Getting to Know Varicose Veins, Aesthetic or Medical Problem?<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, varises merupakan penyakit yang sering ditangani oleh dokter bedah vaskular dan endovaskular. Saat ini banyak sekali pasien varises yang datang berobat namun kondisinya sudah parah. \n\n Varises diketahui dengan gejala seperti nyeri pada betis, gatal pada kaki, kulit kaki kering dan rusak, bengkak setelah duduk atau berdiri dalam waktu lama, dan perjalanan jauh; pembuluh darah terlihat di kaki; kulit hitam di betis dan kaki; bahkan yang paling parah pun bisa menyebabkan luka di sekitar varises yang tidak kunjung sembuh. \n\n Varises adalah suatu kondisi kronis dimana terjadi pelebaran pembuluh darah di sekitar kaki akibat kelemahan atau kerusakan pada katup arteri atau vena. Katup ini berfungsi sebagai pintu satu arah sehingga darah yang melewatinya tidak bisa kembali. \n\n Beberapa faktor yang dapat meningkatkan risiko seseorang terkena varises adalah jenis kelamin (kebanyakan wanita), kurangnya aktivitas fisik atau olahraga, sering duduk atau berdiri dalam waktu lama, faktor genetik, kehamilan, obesitas, dan kebiasaan memakai sepatu hak tinggi. \n\n Varises tidak boleh dianggap sepele dan harus ditangani dengan baik. Jika kondisi ini sudah terjadi bertahun-tahun, gangguan aliran darah pada pembuluh darah vena berpotensi menimbulkan komplikasi, seperti tromboflebitis, kaki menjadi tidak stabil, kulit kaki menjadi hitam, pembuluh darah di kaki menjadi lebar dan berliku-liku, serta koreng dan luka yang tidak bisa dihilangkan. penyembuhan, infeksi, penyumbatan pembuluh darah internal (DVT), dan emboli paru, yang dapat menyebabkan kematian \n\n Apakah varises bisa diobati? \n\n Varises dapat sembuh dan membaik jika ditangani dengan pengobatan yang tepat dan dokter yang tepat. Perawatan varises saat ini dapat mencakup menjaga aktivitas, mengurangi berat badan, olahraga, stoking medis, pengobatan, suntikan skleroterapi, dan perawatan non-operatif atau endovaskular seperti laser, frekuensi radio, lem, dan pembedahan. \n\n Saat ini, prosedur non-operatif atau endovaskular berupa ablasi laser, ablasi frekuensi radio, ablasi gelombang mikro, atau lem vocular merupakan prosedur yang paling disukai karena prosedur ini lebih nyaman, luka operasi hanya sebesar jarum suntik, dan pasien dapat melakukan aktivitas normal sehari setelah prosedur. \n\n Sahabat Hermina, segera konsultasikan pada diri Anda jika mengalami gejala varises seperti di atas. Pergi ke departemen bedah vaskular. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Difficulty defecating could be an early symptom of colon cancer<\/a><\/h3>
Susah buang air besar bisa jadi merupakan gejala awal kanker usus besar \n\n Usus merupakan organ dalam sistem pencernaan yang memiliki banyak fungsi. Salah satunya dengan menyimpan feses sebelum dikeluarkan melalui anus. Frekuensi buang air besar atau besar bisa dikaitkan dengan banyak penyakit, salah satunya kanker usus besar. Bahkan ada yang mengatakan bahwa susah buang air besar merupakan salah satu gejala awal kanker usus besar. \n\n Usus besar mempunyai fungsi sebagai tempat pembuangan kandungan elektrolit yang belum tercerna dalam tubuh dan menjadi tempat pembuangan akhir limbah sehingga mudah dikeluarkan dari dalam tubuh. Bagian usus besar yaitu sekum dan rektum berfungsi sebagai tempat menyimpan feses sebelum keluar melalui anus saat buang air besar. \n\n Usus besar terhubung ke rektum dan anus. Fungsinya untuk menyerap air pada feses yang akan dikeluarkan. Pada kondisi ini, awalnya terbentuk polip atau benjolan kecil jinak yang kemudian berkembang menjadi kanker. \n\n Beberapa gejala yang dialami ketika menderita kanker jenis ini adalah: \n\n \n Kotoran berdarah. \n Kesulitan atau lebih sering buang air besar. \n Perut kembung dan kram. \n Badan terasa lemas dan berat badan menurun. \n \n\n Frekuensi buang air besar setiap orang berbeda-beda. Ada yang tiga kali sehari, bahkan ada yang tiga kali seminggu. Kedua frekuensi ini masih dianggap normal. Namun, kebanyakan orang akan buang air besar satu kali sehari. Masalahnya, bila frekuensi buang air besar kurang dari tiga kali dalam seminggu, berarti Anda sedang mengalami sembelit atau yang disebut dengan sembelit. \n\n Hingga saat ini, penyebab pastinya belum diketahui. Para ahli percaya bahwa perkembangan sel kanker terjadi karena mutasi DNA pada sel sehat. Orang yang memiliki kebiasaan mengonsumsi makanan tinggi lemak jenuh, daging merah, daging olahan, dan alkohol berlebihan berisiko tinggi terkena kanker usus besar dan kolorektal. \n\n Gejala awal kanker usus besar, selain mengalami sembelit dan diare bergantian, antara lain: \n\n \n \n \n Perasaan buang air besar yang tidak lengkap \n Kotoran berdarah \n Bengkak \n Ada benjolan di perut \n Sakit di bagian tengah perut \n Menurunkan berat badan tanpa alasan \n Perubahan konsistensi tinja \n Kram yang terjadi pada perut. \n \n \n \n\n Selain gejala awal kanker usus besar di atas, Anda juga harus memperhatikan tanda-tanda feses yang tidak normal, misalnya berbentuk cair, tekstur terlalu keras, BAB sulit, warnanya hitam, berbentuk seperti feses kambing, atau BAB berdarah. Semua itu sebenarnya merupakan tanda-tanda yang sudah diberikan oleh tubuh, sehingga sebaiknya segera memeriksakan diri ke dokter. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Alert! Tooth Infections can Cause Death<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, In August last year, social media X and Tiktok were shocked by a viral post about a patient who died due to a tooth infection after undergoing intensive treatment in the ICU for 28 days. According to the @TrinityTraveler account, initially the uploader's friend (patient) complained of pain in a cavity, then swelling appeared on the cheek which extended to the neck and chest. The patient was then diagnosed with Descending Necrotizing Medistinitis (DNM). What is the medical explanation for this disease? the following is the discussion.\n\nDental infection or commonly referred to as odontogenic infection is an infection caused by bacteria which causes the formation of pus pockets (abscesses) around the teeth. Odontogenic infections most often occur due to cavities, periodontal disease (disease of the gums and bone supporting teeth), and teeth that grow crookedly (impacted). In cavities, bacteria can enter under the root of the tooth and colonize, causing the formation of an abscess. Abscesses that are initially small can slowly enlarge and cause swelling of the cheek and neck. Apart from that, abscesses can also spread down into the chest cavity and cause Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis (DNM). \n\n DNM is a very aggressive and life-threatening infection. In DNM, there is massive inflammation and tissue decay in the chest cavity (mediastinum), where this area is close to various vital organs of the body such as the heart, lungs, large blood vessels and nerves. The death rate due to DNM can be said to be quite high, namely around 40 percent of all cases. Apart from dental infections, DNM can also occur due to infections in the throat area, sinusitis and infections of the cervical spine. Some of the symptoms of DNM include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, hoarseness, fever and swelling and redness of the cheeks, neck and chest. DNM treatment is usually carried out through surgery by cleaning the pus that has collected from the oral cavity, neck and chest cavity. Apart from that, tooth extraction is usually carried out to remove the source of infection. Patients with DNM are also usually treated in the ICU because the surgical procedures performed are very massive and require intensive monitoring. \n\n Because DNM is a serious disease and can result in death, it is important for us to be more aware of this disease. One way to prevent DNM caused by odontogenic infections is to regularly maintain oral hygiene. The following are tips for maintaining oral hygiene to avoid DNM:\n1. Brush your teeth regularly, at least twice a day, morning and evening\n2. Regularly check your teeth and mouth at the nearest dentist, at least once every 6 months\n3. If you have cavities, grow crookedly or loosely, immediately consult a dentist for filling, scaling or tooth extraction.\n4. If there are signs of odontogenic infection such as swelling of the cheeks, especially causing shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and fever, immediately consult a dentist who specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the nearest hospital. \n\n That is a brief explanation of dental infections that can cause DNM. Dental infections, which are often underestimated, can actually cause serious complications and even death. So, from now on, let's check the condition of our teeth and mouth regularly at the Dentist, so that our teeth and mouth are healthy and avoid complications from more serious diseases.\n\nDrg. Arbi Wijaya, Sp.BMM\nOral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Specialist at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital\nTeaching Staff at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, FKG UI \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize the Severe Symptoms of Dengue Fever that You Should Be Aware of<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, Dengue fever can be divided into two types, namely dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever. The difference lies in the leakage of blood vessels. Dengue hemorrhagic fever causes blood vessel leakage, while dengue fever does not.\nDengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an infectious disease caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito which carries the dengue virus. Other types of Aedes mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, Aedes polynesiensis, and Aedes scutellaris can also be vectors of the dengue virus but are not as effective as Aedes aegypti. When a person is infected with the dengue virus due to an Aedes Aegypti mosquito bite, the virus will move to that person's body and incubate for a long time. 4 to 10 days and then causes symptoms of infection. \n\n Symptoms of dengue fever\n\nThe symptoms of dengue fever can indeed be seen as something that is "deceptive", because the initial symptoms are very similar to the symptoms caused by other viruses. In general, a person will experience signs of dengue fever within 4 - 6 days after being infected by the dengue virus.\n\nA person affected by dengue fever will experience a sudden high fever reaching a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius. Apart from fever, dengue fever sufferers can experience severe headaches, muscle aches, nausea and heartburn, signs of bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and red spots appearing on the skin.\n\nFever mainly lasts in the first 1 - 2 days, and will go down on day 3. However, between day 3 to day 5 when the fever is going down, this is actually the critical period for dengue fever, where fluid leaks from the blood vessels. which is accompanied by a decrease in platelet values, requiring fluid therapy and close observation. \n\n Symptoms of Severe DHF\n\nIt is not uncommon for dengue fever to cause fatalities due to late treatment. Moreover, if the dengue fever patient has entered a dangerous severe phase.\n\nTo prevent complications from this disease, you need to know the signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever.\n\nThe following are signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever that you need to be aware of early:\n\n1. Severe weakness and restlessness\n2. Decreased consciousness\n3. Hypotension (low or decreasing blood pressure)\n4. Both hands and feet feel cold\n5. Severe stomach pain\n6. Continuous vomiting or black vomit\n7. Difficulty breathing\n8. Bleeding\n\nLaboratory results show an increase in hematocrit or hemoconcentration of more than 20% from the initial value, along with a rapid decrease in platelet count below 100,000 \n\n X-ray results showed a buildup of fluid in the lungs\nRecognizing the signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever early is very important. Dengue fever that is considered severe can affect the blood vessels and lymph vessels, and if not treated early can cause circulatory system failure.\nIt needs to be understood that severe dengue fever is a life-threatening medical emergency, so this method of treating Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever needs to be done immediately. \n\n Dengue prevention\nHow to prevent dengue fever (DHF) at home. As previously explained, dengue hemorrhagic fever, aka DHF, is transmitted through the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with the dengue virus. If not treated properly, patients are at risk of experiencing dengue fever complications which can be fatal. It is important to prevent dengue fever so that you avoid this risk. Maybe you yourself are very familiar with the dengue fever (DHF) prevention slogan which reads 3M: drain, cover and bury. However, the principle of preventing dengue fever is not just that. The most important way is to ensure that you are not bitten by the Aedes aegypti mosquito to avoid transmitting dengue fever. This can be done by keeping the environment clean, as well as using mosquito repellents to prevent them from breeding in the house \n\n 1. Apply 3M Plus (Drain, Cover, Recycle. Plus prevents mosquito bites and breeding)\n2. Install screens and mosquito nets to prevent dengue mosquitoes from entering the house\n3. Don't pile or hang clothes for too long. Do you have the habit of putting off folding the laundry and letting it just pile up? If not, are you used to hanging clothes behind the door, or piling dirty laundry in the corner of the room? It is best to stop this habit as a preventive measure for dengue fever\n4. Wear closed clothing when leaving the house, you will be more susceptible to being bitten by Aedes mosquitoes in the morning and evening\n5. Fogging\n6. Plant mosquito repellent plants such as lemongrass, lavender, zodia and others\n7. DHF vaccination \n\n That is an explanation of the symptoms of dengue fever and several ways that can be done to prevent dengue fever. Starting from regularly cleaning or draining water reservoirs, to installing mosquito nets. Apart from that, several other methods can also be used to maximize dengue prevention. One of them is that wearing closed clothes when leaving the house will make you more susceptible to being bitten by Aedes mosquitoes in the morning and evening.\nDHF is difficult to detect from the start, therefore if Hermina Friends experience typical symptoms of DHF such as red spots on the skin or a number of other symptoms, immediately consult a doctor at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know about keloids and various therapy options<\/a><\/h3>
Hello friend Hermina, Keloids are abnormal wound healing characterized by excessive growth of connective tissue beyond the size of the wound. The appearance of a keloid is a hard lump on the skin, irregular in shape, red, purplish to brown in color. Complaints often include itching, pain and a feeling of pulling on the skin. Areas on the body where keloids often occur include the cheeks, earlobes, chest, shoulders, upper arms and shoulders. \nThe risk factors for keloids in a person are mainly due to genetic factors. Other factors include infected wounds that are not treated promptly, suturing wounds with high stretches of the skin and using the wrong type of thread. Keloids appear 3-12 months after injuries such as acne scars, chicken pox, tattoo or piercing scars, and surgical scars. \n\n Keloids are generally not dangerous, but they affect your appearance and reduce your self-confidence. As science and technology develop, keloid therapy also develops and provides satisfactory results. The recurrence rate of keloids in some cases is also high, so a combination of therapy and repeat therapy are often required. \n\n \n\n Some therapy options for keloids include: \n\n 1. Compression therapy is by pressing the keloid using a silicone gel sheet, which is usually attached to the keloid for 12-24 hours a day. \n\n 2. Topical therapy in the form of topical medication containing mitomycin C or 5 fluorouracil (5FU) for keloids. \n\n 3. Intralesional corticosteroid injections or injections are the most frequently used therapy and provide quite satisfactory results. Some side effects that are often found include changes in skin color around the keloid. This injection is routinely repeated every 2-3 weeks until the keloid is deflated. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection is the newest therapy aimed at reducing tension in the muscles, so it is useful for reducing pain, redness and itching. This injection is usually repeated every 2-3 months. Stem cell injection has also been carried out in several keloid cases and has given satisfactory results. \n\n 4. Surgical Therapy \nExcision surgery is usually performed on large keloids, all keloid tissue is removed and then sutured. After the keloid is excised, additional therapy is needed to prevent recurrence, such as using silicone gel or a combination of injection therapy. \nFrozen surgery or cryotherapy using temperatures of -4 to -7 degrees Celsius aims to destroy keloid tissue. \n\n \n5. Lasers \nLaser is useful for reducing the size of keloids and has the advantage of repairing tissue and pigmentation on the skin, so it can disguise scars. Several types of lasers that are often used in keloid therapy include NdYag Laser, Fractional CO2 Laser, and Pulse Dye Laser (PDL). This laser procedure also requires repetition to get maximum results. \n\n If Hermina's friend has keloids, consult your friend so they can immediately get the right therapy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Benefits of Exercise for Skin<\/a><\/h3>
Exercise not only helps maintain the health of organs in our body, such as the heart, but also has extraordinary benefits for our skin. Regular and consistent physical activity can strengthen the skin's ability to fight aging and other types of damage.\n\nOne of the main benefits of exercise for the skin is increased blood flow. When we exercise, our heart rate increases, and blood flow throughout the body increases. This means more oxygen and nutrients are brought to our skin. This oxygen and nutrition is important for repairing damaged skin cells and speeding up the skin regeneration process. In other words, exercise can help our skin stay healthy and bright.\n\nApart from that, exercise can also help reduce stress. When we exercise, our bodies produce endorphins, hormones that can improve mood and reduce stress. Excessive stress can cause various skin problems, such as acne, rashes and dull skin. By reducing stress through exercise, we can prevent the appearance of these skin problems and keep our skin healthy.\n\nPhysical activity can also increase collagen production in our body. Collagen is a protein that is important for skin strength, suppleness and elasticity. As we age, collagen production in our bodies tends to decrease, which can lead to sagging skin and wrinkles. By exercising regularly, we can stimulate collagen production in our body, so that our skin remains firm and youthful.\n\nApart from that, exercise also helps eliminate toxins from the body through sweat. When we exercise and sweat, toxins and other harmful substances are removed from our body through the pores of the skin. This helps cleanse the skin from within and prevents skin problems such as acne and blackheads.\n\nIn conclusion, exercise is not only beneficial for the health of the organs in our body, but also has significant benefits for our skin. Regular physical activity can strengthen the skin's ability to fight aging and other damage, improve blood flow, reduce stress, increase collagen production, and help eliminate toxins from the body. Therefore, don't forget to incorporate exercise in your daily routine to keep your skin healthy and radiant. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This is the Importance of Pneumonia Vaccination for Adults<\/a><\/h3>
Pneumonia is an infection of the lung tissue that can be caused by bacteria or viruses. There are three main symptoms of pneumonia, including shortness of breath, fever, and cough. In severe conditions, people who have pneumonia can experience severe symptoms up to respiratory failure. One effort to prevent pneumonia is to vaccinate. How important is pneumonia vaccination in preventing pneumonia? \n\n Pneumonia vaccines can help prevent pneumonia infections. Vaccines help protect against various types of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Vaccines work effectively by helping the body produce its own antibodies, which protect it from exposure to bacteria that cause pneumonia. \n\n There are several populations at risk of experiencing severe symptoms if infected with pneumonia, including: \n\n \n Sufferers of chronic diseases such as heart problems, kidney problems, diabetes mellitus patients, kidney problems in patients who have undergone hemodialysis, and patients with asthma. Patients who suffer from chronic diseases usually have a lower immune system, so if they are infected with pneumonia, they will experience severe symptoms up to respiratory failure. \n The second group is patients who have immune systems, such as HIV/AIDS sufferers or people who take drugs that suppress the immune system, namely autoimmune patients. \n People who want to travel to areas where someone could potentially be infected with pneumonia, for example, the Hajj and Umrah \n Next, the elderly, namely those aged over 65 years, are a population at risk of experiencing severe symptoms if infected with pneumonia. \n \n\n \nThis population should be given a pneumonia vaccination so that they can avoid serious symptoms due to pneumonia and even respiratory failure. In general, guidelines for pneumonia vaccination can be recommended from 19 years of age. However, for the four populations above, the priority is to be able to vaccinate against pneumonia. \n\n There are two types of pneumonia vaccines on the market today, including: \n\n \n PCV 13 (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine). This vaccine can be given to people aged 19 and older. \n PPSV23 (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine). This vaccine can be given to people over 50 years of age. \n \n\n \nAEFI (Post-Immunization Event) Pneumonia Vaccination \nThe same as vaccination in general, pneumonia vaccination can also cause AEFI (post-immunization events) such as pain at the injection site, redness or swelling at the injection site, and then mild fever, muscle aches, and joint pain. However, there is no need to worry about this because it will disappear by itself on the 2nd or 3rd day after immunization. \n\n Hermina friends, see the explanation about the importance of pneumonia vaccination on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel!

Early Signs of a Heart Attack that Often Go Unnoticed<\/a><\/h3>
Heart attacks are one of the most common causes of death in the world. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that every year, more than 17 million people die from heart attacks. Moreover, this disease is often discovered suddenly without any initial symptoms being noticed. Therefore, it is important for us to recognize the early signs of a heart attack which are often not realized.\n\nOne of the most common symptoms of a heart attack is chest pain or a feeling of heaviness behind the breastbone. This pain usually feels like pressure or burning and can radiate to the left arm, jaw, or back. However, not everyone experiences chest pain when a heart attack occurs. There are also other signs that many people are often unaware of.\n\nOne of the early signs of a heart attack that is often not realized is shortness of breath. People having a heart attack may find it difficult to breathe or feel out of breath easily. This occurs because disrupted blood flow to the heart causes damage to the heart muscle and reduces its ability to pump blood properly.\n\nApart from that, nausea and vomiting can also be early signs of a heart attack that are often not realized. Some people may experience bloating or discomfort in the stomach before a heart attack occurs. Nausea and vomiting occur because damage to the heart muscle causes poor blood circulation to other organs in the body.\n\nAnother early sign of a heart attack that is often not realized is weakness or unnatural fatigue. People who have a heart attack may feel excessive tiredness or unexplained tiredness. This happens because the damaged heart muscle cannot pump blood efficiently, so the body becomes deprived of oxygen and energy. \n\n Apart from that, a heart attack can also be characterized by cold sweat and dizziness. This cold sweat occurs because blood flow is disrupted to the brain, while dizziness occurs due to a lack of blood and oxygen supply to the brain. Both are signs that many people are often unaware of.\n\nIn dealing with a heart attack, early detection is very important. Therefore, we need to recognize the early signs of a heart attack which are often not realized. If you experience these symptoms, immediately seek medical help. Don't ignore or underestimate these signs, because a heart attack can be fatal if not treated immediately.\n\nIn an effort to prevent heart attacks, it is important for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Avoid smoking, eat healthy foods, and do regular exercise. Apart from that, be diligent in carrying out regular health checks, especially if you have risk factors such as a family history of heart attacks or diseases such as diabetes or hypertension.\n\nBy recognizing the early signs of a heart attack which are often not realized, we can be more alert and take appropriate preventive steps. Remember that heart health is very important, and maintaining heart health is the best investment in our future. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to install braces or braces at the dentist?<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, Having straight teeth is a dream for many people. The high demand for teeth straightening treatments has given rise to various treatment options that are often found in the community.\nStarting from teeth straightening treatments or installing braces by specialist dentists, ordinary general dentists, to fake dentists. So, where should we go to the dentist to get braces installed?\nThe answer is to go to an orthodontic specialist. An orthodontic specialist is a doctor who specializes in the field of dentistry. His specialization is focused specifically on the treatment of dental irregularities (alignment and occlusion) and jaw problems. Treatment measures generally involve the application of braces.\nIn addition to correcting existing/occurring conditions, orthodontic specialists are also trained to identify problems that may develop in the future. This doctor can carry out examinations for everyone regardless of age.\nBraces are not just fashion, Hermina's friends. Braces are still medical treatment that must be handled by a competent dentist, namely an orthodontist. If not done correctly, braces treatment can be in vain or even damage the condition of the teeth. \n\n What dental conditions require braces?\n\nDental treatment with brackets or braces is now very common. The purpose of using braces is to straighten the alignment of the teeth.\nHowever, not all cases of bite abnormalities or jaw relationship abnormalities can be treated with braces. Some of them require larger procedures, such as jaw surgery.\nOther conditions where braces should not be used are cavities and gum inflammation. Using braces can actually make this condition worse. \n\n \n\n So, what are the dental conditions that need braces? \n\n 1. Teeth Too Forward \n\n 2. Gap Teeth \n\n 3. Crowded Teeth \n\n 4. Crooked Teeth \n\n 5. Gear Rotation \n\n 6. The size of the teeth and jaw do not match \n\n 7. Implanted Teeth 8. Best Bite \n\n 9. Open Bite \n\n Why do you have to go to an Orthodontist to install braces?\nBraces installation and maintenance should be carried out by a competent dentist, namely an orthodontist. Indeed, until now, there are many general dentists who install braces.\nIf you need to correct the position of your teeth, you should consult an orthodontist. For example, if you experience problems when biting or the position of your teeth is messy.\nIt is important to remember that there are types of teeth that cannot be braced, such as upper teeth that are too advanced (tonggos), lower teeth that are too advanced, crowded teeth, teeth that don't fit together, open bite, and impacted teeth.\n\nBefore choosing and carrying out the above treatment, the doctor will perform a dental X-ray procedure. This aims to determine the condition of the teeth and jawbone beneath them.\nThen, the orthodontist will treat the problem by installing braces, transparent braces or Invisalign, and even surgery.\nActually, it's not a problem if you straighten your teeth by going to the dentist.\nHowever, perhaps the treatment will be different if you visit an orthodontist. Whether it's the treatment techniques and treatment options that are more limited. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get To Know The Causes of Lower Back Pain<\/a><\/h3>
Get To Know The Causes of Lower Back Pain \n\n Hermina's friend, have you ever felt pain in your lower back? If so, it could be low back pain. Lower back pain or low back pain is pain that occurs in the back of the body, namely the waist, lower spine, and can spread to the buttocks or thighs. \n\n This pain can be caused by spinal abnormalities, such as lordosis, scoliosis, spondylitis, and so on. Therefore, low back pain is a health problem that should not be taken lightly. \n\n Low back pain or lower back pain is a condition when pain or discomfort appears in the lower back, starting from below the rib cage to the lower crease of the buttocks but without the pain spreading to the legs. \n\n If not treated properly, lower back pain can reduce lumbar mobility, resulting in limited movement and disrupting activities. \n\n Lower back pain can be mild or it can be severe. This condition can also occur suddenly, or it can also occur slowly, until it seems to come and go but gradually gets worse over time. \n\n Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, symptoms can be experienced in various ways, such as: \n\n \n Pain or soreness in the lower back area \n Stinging, burning pain, felt radiating from the lower back to the back of the thigh, sometimes to the lower leg or foot; may include numbness or tingling (rheumatic pain) \n Muscle spasms and tightness in the lower back, pelvis and hips \n Pain that worsens after prolonged sitting or standing \n Difficulty standing up straight, walking, or moving from standing to sitting \n \n\n Causes of low back pain \n\n The most common cause of low back pain is torn or pulled muscles or ligaments. This can be in the form of a sprain or lower back strain and can occur suddenly, or it can develop slowly over time due to repetitive movements. \n\n A strain occurs when a muscle is stretched too far and tears, damaging the muscle itself. In addition, it can also be due to sprains which occur when excessive stretching and tearing affects the ligaments, which connect the bones together. \n\n Sprains and strains that trigger lower back pain can be caused by a number of factors such as: \n\n \n Lifting heavy objects, or twisting the spine when lifting \n Sudden movements that put too much pressure on the lower back, such as falling \n Poor posture over time \n Sports injuries, especially in sports involving twisting or large impact forces \n \n\n How to deal with low back pain \n\n Usually, low back pain will improve with bed rest, medication, installation of braces (lumbar corset), and physiotherapy, only around 1 - 2% require surgery. \n\n Surgery will be carried out especially in conditions of herniation (HNP) or a decrease in motor and sensory function of the lower limbs. \n\n When it comes to lower back pain, physiotherapy is a treatment that is often recommended for all ages. The aim is to maintain, improve, restore function and dependency if individuals experience impaired movement and function abilities or problems caused by physical damage. \n\n Hermina Yogya Hospital serves health related to orthopedics, such as bones, joints, muscles and other connective tissue. As well as providing complete supporting facilities and professional medical staff. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hot Weather and the Risk of Premature Aging<\/a><\/h3>
Indonesia has recently been hit by quite extreme hot weather. The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) revealed that this condition was triggered by several factors, such as the effects of the dry season, the El Nino phenomenon, and a decrease in global rainfall. \n\n As a result, a number of areas experienced hot weather like 'leaking hell'. BMKG also predicts hot weather will last for the next seven days with a temperature range of 35-38 degrees Celsius. \n\n Of course, this affects people's routines, especially those who do outdoor activities. Extreme weather, both hot and cold, can worsen some existing skin conditions or even cause new ones. \n\n The climate in an area can affect the skin all over your body, from the appearance of acne to itchy dry patches. In warm climates, increased heat and humidity can cause skin to sweat, making it more prone to acne, especially if your skin is oily. \n\n Apart from making it hot, exposure to hot weather for a long period of time also has the potential to cause health problems. The impact of sun exposure can trigger the appearance of signs of aging on the skin. Heat can also trigger other skin problems. \n\n Among them is heat rash, which occurs when the sweat ducts close, so that moisture is trapped under the skin and causes a rash in the form of blisters or lumps. \n\n Sun damage, UV rays damage the elastic structure under the skin and cause fine tissue-like wrinkles, resulting in a rough and wrinkled appearance (damaged skin barrier). Ultraviolet radiation, which accelerates the natural aging process, is the main cause of premature wrinkles. \n\n Exposure to UV rays can also damage elastin fibers which play a role in maintaining skin shape. Elastin is a protein that allows skin to return to its original shape when pulled or stretched. \n\n When elastin is damaged, the skin begins to lose its ability to return to its original shape after being pulled or stressed. As a result, the skin becomes saggy, fine lines and wrinkles appear, \n\n The effects of UV rays can also make the skin surface dry, rough and uneven. \n\n Damage from UV rays can also cause the skin to lose its ability to retain moisture, leaving it dry and rough. \n\n Tips to protect skin and minimize wrinkles: \n\n 1. Protect your skin from sunlight \n\n Limit the time you spend in the sun, especially during the day, and always wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses. \n\n Apart from that, use sunscreen/SPF when outdoors. \n\n 2. Moisturize \n\n Dry skin makes skin cells wrinkle, which can cause fine lines and premature wrinkles. \n\n 3. Eat healthy food \n\n You should consume more nutrients, fruits and vegetables because there are certain vitamins in food that can help you protect your skin \n\n 4. Don't smoke \n\n Even if you have smoked for years or smoke heavily, you can still improve skin tone and texture and prevent wrinkles by quitting smoking. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beware of Burnout Syndrome in Workers<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends,\n\nStress can occur anywhere, including in the work environment. If left alone, this condition can worsen and cause a person to experience a more severe mental condition, namely depression. Not only that, mental disorders that are left untreated can also increase the risk of various physical health problems. Work load that cannot be managed well can increase the risk of stress which can lead to depression. Depression at work can cause work productivity to decrease, and employees can experience a decrease in enthusiasm for work.\n\nWork can be very tiring and take up all your time and energy. As a result, stress is inevitable. Not just ordinary stress, pressure due to work can actually bring about a health problem called Burnout Syndrome. So, what is Burnout Syndrome? \n\n Burnout Syndrome is a stress condition related to work. That is why this health condition is also known as occupational burnout or job burnout.\n\nThis condition is characterized by:\n\n1.physical fatigue\n2.Emotional Exhaustion\n3. Attitude/mental fatigue\n4. Feelings of low self-esteem related to work (a kind of loss of pride, interest and passion).\nProlonged stress due to work problems can also occur, when you feel overwhelmed by orders from your boss that keep coming, but you are unable to fulfill them. \n\n Burnout Symptoms\n\nThe symptoms that appear will usually vary from person to person. This is influenced by the level of stress experienced and what triggers it. In general, there are several symptoms and signs that someone may experience depression at work, including\n\n-Always feel tired\n-Headache\nHeart beat\n-Pain and tension in the muscles of the body\n-Decreased appetite.\n-Sleep disturbance.\n-Stomach ache or digestive problems. \n\n Bornout symptoms can not only affect a person's physical condition but can also affect psychology, including the following:\n\n-Not confident\n-Feeling that no one is helping and being stuck at work\n-Decreased productivity\nNot enthusiastic and always arrives late\n-Anxious, easily discouraged, pessimistic\n-Easy to forget\n-Difficulty concentrating\n-Avoid interaction and withdrawal from the office environment\n-Loss of interest\n-Lost sense of pride in work \n\n Depression at work also causes sufferers to lose interest in work, so they often appear to have no motivation, receive incorrect information, and often take time off. There are many factors that can cause this condition, one of which is that work demands are too heavy. Depression at work can also be caused by a work environment that is less than comfortable. \n\n Preventing Work-Induced Burnout Syndrome\n\nThinking about resigning or quitting a job that you don't like and looking for a new job that is more enjoyable is indeed a very tempting option, in order not to continue suffering from Job Burnout.\n\nHowever, in reality, finding your dream job is not that easy. If that's the case, changing your mindset and perspective is the most likely way to prevent work-related Burnout Syndrome.\n\nSeveral ways you can prevent work stress include: \n\n 1. Look for the positive side in work\n\nEven if work doesn't make you happy, focus on what you like. For example, if a job is difficult, we will be happy to see that other departments are helped by what we do. In fact, something as simple as having fun work friends in the midst of a bad work and work environment can be a positive thing.\n\n2. Make friends with coworkers\n\nSometimes, friends in the work environment can be stressful because daily work is reduced. That is why, it is also important to build close relationships with fellow colleagues.\n\nMaking friends with coworkers will make it easier for us to chat and joke with each other. This can also help you reduce stress so you don't fall into burnout syndrome.\n\n3. Maintain a balance in life\n\nTry to rediscover ourselves from the surrounding environment, such as family and friends. The people closest to us definitely still really appreciate our presence in their midst. We can also find a hobby or look for other activities that make us happy.\n\n4. Take advantage of time off\n\nIf burnout is unavoidable, try taking a short break from your work routine. Try taking time off for a vacation to divert your attention for a moment from the busyness that is imprisoning you. Use your time off to "recharge" your energy and refresh your mind. \n\n To help manage stress and avoid depression in the work environment, always adopt a healthy lifestyle, and if you are stuck with bornout syndrome, you can consult with a specialist in mental medicine at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
