This condition can be triggered by mild to serious disorders, such as injury, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Trigger finger, de Quervain disease, ganglion cysts, and so on.\n\nLet's get to know the various causes of hand pain and how to overcome them through the review below. \n\n 1. Injury\n\nThe first and most common cause of wrist pain is injury. Injury or force can have an effect on bone structures such as fractures or cracks or non-bones such as sprains and dislocations (shifting of bones away from the joint) in the wrist. This condition usually occurs due to several things, such as:\n\nSudden impact due to using the hand as support when falling.\nOften do activities that involve repetitive hand movements, such as driving, playing musical instruments, playing sports, basketball, etc. \n\n 2. Rheumatoid Arthritis\nThe next cause of wrist pain is rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack the lubricating fluid that surrounds the joints (synovium). As a result, the connective tissue and cartilage around the joints will be damaged, including the joints in the wrist. This condition is different from osteoarthritis which is basically a degenerative or aging process. \n\n 3. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome\n\nCarpal tunnel syndrome is also a cause of wrist pain that needs to be watched out for. Apart from pain, carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers also often complain of frequent tingling in their hands, their hands becoming less sensitive to touch, and swelling and discoloration of the skin of their hands.\n\nThis condition can occur due to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel (the gap between the carpal bones and ligaments in the wrist). There are a number of factors that can increase a person's risk of experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome, including: \n\n - Pregnancy.\n- Suffering from diabetes.\n- Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.\n- Disruption of body fluid balance.\n- Suffering from obesity.\n- Have work that involves repetitive hand movements, such as office workers who work long-term typing and sports athletes whose sports activities are dominated by the use of their hands, namely tennis, volleyball, badminton athletes, etc \n\n 4. Ganglion Cyst\nGanglion cysts are one of the causes of wrist pain which occurs due to the presence of cysts or abnormal soft tissue on the upper side of the wrist. This condition can cause pain that gets worse, especially when the sufferer moves the wrist.\n\n5. Trigger Finger and de Quervain disease\n\nTrigger finger is inflammation of the tendons or tissue that connects bones and muscles so that a painful sensation arises when the sufferer bends or straightens the fingers, while de Quervain disease is inflammation of the tendons in the wrist area and the upper side of the thumb. Trigger finger can also cause the finger to feel stiff so it cannot be moved. Generally the fingers feel stiff when bent.\n\n\n\nTrigger finger can occur in one or several fingers. However, usually this condition most often affects the right hand, specifically the little finger, ring finger and thumb. This condition is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis or trigger finger. \n\n How to Treat Wrist Pain\nTreatment for wrist pain tends to vary depending on the severity and underlying cause. However, a number of medical procedures commonly performed to treat wrist pain are as follows:\n\n\n\n1. Consuming drugs\nThe first way to deal with wrist pain is to take analgesic medication to relieve the pain that arises. Several types of analgesic drugs that doctors often prescribe to treat wrist pain are ibuprofen, paracetamol, NSAIDs, and.\n\n2. Physiotherapy\nPhysiotherapy is a rehabilitation therapy to control symptoms, restore the body's abilities, restore body function and movement, and minimize physical limitations that occur due to certain injuries or diseases. \n\n 3. Pain Intervention\nPain intervention management or Interventional Pain Management (IPM) is a minimally invasive procedure carried out with the guidance of tools to treat acute and chronic pain long-term or permanently.\n\nThe procedure is carried out by inserting certain drugs, substances or tools into the body structure or certain parts of the body that are the source of pain. Next, block the nerves which are part of the mechanism of pain transmission in a targeted manner using guidance tools such as ultrasonography (USG), fluoroscopy, C-Arm, and other supporting tools \n\n 4. Operation\nSurgery can be performed to treat wrist pain if it is triggered by several things, such as:\n\nFractures and dislocations.\nNon-traumatic cases where ultrasound guiding pain intervention has been carried out but have not provided optimal results in cases of Trigger finger, de Quervain diseasde, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome\nCases of ganglion cysts enlarge progressively and symptoms do not improve with medication\n\n\nThat's the cause, symptoms and treatment of hand pain. If Hermina's friend has the above symptoms, you can immediately consult an orthopedic doctor at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Signs of Skin Fungus That Must Be Treated Immediately<\/a><\/h3>
Not a few people have experienced fungal skin infections, but not everyone understands the proper treatment method when we experience this condition. Naturally, fungi can live and reproduce on the skin, but usually they do not cause problems. If the number increases, it will cause skin disorders. There are fungal infections on the skin that are contagious and often disturb comfort. Fungal infections usually infect the skin in moist areas, such as the folds of the skin (armpits, between the fingers, groin, and genital area). Therefore, it is important for Hermina Friends to recognize the causes and ways to treat fungal infections. \n\n \n\n Types of skin fungus \n\n There are several types of fungal skin infections that often occur, including: \n\n \n \n Ringworm (tinea) \n \n \n\n It is a type of fungal skin infection that is easily transmitted and can occur in various areas of the body, such as on the scalp (tinea capitis), body (tinea corporis), groin (tinea cruris), or on the feet (tinea pedis). \n\n \n \n Nail fungus (tinea unguium) \n \n \n\n As the name suggests, nail fungus occurs in the nails of both the hands and feet. This type of fungus is also contagious. \n\n \n \n Panu (ținea versicolor) \n \n \n\n ·Panu (ținea versicolor) Tinea versicolor is generally not contagious, like nail fungus and ringworm. Tinea versicolor usually attacks the top layer of the skin. \n\n \n \n Candidiasis \n \n \n\n Candidiasis is a fungal skin infection that mostly attacks moist parts of the body, such as the armpits, groin, between the fingers, folds of the breasts, and others. Candidiasis is generally not contagious. \n\n \n\n Tips for treating fungal skin infections \n\n One treatment that can be given when infected with skin fungus is using anti-fungal medication, especially topical (topical) anti-fungals such as cream or ointment. Use topical medication according to the doctor's recommendations or according to the instructions usually stated on the packaging. \n\n Hermina's friends can do several things to prevent fungal skin infections, including : \n\n \n \n Maintain skin cleanliness. \n \n \n Get into the habit of changing underwear every day. \n \n \n Don't leave your body wet or sweaty for too long. \n \n \n Do not share towels or clothes with other people. \n \n \n Use clothes that easily absorb sweat when exercising. \n \n \n Avoid wearing pants that are too tight. \n \n \n Shower regularly \n \n \n\n If Friends of Hermina feel that the condition of the skin fungal infection is not getting better and even feels very uncomfortable, immediately consult a dermatologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital, or you can also consult online via the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Increasing HIV and AIDS Cases Among Adolescents<\/a><\/h3>
The increase in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases in Indonesia continues to increase every month. This viral infection can reduce the ability of human immunity to fight foreign objects in the body, which, in the terminal stage of infection, can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Adolescents are more vulnerable to HIV infection due to various social factors, namely limited access and knowledge about sexual education, especially reproductive organs, minimal explanation from parents about sexuality, trauma received in the past, as well as high curiosity. As a result, these teenage children will make decisions that tend to be unsafe and pose a high risk to their physical health. \n\n The 15–25-year age group, which is categorized as teenagers, is the group most frequently infected with HIV. Based on data from the Ministry of Health as of 2022, only 76 percent of people with HIV know their status, 41 percent of people with HIV receive treatment, and only 16 percent of people with HIV receive treatment. The virus is suppressed. It is very unfortunate that HIV transmission in adolescents can be caused by: \n\n 1. Injection drug use \n\n 2. Casual sex, especially with people of the same sex \n\n 3. Through a blood transfusion \n\n 4. From mother to baby \n\n 5. Oral sex \n\n The importance of knowledge related to HIV also needs to be conveyed on an ongoing basis. Collaboration between various parties is very important to expand the education and information provided. That is why education about HIV/AIDS needs to be carried out in schools and outside of school so that teenagers can know the dangers of HIV. \n\n The importance of preventing HIV transmission can be determined using the ABCDE method, namely: \n\n a. Abstinence, meaning absence of sex or not having sex, is for those who are not married, and when getting married, it is important to check HIV status with your partner so that prevention of HIV transmission from mother and child can be minimized. \n\n B: Be faithful, be loyal to your partner, and not change partners. \n\n Condoms prevent sexual transmission by providing protection. \n\n D: Drug No, do not use illegal drugs, and avoid sharing needles and non-sterile needles. \n\n E: Education provides education and information related to HIV. \n\n This is why it is very important to provide sexual education and reproductive organ health to children from an early age. It's not about taboo; it's more about how the next generation of young people can get the right information and access so they don't risk contracting HIV. \n\n If you need more complete information about HIV and AIDS, you can ask an internal medicine doctor at Hermina Hospital, Depok. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize the symptoms of a pinched nerve before it's too late.<\/a><\/h3>
Radiculopathy, or "pinched nerve," or in Indonesian, pinched nerve, is a condition where the nerve is compressed by the surrounding tissue. This tissue can be muscle, tendon, bone, or cartilage. Because nerves run throughout the body, pinched nerves can also occur in various locations in the body. \n\n The causes of a pinched nerve, also known as a pinched nerve, come from various factors, including age, daily habits, and certain medical conditions. Treatment cannot be done haphazardly, considering that inappropriate actions can increase the risk of permanent damage to the nerves. \n\n What can cause a pinched nerve? \n\n Some body positions can increase pressure around the nerves, such as leaning on your elbows or crossing your legs for long periods of time. Apart from that, there are also several conditions that can cause a pinched nerve, including: \n\n - Disc herniation, a condition that occurs due to the spinal disc shifting from its proper place \n\n - Rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammation of the joints \n\n - Spinal stenosis, which is an abnormal narrowing of the spine, \n\n - Carpal tunnel syndrome: this condition occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed. \n\n - Injuries, bruises, or other conditions that cause swelling can also trigger a pinched nerve. \n\n Pinched nerve symptoms \n\n Nerves cannot function normally when they receive excessive pressure from the surrounding tissue. Therefore, pain arises, which is an indication of a pinched nerve. \n\n The pain caused by a pinched nerve is often misinterpreted as ordinary pain, so quite a few people underestimate this disease. In fact, there are other signs and symptoms of a pinched nerve that can be observed, namely: \n\n - Parts of the body feel painful with a burning sensation. \n\n - Tingling \n\n - Numbness or numbness \n\n - Muscle weakness in the part of the body affected by the pinched nerve \n\n - Symptoms worsen when the sufferer tries to perform certain movements, such as turning the head or tensing the neck. \n\n Who is at risk of developing this disease? \n\n Groups of people who are at high risk of experiencing a pinched nerve include: \n\n - pregnant mother. Increased fluid volume during pregnancy can make the cavity narrower, which can put pressure on the nerves. \n\n - Diabetics \n\n - People who often lie down for a long time \n\n - family history of pinched nerves \n\n - Age factor. As you get older, vertebral discs (connections between bones) become inflexible and tear easily. \n\n - Injury to the spine \n\n - Often, do activities that put stress on the spine, for example, lifting heavy weights. \n\n - People who often use their wrists or shoulders repeatedly at work \n\n - excess weight. This causes the burden on the spine to increase. \n\n How do I prevent it? \n\n People who have been affected by a pinched nerve can experience it again in the future. For prevention, you can do the following: \n\n - Body posture when sitting is in a good and correct position. \n\n - Avoid crossing your legs when sitting for a long time. \n\n - Maintain ideal body weight. \n\n - Take short breaks when doing repetitive activities. \n\n - Use a brace or corset to maintain good body position. \n\n - Exercise to strengthen muscles and relax the body \n\n Prevention and diagnosis as early as possible can make treating a pinched nerve easier so that you get better results. Therefore, immediately consult a doctor if you feel signs and symptoms of a pinched nerve to get the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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>

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>

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.

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.

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>

Can Exercise Eliminate Acne<\/a><\/h3>
Regular exercise can make the body healthier. Not only that, but diligent exercise also provides many good benefits for the body. Starting from the health of the body to the skin, one can feel the benefits. However, the question often arises: can exercise get rid of acne? \n\n The benefits of exercise in helping to deal with acne are that it reduces stress. Although stress is not the main cause of acne, it can make it worse. Exercise is one way to relieve stress, apart from meditation, rest, and other activities. Regular exercise of any kind can help increase hormones such as serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. These hormones make us feel happy and energized, as well as regulate feelings of anxiety that stress us out. Physical activity also helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can lead to oily skin and acne if they get too high. So, logically, maintaining these conditions through exercise can help prevent acne. \n\n However, the most important thing is to choose the type of sport or exercise that you like. Especially for acne-prone skin, you can try endurance sports such as running, swimming, or cycling. Apart from that, you can also get a similar effect from sports such as soccer, volleyball, or tennis. Going to the fitness center is also a good alternative. \n\n Start with short training sessions and then build up slowly. That way, you stay motivated and don't stop in the middle of the process. Also, you should not exercise alone. Do sports with your partner or friends, so it's more fun. Not to forget, don't forget what your goal is when exercising, which is to provide optimal body health, including clean skin. \n\n So, can exercise get rid of acne? The answer is certainly yes, although not directly. However, there are a number of things you need to pay attention to when treating acne before, during, and after exercise, including: \n\n 1. Remove facial makeup. \n\n During exercise, there is an increase in blood flow to the skin. This increase causes the pores to open. Exercising with makeup on can cause sweat and bacteria to get trapped in enlarged pores. So it can lead to clogged pores and pimples. \n\n 2. Hair Tie \n\n Avoid loose hair on the face. Because natural oils from hair and hair care products can transfer to the skin. Hair can also keep the skin moist during exercise, which can clog pores and encourage the growth of yeast, thereby contributing to acne. \n\n 3. Keep Clean \n\n Including cellphones, helmets, and other equipment that will touch the face, please clean it first. Cleaning them removes oil, dirt, and bacteria that can cause acne. \n\n 4. Avoid touching your face. \n\n Bacteria, oil, or dirt on the hands can move to the skin when the hands touch the face. This can lead to clogged pores and infections. \n\n 5. Take a shower after exercising \n\n Take a shower after a workout to remove accumulated sweat, oil, dirt, and bacteria. Use face and body cleansers that contain benzoyl peroxide to clean acne-prone skin. If it is not possible to take a shower, then simply washing your face is enough. \n\n If you have an acne problem that doesn't get better, be sure to immediately check with a skin doctor at Hermina Hospital. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
