Steps to Prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Friends of Hermina. This time we will discuss a little about iron deficiency anemia. What exactly is iron deficiency anemia? \n\n Anemia is a condition where the body's hemoglobin (Hb) level is less than normal. Hemoglobin itself functions to deliver oxygen throughout the body so that the body works optimally. Hemoglobin is like a car whose job is to deliver logistics throughout the body. If this "car" is disrupted, then the "logistics" that should be delivered will not reach the body's cells. \n\n The normal Hb level for each population is different, but in general the normal value of Hb is \n\n \n 13 – 18 gr/dL in men \n 12 - 15 gr/dL in women \n 11 – 16 gr/dL in children \n For pregnant women, the normal value in each trimester is different, but in general it is more than 10 gr/dL \n \n\n There are many causes of anemia. However, what is often found in the general population is iron deficiency anemia or what is commonly referred to as iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition where iron is one of the building blocks of red blood cells. If the amount of iron as a raw material for forming red blood cells decreases, the amount of blood that is formed will automatically decrease. \n\n There are many things that can cause iron deficiency anemia, including: \n\n \n Insufficient nutritional intake, especially animal protein as the main source of iron \n Increased needs, such as during pregnancy \n Infections, such as worms or malaria \n Heavy blood loss, for example during menstruation \n \n\n Iron absorption in the body can be influenced by consumption of certain foods. Vitamin C, meat, fish and poultry can increase iron absorption, while calcium can inhibit iron absorption \n\n Symptoms that can occur in people with iron deficiency anemia include lethargy, weakness, tiredness, tiredness, and inattention (5L). \n\n The consequences of anemia itself include an increased risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, babies born prematurely, low birth weight, impaired growth and development, heart problems, and can reduce the quality of life in carrying out daily work. \n\n Things we can do to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia: \n\n \n Balanced nutritional diet. Foods that are rich sources of iron: liver, fish, meat and poultry. Fruits, especially those high in vitamin C, will increase iron absorption \n If you feel that your need for iron from food will not be sufficient, you can add iron supplements/blood supplement tablets. However, if your diet meets balanced nutrition, then iron supplementation is no longer needed \n \n\n Iron deficiency anemia is a disease that can be cured if treated appropriately. Please consult a specialist in internal medicine if Hermina's friends have complaints or conditions that might cause iron deficiency anemia. RSU Hermina Pandanaran has a specialist in internal medicine who can treat the symptoms of anemia that Hermina's friends are experiencing.

Take Care of Your Reproductive Health from an Early Age!<\/a><\/h3>
The reproductive organs are vital organs that humans have. The importance of maintaining this organ from an early age, starting during adolescence, is useful for a person's survival. The number of teenagers who have premarital sexual relations for the first time is quite high at the age of 15-20 years. This condition is worrying because it is accompanied by a lack of knowledge among teenagers regarding reproductive health and is at great risk of causing  problems with sexually transmitted diseases and cervical cancer. Having intimate relations at an early age, changing sexual partners, a weak immune system, and smoking are factors that trigger cervical cancer, apart from that, exposure to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the causes of cervical cancer. \n\n What is cervical cancer? \n\n Cervical cancer begins when cells in the cervix begin to change into precancerous cells. Not all precancerous cells will turn into cancer, but finding these precancerous cells through screening and treating them before they turn into cancer is very important. \n\n Signs and symptoms of cervical cancer \n\n Usually early stage cervical cancer does not cause symptoms and is difficult to detect. The first signs of cervical cancer may take several years to develop. Finding pre-cancerous cells during an examination is the best way to avoid cervical cancer. \n\n Signs and symptoms of early stage cervical cancer: \n\n \n The vaginal discharge is watery and sometimes mixed with blood and has a foul smell. \n Vaginal bleeding after intercourse, bleeding outside the menstrual cycle or after menopause. \n Menstruation that is more abundant and lasts longer than usual. \n \n\n If the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or organs, symptoms include: \n\n \n Pain and difficulty urinating, sometimes accompanied by blood in the urine. \n Pain or bleeding from the rectum and anus when defecating. \n Weakness, weight loss and appetite. \n Back pain or swelling in the legs. \n Pelvic/abdominal pain \n \n\n Causes of cervical cancer \n\n The HPV virus is the most frequent cause of cervical cancer, which is a sexually transmitted infection. HPV is spread through sexual contact (vaginal, anal or oral). Most people will contract HPV at some point in their lives and develop immunity. However, if the body cannot fight the infection, it can cause cervical cells to turn into cancer cells. \n\n Cervical cancer screening \n\n The goal of cervical cancer screening is to detect cell changes in the cervix before they become cancerous. There are several tests that can be done, namely: \n\n \n Pap smear test: Detects abnormal cells or precancerous lesions in the cervix. \n HPV Test: Detects high-risk types of HPV infection that cause cervical cancer. \n \n\n Doctors also recommend a combination Pap test/HPV test if you are over 30 years old. \n\n How to prevent cervical cancer? \n\n There are several ways to prevent cervical cancer, namely: \n\n \n Perform regular gynecological examinations and do Pap smears. \n HPV vaccination. \n Use a condom when having sex. \n Don't change partners. \n Quit smoking. \n \n\n What is the cervical cancer vaccine? \n\n The HPV vaccine can be given to children and adults aged 9 to 45 years. This vaccine triggers the body's immune system to attack certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It is best to get vaccinated before starting sexual activity. Vaccines are given in series. The number of injections required varies depending on the age at which you receive the first dose. To find out whether you are eligible to get the vaccine, you can consult a doctor. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Diabetes Patients Experience Diabetic Retinopathy, Can They Be Cured?<\/a><\/h3>
Diabetes mellitus is a disease that can attack all age groups. This condition is divided into two types, namely type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes mellitus occurs due to an autoimmune disease that causes the pancreas to be unable to produce insulin. Meanwhile, type 2 diabetes mellitus appears as an effect of unhealthy eating patterns because you cannot control the sugar intake that enters the body. \n\n Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disorder that occurs in people with diabetes. At first, diabetic retinopathy often shows only mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all. However, if left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications of diabetes. This complication causes blockage of the blood vessels in the retina of the eye. \n\n Causes of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n The retina is a layer at the back of the eye that is sensitive to light. The retina functions to convert light entering the eye into electrical signals which are then transmitted to the brain. In the brain, these electrical signals are perceived as images. To function properly, the retina requires a blood supply from the surrounding blood vessels. \n\n In diabetes sufferers, high blood sugar levels can cause gradual blockage of blood vessels so that blood supply to the retina is reduced. Blockage of the retina will trigger the formation of new blood vessels to meet blood needs. However, these new blood vessels do not develop completely so they are vulnerable to rupture or damage. \n\n Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy can vary, depending on the stage of the disease. In the early stages, patients may not feel any symptoms. However, as time goes by, some common symptoms that may appear include: \n\n \n Blurred or changing vision. \n Floating spots or dark patches in vision (floaters). \n Poor night vision. \n Empty or dark areas in the field of view. \n Loss of vision, if the disease enters an advanced stage. \n \n\n If you suffer from diabetes mellitus, have your eyes checked by a doctor regularly to ensure that your friend Hermina's vision is not problematic. Don't wait for the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy to get worse. Also, call your doctor if your vision is spotty or blurry. Pregnant women with diabetes are at great risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women with diabetes to undergo regular eye examinations. \n\n Prevention of Diabetic Retinopathy \n\n The way to prevent diabetic retinopathy is to prevent diabetes, namely by keeping blood sugar levels normal. Meanwhile, for diabetes sufferers, there are a number of efforts that can be taken to reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy: \n\n \n Monitor and record blood sugar levels several times a day, then report the results to your doctor during control. \n Consume foods with complete and balanced nutrition. \n Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. \n Limit your intake of sugar and saturated fat. \n Lose weight until you reach your body mass index (BMI). \n Do moderate intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, for at least 150 minutes every week. \n Use blood sugar control medication or insulin as directed by your doctor. \n Always be alert if you feel any changes in your vision. \n Stop smoking or consuming alcoholic drinks. \n Keep cholesterol and blood pressure levels normal. \n Have regular eye examinations, at least once a year. \n \n\n Diabetic retinopathy is a health threat that can potentially cause blindness. Management and early detection with routine screening can reduce the risk of vision loss for people with diabetes mellitus. Don't hesitate to ask questions and consult a doctor at RSU Hermina Pandanaran if you experience symptoms of diabetic retinopathy.

Experiencing cavities, should they be removed?<\/a><\/h3>
Cavities can cause aches or toothaches that may be unbearable. In addition, in some cases it can also lead to complications, ranging from infection, tooth abscess, sepsis, to tooth loss. Therefore, it is important to treat cavities most precisely in the following article. \n\n Various ways to deal with cavities can be done so that the holes in the teeth do not continue to grow and the accompanying symptoms can be overcome. Cavities are often marked by sensitive teeth and white or brown stains on the teeth. Cavities in the teeth are formed when plaque sticks to the outermost layer of teeth or enamel and a fermentation process occurs after 4 hours. Plaque is a sticky layer formed from food residue and bacteria. \n\n Cavities can occur due to a combination of several factors, such as consuming too much sweet intake, excessive snacking, or not cleaning your teeth properly and correctly. If Hermina's Friend has cavities, should they be extracted or filled, right? The main cavities treatment is filling. However, the final decision to fill or remove teeth will depend on the evaluation and consultation with the dentist. \n\n Cavities that can still be filled \nCavities that can be patched are those that have damage that is still limited to the outer surface or tooth enamel (enamel) and dentin. Usually, teeth that have minor to moderate damage can be patched and repaired without needing to be extracted. The following are examples of cases of cavities that can be patched: \n\n 1. Teeth with holes limited to enamel \n\n Fillings can be made on teeth with enamel caries. This condition occurs when tooth decay only reaches the surface layer of tooth enamel. The enamel layer is the outermost layer of the teeth. At this stage, the teeth can be permanently patched immediately. \n\n 2. Teeth with holes limited to dentin \n\n This condition occurs when the tooth decay has penetrated deeper into the dentin. At this stage, filling cavities with permanent fillings can still be done. \n\n However, if the damaged part of the dentin is too deep to approach the tooth pulp chamber, it needs to be treated first. If identified early, dentin damage can be repaired quickly with a patch. \n\n 3. Teeth with holes that have penetrated the pulp \n\n To find out whether a cavity that has reached the pulp can still be maintained or removed, depending on the results of clinical and supporting examinations after consultation with a dentist. \n\n In a tooth with a hole that has penetrated the pulp, this means that tooth damage has reached the nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels of the tooth, so a series of root canal treatments need to be carried out to preserve the tooth. \n\n Root canal treatment aims to remove all infected pulp tissue. In addition, this treatment will shape the root canal of the tooth which will eventually be filled with dental filling material. After that, new cavities can be patched permanently. \n\n 4. Abscess \n\n If an abscess has formed, the dentist will likely perform root canal treatment to remove the infection. In severe cases, the affected tooth may need to be completely extracted. \n\n Mentosa medication such as antibiotics can also be prescribed to help the healing process. This drug works to reduce bacterial infections that have already occurred. \n\n Cavities Conditions That Must Be Extracted \nTeeth that should be extracted are teeth that have very serious damage, such as damage to the root of the tooth, infection of the gums and bone or include facial deformity, or teeth that can no longer be repaired with fillings. The following are examples of cases of cavities that must be removed so that the condition does not get worse: \n\n 1. Large and Deep Cavities \n\n Tooth extraction is necessary if the tooth has a large and deep hole that reaches the pulp of the tooth, then penetrates again from the base of the pulp chamber to the branching of the tooth root (bifurcation). In this condition, the tooth cannot be treated anymore because the infection has spread to the bottom of the tooth. \n\n 2. Cavities Accompanied by Loosening \n\n In this condition, filling cavities will be in vain. The reason is, the teeth will still hurt because of the loose teeth, unless splinting therapy is carried out to stabilize the loose teeth. However, provided that the damage to the alveolar bone is not too severe and the tooth can still be filled. \n\n 3. Cavities only have roots left \n\n To find out whether Friends of Hermina's cavities need to be removed or simply filled, you can see this condition too. If you have a cavity and only the root remains of the tooth, it is better to remove it so as not to cause infection. \n\n 4. Cavities in Wisdom Molars that Grow Oblique \nTooth extraction needs to be done in conditions where the wisdom teeth are hollow, and the growth is tilted. This is important to prevent damage to the adjacent teeth. \n\n If the tooth is not removed immediately and only a filling is carried out in these conditions, the tooth can experience further infection. This condition will endanger the health of your teeth and body. \n\n 5. Cavities are located near abnormal tissue \n\n Abnormal growths can occur anywhere on the body, including the inside of the mouth. If you experience cavities that are located close to abnormal tissue, chances are the tooth needs to be removed. It is feared that cavities are at risk of infection and endanger health, moreover there are tissues that grow abnormally. \n\n 6. Cavities occur in overlapping teeth \n\n Sometimes teeth can grow in areas where they shouldn't, for example, adjacent to other teeth. This condition causes the condition of uneven teeth aka messy. Apart from reducing the appearance of the teeth, this condition of the teeth can also cause discomfort, for example rubbing against the inside of the mouth, making it easy to get mouth ulcers. \n\n If a tooth that grows in this inappropriate location also has a cavity, the doctor may recommend removing it. \n\n It is important for Friends of Hermina to have a dentist check-up every six months, so that caries/cavities can be detected early and further tooth damage can be prevented.

Gallstones Disappear, Invisible Incision With Laparoscopic<\/a><\/h3>
Gallstones or known as cholelithiasis is a medical condition of a person caused by the formation of the gallbladder in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small human organ that is located on the right side of the abdomen and just below the liver. The gallbladder produces and stores bile which functions in a person's digestive process. Digesting cholesterol in the body is the main task of the gallbladder and is one of the important organs in the human body because gallstones are formed from hardened cholesterol deposits. \n\n Until now, it is not known what causes gallstones to form. However, there are several factors that put a person at risk of developing gallstones. Some of these factors include pregnancy, obesity, unhealthy diet, diabetes, and certain conditions such as anemia, leukemia, and liver disease. The number of gallstones that sufferers have varies, it can be just one, it can also be several. They also vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as big as a golf ball. \n\n When Is Gallstone Surgery Necessary? \n\n Someone who has gallstones usually feels stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, shoulder pain, back pain between the shoulder blades and has a high fever. Treatment for gallstones will be adjusted to the patient's condition and the type, location and size of gallstones. Specifically, gallstones that are considered large require surgery if their size reaches 5 cm or more. However, even small gallstones, if there are many of them, triggering severe symptoms, or blocking the bile/pancreatic ducts are often not enough to be treated with conservative therapy, such as through dietary modifications, lifestyle, and drugs alone. So, it is not only size that is used as a reference in determining the best treatment. \n\n One treatment that can be done to treat gallstone pain is by performing a laparoscopy. Laparoscopic gallstone surgery is the removal of the stones and gallbladder through several small incisions, approximately 0.5 to 1 cm. Not all patients with gallstones can do laparoscopy, for example someone who has previously had surgery in the area around the gallbladder because of the risk of bleeding. However, if the patient has never had surgery in the area of gallstones, it is recommended to do a laparoscopy because laparoscopic surgery has several advantages compared to conventional surgery. \n\n Advantages of Operation with Laparoscopy \n\n Gallstone surgery with laparoscopy is an action by making a small wound in the form of an incision in the abdomen to remove the bladder and gallstones. The advantages of performing laparoscopic gallstone surgery are: \n\n \n Small surgical scar \n Pain is lighter after surgery \n Minimal bleeding \n Shorter hospital stay \n The recovery period is faster compared to laparotomy surgery \n \n\n Before performing laparoscopic gallstone surgery \n\n Before performing laparoscopic surgery for gallstones, the patient carries out several examinations, namely carrying out a thorough physical examination including carrying out blood checks and x-rays. Other preparations made by the patient are: \n\n \n Do not eat or drink several hours before surgery \n Take a shower using an antiseptic soap \n Drink water 2 hours before laparoscopy \n Consuming laxatives to clean feces in the intestines \n Do not use jewelry during treatment \n \n\n Gallstone Surgery Procedure with Laparascopy \n\n Before undergoing surgery, the doctor performs general anesthesia so that the patient cannot feel pain during the operation. Digestive surgeons perform surgical procedures by making small incisions in the patient's abdomen. In one of the incisions the doctor inserts a camera to observe the location of the gallstones and in the other incision the doctor will cut and remove the gallbladder. \n\n After performing gallstone laparoscopic surgery \n\n Laparoscopic gallstone surgery does not require a long recovery time. Healing after performing laparoscopic surgery generally lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. If the patient undergoes conventional surgery, the patient's recovery can last longer. \n\n Hermina friends who have complaints about gallstones can consult with a specialist in digestive surgery at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.

STROKE Therapy With Bobath Exercise Approach<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke management requires appropriate therapy to provide the best results for patients, from neurologists to medical rehabilitation doctors. This is because a stroke that occurs due to a blockage in the blood vessels of the brain or bleeding in the brain can affect many other organs because the brain is a nerve center. Management of the golden period in stroke attacks must be continued until the therapy process for the patient. Bobath therapy is a type of therapy that can be applied in the recovery of stroke patients. \n\n Get to know Bobath Therapy \nImpaired movement and body function can reduce the quality of human life. Among adults, stroke is the main factor triggering the disorder. Stroke patients often lose the ability to balance in their activities and limited the movement of a number of their limbs, especially the hands and feet. For example, stroke patients cannot hold a pencil, wear their own clothes, and even get out of bed by themselves. In the treatment of stroke, Bobath therapy can be used to overcome this problem. \n\n Bobath therapy is also often referred to as Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT). Stroke patients have limited movement patterns. Therefore, in the treatment of stroke using Bobath therapy, the patient will be guided to relearn certain movements gradually and repeatedly until a normal pattern is formed. The patient is taught to master each particular movement before moving on to another. \n\n The more movement exercises, the more patterns are formed so that the patient's overall body function will improve. Bobath therapy aims to prevent patients from developing abnormal self-movement patterns. If you have mastered normal patterns, it is hoped that the patient will be able to carry out daily activities better so that his quality of life is maintained. \n\n Bobath Therapy Goals: \n\n Improved posture, coordination and movement \nReduces stiffness in muscles \nOptimizing and modifying functional capabilities \nReducing pain \nAchieve independence \nImprove quality of life \n\n Bobath Therapy Procedure \n\n The form of stroke treatment with Bobath therapy depends on the condition of each patient. The medical team will use the results of the examination that identify the symptoms experienced by the patient as a basis for determining a therapy program. The essence of this therapy is to train patients to learn certain movement patterns according to their needs. \n\n So the medical team will first examine the patient's condition to find out the limitations of movement due to the stroke he has experienced. In general, there are three methods used in Bobath therapy, namely facilitation, stimulation, and stabilization. \n\n In facilitation, the patient is guided to master the movement patterns needed to do something. For example, sitting before lying down. Patients will be taught how to control posture from lying down to being able to sit perfectly. \n\n The stimulation is the stimulation given in verbal and non-verbal form to the patient when practicing the movement. For example, the therapist gives verbal stimulation in the form of cues. Meanwhile, non-verbal stimulation includes pats or pressure on the limbs of the patient being trained. Meanwhile, stabilization is a method to achieve balance so that the movement is more stable. \n\n Types & Cases That Can Be Treated With Bobath Therapy \n\n \n Post stroke \n After head injury \n Post-infection/brain tumor \n Parkinson's (Degenerative Nervous Disease) \n Dementia (Decreased mental abilities such as memory impairment and attention deficit disorder, other neurological disorders). \n \n\n RSU Hermina Pandanaran already has a bobath therapy facility with physiotherapists who are experts in their fields. In determining patient therapy, according to recommendations from neurologists and medical rehabilitation.

Facts About Skin Asthma or Atopic Dermatitis You Need to Know<\/a><\/h3>
Maybe Hermina's friends are familiar with asthma for breathing, but what about skin asthma? This term is not yet well known by the public because the term eczema or atopic dermatitis is more often used for this type of skin disease. \n\n The incidence of atopic dermatitis is increasing, especially in children. Therefore, it is very important to know everything about this one skin disease. Check out the full review below : \n\n   \n\n What is skin asthma ? \n\n Actually, this disease is no different from atopic dermatitis, which is a condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, and inflamed. 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.

How to Treat a Frozen Shoulder<\/a><\/h3>
Frozen shoulder, in medical language, is called adhesive capsulitis. It is a condition that greatly interferes with the activities of the sufferer. This condition is the result of inflammation that occurs in the covering of the joints, which causes the joints to become stiff or frozen. So that the joint cannot move freely according to the range of motion of the joint. It doesn't freeze immediately; usually the symptoms that appear at the beginning are soreness, until it finally becomes stiff enough that it can't be moved. The frozen or freezing phase lasts 6–9 months. If it is not treated immediately, it will cause the shoulder to be unable to move at all, or the frozen phase of the frozen shoulder. \n\n Frozen Shoulder Causes and Risk factors \nMedically, it cannot be explained in detail what causes a frozen shoulder. But we can still identify the risk factors that cause frozen shoulders. Frozen shoulder often occurs in patients in their late 40s to early 50s. In addition, frozen shoulders are often found in patients with diabetes. A frozen shoulder may also occur in patients with a history of acute or chronic injury. \n\n Can frozen shoulders be cured? \nFrozen shoulder is a disease that can heal by itself. Usually within 24 months, this disease can heal itself as long as the damage that occurs is not too severe. However, the recovery for each patient is different; usually the patient will be identified first, whether he is still in the freezing phase, has entered the stowing phase, or has entered the improved phase. \n\n Frozen Shoulder Treatment \nIn order to be treated, of course, we must know in advance whether the condition experienced is frozen shoulder or another shoulder disease. If you have been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder, then the treatment is Physiotherapy. Physical problems, the medicine is physical exercise, so the doctor will provide physical exercises such as ROM (Range Of Motion). If within 3 months there is no change and even worse, then surgery is needed. \n\n If Hermina's friend experiences a shoulder condition that makes it difficult to move or the movement is not as good as before, then you may be given anti-pain medication such as paracetamol, but you should not order it first to avoid the severity that occurs. Consult the nearest doctor first to find out more clearly about the shoulder disease you are experiencing. Or you may immediately consult an orthopedic doctor to get further treatment. Early identification will improve future outcomes. Healing is faster, so returning to activity is also faster. Old management, let alone a new one, will prolong healing as well. \n\n Friends of Hermina, see a complete explanation about Frozen Shoulder on the Hermina Podcast episode with dr. Herjuno Ardhi, Sp, OT (click here) \n\n   \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Benefits of Routine Physiotherapy to Help Stroke Patients Recovery<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is reduced or disrupted as a result of a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). Strokes can occur suddenly and must be treated immediately. Without a blood supply, the brain will not get enough oxygen and nutrients, so cells in some areas of the brain will not function (die). \n\n   \n\n Symptoms and Causes of Stroke \n\n Stroke generally occurs in a part of the body that is controlled by the area of the brain that is damaged. Symptoms that are commonly experienced by stroke sufferers include: \n\n \n Weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis) \n Weakness in the facial muscles that makes one side of the face droop \n Difficulty raising both arms due to weakness or numbness \n Difficulty speaking \n Dysarthria \n Tingling \n Difficulty recognizing faces (prosopagnosia) \n \n\n The causes of stroke are generally divided into two: the first is due to a blood clot in a blood vessel in the brain, and the second is caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. \n\n Stroke Healing \n\n Stroke management is carried out according to the type of stroke the patient is currently experiencing. Actions that can be taken range from the administration of drugs to physiotherapy and surgery. To support the recovery process of stroke patients, doctors will usually recommend physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychological therapy. This all aims to restore the patient's body functions so that they can return to their normal activities. \n\n   \n\n Physiotherapy Benefits \n\n Some of the benefits that Friends of Hermina can get from post-stroke physiotherapy treatment \n\n \n Reduce pain \n \n\n Not only do they have difficulty carrying out their daily activities, but stroke sufferers will also experience more pain. By doing physiotherapy, the pain will gradually improve, and it is hoped that this will relieve the pain. To overcome this pain, the therapist will use therapy using electrical stimulation, ultrasound, heat therapy, and others, depending on needs. \n\n \n Overcome muscle stiffness \n \n\n Several studies have proven that spasticity, or muscle stiffness, can be cured with physiotherapy. The doctor will evaluate the patient's condition and then determine what therapy program is suitable. The doctor will give advice regarding the lifestyle that must be followed, including an effective diet pattern to deal with muscle stiffness. \n\n \n Increase the ability to move the body \n \n\n One of the things that usually happens in stroke patients is the ability to move the body, such as walking, standing, smiling, moving hands, eating, talking, and others. By doing physiotherapy, this problem will gradually improve, and it is hoped that it will recover as before. Friends of Hermina can get physiotherapy at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize the Right Way to Overcome Toothache!<\/a><\/h3>
In some people toothache often occurs when eating ice cream, consuming hot tea, or when brushing their teeth. These complaints are generally caused by sensitive teeth. Toothache due to sensitive teeth occurs when the underlying layer of the teeth (dentin) is exposed. This makes the roots of the teeth which have thousands of small nerves more easily exposed to various stimuli, such as hot, cold, sweet or sour food or drinks. \n\n Causes of Sensitive Teeth \n\n Sensitive or easily aching teeth can be caused by many things. The following are some of the causes of toothache which occur quite often: \n\n \n The habit of brushing your teeth too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush \n Gingivitis or pulled gums \n Teeth with cavities, cracks, fractures, or habitual grinding of teeth \n Side effects of certain procedures on teeth, such as teeth whitening and teeth  crown  installation \n Long term use of mouthwash \n Plaque buildup on teeth \n Consumption of foods and drinks that are too sour or sweet \n Gastric acid reflux disease (GERD) \n \n\n Risk factors for sensitive teeth \n\n Although it can happen to anyone, there are several factors that can increase a person's risk of experiencing sensitive teeth, namely: \n\n \n Smoke \n Often consume soft drinks \n Rarely clean and do not maintain healthy teeth and mouth \n \n\n Sensitive Teeth Symptoms \n\n Someone who has sensitive teeth will feel pain and aches. In addition to the sensation of pain and aches, other symptoms that can appear include: \n\n \n Bad breath (Halitosis) \n Changes in taste sensation in the mouth \n Gum shrinkage \n Redness and swelling in the gums \n \n\n How to Overcome Sensitive Teeth \n\n Going to the dentist is the first step you can take if your teeth ache. The doctor will detect the cause of toothache based on a history of complaints, symptoms experienced, and examination results. \n\n 1. Use toothpaste specifically for sensitive teeth \n\n Toothpaste specifically for sensitive teeth contains certain formulas that are able to inhibit or reduce toothache or pain. However, the toothpaste needs to be used several times until complaints of toothache can be resolved. \n\n 2. Flouride treatment \n\n Fluoride treatment can be done by applying fluoride gel to the outermost layer of the teeth to strengthen the protective layer of teeth (enamel). If the layers of the teeth strengthen, complaints of toothache can subside. \n\n 3. Teeth bonding \n\n This procedure is carried out by attaching certain materials, usually in the form of resin, to the exposed or exposed root surface of the tooth. If Hermina's friend undergoes a teeth bonding procedure to treat cavities, the doctor generally gives local anesthesia. \n\n 4. Gum surgery \n\n Tooth roots that have lost the gum lining can cause teeth to ache. The solution that can be done to overcome the condition is gum surgery. The doctor will take gum from another part to attach it to the missing part. \n\n 5. Root canal treatment (root canal treatment) \n\n Root canal treatment is done by treating the core or pulp of the tooth. This method is generally used when other types of treatment are ineffective in dealing with aching teeth or the pain that Friends of Hermina is experiencing is unbearable. \n\n   \n\n Tips for Preventing Sensitive Teeth \n\n In order for the teeth to be free from the feeling of pain due to sensitive teeth when consuming various types of food or drinks, Hermina's best friend must maintain healthy teeth and mouth. The following are some ways you can do to prevent aching teeth or sensitive teeth: \n\n 1. Brush your teeth regularly \n\n Brushing your teeth 2 times a day with a soft bristle brush and toothpaste that contains flouride is the simplest way to keep your teeth clean and healthy. Avoid brushing your teeth too hard, especially around the gum line, to prevent injury to the gums. After brushing your teeth, use dental floss to clean food residue stuck between your teeth. \n\n 2. Avoid grinding your teeth \n\n The habit of grinding your teeth over time can make your teeth brittle and sensitive. If Hermina's friend has this habit, try wearing a mouth guard, especially when sleeping. \n\n 3. Pay attention to the food and drinks consumed \n\n Limit consumption of acidic foods and drinks, such as soda, yogurt, tomatoes and oranges, as well as foods or drinks that contain lots of sugar. Acidic or sweet foods and drinks can erode tooth enamel, exposing the dentin to the teeth. \n\n If Hermina's friend wants to drink soda or other acidic drinks, use a straw so that the liquid doesn't get on your teeth. After that, drink water to normalize the acid levels in the mouth. \n\n Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after consuming foods and drinks that contain acid or sugar. Wait about 30 minutes beforehand. The acid makes tooth enamel softer and easier to erode when brushed. \n\n 4. Check your teeth regularly to the dentist \n\n Apart from brushing your teeth regularly and limiting consumption of acidic foods, Sahabat Hermina also needs to have your teeth checked by the dentist every 6 months or according to the schedule recommended by the dentist. \n\n Routine care and maintaining dental hygiene are the main keys to preventing toothache due to sensitive teeth. If Hermina's friends still feel aching teeth even though they have done some of the tips above, immediately consult a complaint to the dentist at the specialist dental clinic at RSU Hermina Pandanaran. \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Male circumcision: when is the right time?<\/a><\/h3>
Many already know that, apart from being obligatory for Muslim men, circumcision has many health benefits, such as preventing urinary tract infections and phimosis, or pain on the head of the penis due to the foreskin or the scalp of the penis, which is firmly attached to the head of the penis. In addition, circumcision can also reduce the occurrence of penile cancer and, of course, make the health of the penis better. Besides that, infection can also inhibit the growth of a child's weight, so that it is not in accordance with the development of his age. \n\n   \n\n What is the right age for circumcision? \n\n Many parents are afraid their children will be circumcised when they are babies, or even vice versa. Actually, there is no standard age at which it is right to perform circumcision. However, on the medical side, it's actually better if it's done earlier because healing will be faster. Children are still not very active, so most don't need general anesthesia. \n\n   \n\n Myth or Fact: do circumcised children grow bigger or taller faster? \n\n Circumcision is simply the act of removing the foreskin, or prepuce, of the scalp of the penis. There are no specific hormones that trigger weight gain or height. In Indonesia, the average male circumcision is at the age of pre-puberty, around the age of 8–9 years, so it seems as if it makes the child look bigger and taller after being circumcised. \n\n   \n\n What should parents pay attention to after a child is circumcised? \n\n Of course, parents must maintain the cleanliness of the postoperative area so that infection does not occur. Avoid exposure to water for about 4–5 days. The wound will usually dry in 4-5 days. During this time, parents will be given education on how to treat surgical scars, such as by applying ointment. It is recommended that children be given nutritious food with high protein content to accelerate the wound healing process after surgery. \n\n   \n\n So, there is no reason for fathers and mothers to delay their little one from having a circumcision. Because there are so many benefits. It would be better if the circumcision procedure was carried out in consultation with an expert, such as a pediatric surgeon. \n\n   \n\n Watch the Hermina Podcast episode about the full benefits of circumcision from Dr. Nanok Edi Susilo, Sp. BA, on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel (Click Here). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
