of tools, namely a manual scraper and a scraper called an ultrasonic scaler. Ultrasonic scalers work by generating ultrasonic vibrations that can erode, remove, and destroy tartar that sticks between the teeth, gum line, and the deepest parts that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or dental floss (dental floss). \n\n Dental scaling procedures are performed on an outpatient basis at the dentist. In practice, if it is not too severe, the dentist will only need about 30 minutes to clean it; otherwise, if the tartar is difficult to remove, it will take longer. If it is deemed necessary before starting, the dentist will give anti-pain medication to prevent any pain that may arise during the process. scaling according to patient needs. \n\n So when should scaling be recommended? Teeth scaling is recommended to be done at least once every 6 months. However, for people with gingivitis, the scaling procedure can be carried out as soon as possible, according to the recommendations of the dentist. In simple terms, dental and oral hygiene are, of course, very important to note. One of the efforts that can be made to maintain dental hygiene is scaling. Therefore, routinely check with the dentist and do scaling at least every 6 months, because having healthy teeth can prevent various health problems. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rarely Known Causes of Hearing Loss and How to Overcome Them<\/a><\/h3>
Some people may not know the causes of hearing loss and how to properly maintain ear health. Caring for ear hygiene and health needs to be done because the ear apart from being an organ of hearing also has a role in regulating body balance. \n\n Causes of hearing loss \n\n Hearing loss can occur due to the following: \n\n \n Accumulation of fluid in the middle ear due to a cold \n Earwax that accumulates and clogs the ear canal \n There is a foreign object stuck in the ear canal. \n Middle ear infection \n Outer ear infection \n disruption or damage to the eustachian tube, which is the tube that connects the ear to the nose and throat. \n \n\n Hearing loss symptoms \n\n The following are symptoms caused by hearing loss: \n\n \n The sound is low. \n Turn the TV sound and music up loud. \n Ears are ringing. \n Difficulty hearing other people's words and misinterpreting what is meant, especially when in a crowd. \n Difficulty hearing consonants and high-pitched sounds. \n \n\n \n You need to concentrate hard to hear what people are saying. \n Sometimes asking other people to repeat the conversation. \n \n\n How to Maintain Ear Health \n\n How to maintain healthy ears can be done with the following things: \n\n \n Stop the habit of picking ears. \n \n\n Digging the ear, if done carelessly, can injure the ear and make the earwax go deeper. In the ear canal, the presence of a small amount of earwax is actually normal. Earwax is formed as a way to protect the ear canal from dirt and dust. However, sometimes there can be a buildup of earwax that makes the ears itchy or clogged. Therefore, many people use cotton buds, paperclips, or even hairpins to clean earwax. Be careful; this habit can actually hurt the ear and make the earwax go deeper. Actually, the ear has a natural way to clean its own dirt. But if earwax builds up and makes your ears feel uncomfortable or your hearing is disturbed, you should visit an ENT doctor to do an examination and clean your ears in a safe way. \n\n \n Keep your ears away from loud sounds. \n \n\n \n Listening to music using earphones should be limited in time, and there should be a rest period. Avoid music that is too loud. \n If you work in a noisy environment, you should use earplugs. \n \n\n \n Avoid using ear candles. \n \n\n An ear candle is a technique for cleaning the ear using a special candle. The use of ear candles tends to be dangerous because they can cause injuries to the ear, such as burning and blockage of the ear canal. \n\n \n Keeping Ears Dry \n \n\n Wet or damp ear conditions allow bacteria and fungi to multiply in the ear, which can trigger irritation and infection in the ear. Use earplugs when swimming to prevent water from getting into your ears. Also, dry your ears with a clean, dry towel after every swim or shower. \n\n \n Do regular ear checks. \n \n\n Routine ear examinations with the ENT doctor are important to maintain ear health and detect if there is a disturbance in the ear. In this examination, the doctor will evaluate the health condition of the ear and hearing function by carrying out a physical examination of the ear and a hearing test. Through regular examinations with the doctor, signs or symptoms of ear disease can be detected early, and immediate treatment can be taken. If there are no complaints about your ears or hearing, you can have your ear health checked by an ENT doctor every 3–5 years. \n\n However, if there are complaints in the ear, such as ear pain, discharge or blood from the ear, or sudden hearing loss, don't delay to immediately see an ENT doctor so that treatment can be given immediately. You should visit an ENT doctor at Hermina Tasikmalaya Hospital, dr. Adya Arradika, SpTHT-KL. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Scalling, Is that important ? <\/a><\/h3>
What is tooth scaling? \nScaling is a procedure to clean or remove tartar (mineralized dental plaque) that sticks to the tooth surface. Tartar and dental plaque contain lots of bacteria that can cause infections in the surrounding tissue. You can do regular scaling to protect healthy teeth and tooth-supporting tissues (gums and bones) from periodontal disease. Chronic periodontal disease is a disease caused by an infection by bacteria that causes inflammation of the periodontal tissue supporting the teeth. With unhealthy tooth support tissue, teeth are easy to shake or fall out. \nThe scaling procedure is often accompanied by a root planing or deep cleaning procedure. Scaling aims to remove tartar from the visible surface of the teeth, while root planning removes tartar at the roots of the teeth, which are located below the gums. \n\n What is the purpose of scaling? \n\n The scaling process has several objectives, namely: \n\n 1. Remove tartar. \n\n 2. Remove plaque in areas that toothbrushes cannot reach. \n\n 3. Prevent dental disease. \n\n 4. Preventing periodontal disease by preventing or eliminating the formation of gum pockets (gum pockets are formed when plaque and coral buildup continuously, causing the gums to lose good attachment to the teeth). The deeper the pocket, the more severe the gum disease. \n\n What are the benefits of scaling? \n\n Overall, the benefits of scaling include cleaning teeth and preventing various dental diseases. The benefits of scaling are more pronounced for people with chronic periodontal disease. Even scaling is a mandatory treatment for patients with a history of the disease. \n\n Scaling can repair damaged attachments between teeth and gums and eliminate pockets that form between teeth and gums, thereby reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth and bone loss. Regular scaling is especially important for people who have disease or are at high risk of developing periodontal disease. If you have severe tooth decay, smoke, or have diabetes, scaling can reduce the risk of developing dental problems. \n\n When to scale? \n\n Dentists often recommend scaling and root planing if you have signs of chronic periodontal disease. Signs of chronic periodontal disease include bad breath, loose teeth, swollen, red, painful gums, and bleeding easily. \n\n Chronic periodontal disease occurs when bacteria in plaque cause inflammation of the gums around the teeth, damaging the gum attachment. When left continuously, it can cause pockets to form between the teeth and gums. Inflammation that affects the gums can get worse and damage the bones around the teeth, so that the previously formed pockets become bigger and deeper. As a result, more bacteria multiply there, which cannot be eliminated simply by brushing your teeth. \n\n If left untreated, chronic periodontal disease can cause: \n\n 1. Loss of dental bone tissue \n2. Loss of teeth due to loose teeth \n\n Some things that can increase the risk of chronic periodontal disease are : \n\n 1. Poor oral hygiene \n2. Smoke. \n3. Aging. \n4. Hormonal changes. \n5. Malnutrition \n6. other medical conditions. \n\n Tartar that is not cleaned can cause various problems. How often scaling is done depends on the oral hygiene conditions of each person. This dental treatment should be done every six months. However, for people with a higher tendency to accumulate plaque and tartar, it's a good idea to clean tartar every two to four months. So check the condition of your teeth and consult your dentist about it. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The term skin asthma first appeared because atopic dermatitis and asthma in sufferers are usually interrelated. \n\n As many as 50% of people with asthma have severe eczema; this is related to the body's immune response. Both of these diseases, asthma and eczema, arise due to an exaggerated immune response to allergens, resulting in inflammation of the respiratory tract or skin. \n\n \n\n Facts About Skin Asthma \n\n There are many assumptions or myths about skin asthma circulating in society that are sometimes confusing. Therefore, it is very important to know the real facts so as not to misunderstand. These are the facts that need to be understood: \n\n \n \n Not Contagious \n \n \n\n Many think that this disease can be transmitted from one person to another. However, the fact is that atopic dermatitis is not a disease caused by bacteria or viruses, so it cannot be transmitted. This disease is a symptom that appears due to a problem with the body's immune response. \n\n \n \n Can be suffered for life. \n \n \n\n Another fact that must be known is that this disease can last a lifetime. The reason is that this disease is influenced by the body's immunity and genetics, so it will not go away but can come and go by itself. When immunity is good, it will disappear and recur when immunity drops. \n\n \n \n Detergents can trigger dermatitis. \n \n \n\n Atopic dermatitis can also be caused by an excessive allergic reaction to foreign objects from outside, one of which is detergent. The skin of atopic dermatitis sufferers can suddenly become irritated and red when exposed to the detergent used to wash the clothes they are wearing. \n\n \n \n Decreasing Disease \n \n \n\n It was mentioned above that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to genes, so it is highly likely that it will be inherited. For parents who have a history of allergies, 80% of their children will experience the same thing. Whereas for parents without a history of allergies, the possibility that their child will still be allergic is only 20%. \n\n \n \n Untreatable \n \n \n\n Basically, the treatment of skin asthma or atopic dermatitis is just dealing with the symptoms. The doctor will give medicine to relieve itching, redness, and pain, if any. Meanwhile, the cause itself is unknown, so doctors cannot treat the cause directly. \n\n \n\n Tips for Overcoming Skin Asthma \n\n After knowing the facts, Friends of Hermina can better understand how to deal with this disease so it doesn't get worse. Apart from going to the doctor, friends of Hermina can follow the tips below : \n\n \n \n Get enough rest and avoid stress \n \n \n\n It is known that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to the immune system. So the way to deal with it is, of course, by seeking to increase your body's immune system. By avoiding stress and getting enough rest, it will boost the immune system, so it will prevent atopic dermatitis. \n\n \n \n Regular Sports \n \n \n\n Exercise is very good for health and effective in warding off various kinds of diseases. In the case of skin asthma, exercise is needed to maintain body resistance so that immunity rises and it is not easy to experience allergic reactions. \n\n \n \n Consumption of Hypoallergenic Foods \n \n \n\n One of the triggers of atopic dermatitis is an allergy to a food, so the body shows an allergic reaction. Therefore, it would be better if you avoided foods that have the potential to cause allergies, such as eggs, chicken, and seafood. Choose foods that are hypoallergenic (do not cause allergies). \n\n \n \n Keep clean \n \n \n\n Eczema or atopic dermatitis can appear as a result of the body's reaction to foreign objects such as dust, cat hair, or invisible germs. Therefore, to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions, it would be better if you always maintained the cleanliness of your body and place of residence. \n\n \n \n Wear soft clothing \n \n \n\n People with very sensitive skin really have to take care of everything that comes into contact with their skin, especially clothes. In order not to irritate it, choose clothes that are made of soft materials so that they do not irritate the skin, which can result in an itchy reaction and atopic dermatitis. \n\n Understanding the facts about skin asthma will help Friends of Hermina recognize this disease so that it is not handled wrongly.
