Menu for breaking the fast that must be avoided for people with hypertension<\/a><\/h3>
Menu for breaking the fast that must be avoided for people with hypertension \n\n Hypertension is a condition where the body experiences blood pressure that exceeds normal limits. Symptoms that suffer from hypertension include a person experiencing headaches, eye pain, weakness or fatigue. Generally, adults with a healthy body condition have normal blood pressure of around 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. If left to continue, hypertension can trigger complications from various diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and even life-threatening. A person who has been diagnosed with hypertension must always take medication to stabilize their blood pressure. \n\n Knowing that, before fasting, hypertension sufferers should first consult a doctor regarding whether they are allowed to fast or not. This is to prevent undesirable things from happening if you are forced to fast. If the doctor permits, then during fasting, hypertension sufferers must reduce their intake of foods that contain high sodium and fat. In this month of Ramadan, breaking the fast is a very special moment. Not a few people buy lots of their favorite foods to quench their hunger and thirst after a day of fasting. \n\n However, if you have hypertension, you should be careful and not go crazy when breaking the fast. Because, there are several dietary restrictions so that blood pressure does not rise suddenly, including: \n\n 1. Foods rich in salt \n\n For people with hypertension, avoid foods rich in salt when breaking the fast. Salt is a major contributor to high blood pressure so it needs to be avoided. These foods can cause hypertension because they can affect the fluid balance in the blood. \n\n In fact, a person should not consume sodium content of 2,300 milligrams or the equivalent of 1 teaspoon. Therefore, it is better to avoid foods with a salty taste when breaking the fast. \n\n 2. Sugar \n\n Excessive sugar intake when breaking the fast can also increase blood pressure. Drinks rich in sugar can contribute to weight gain, both in adults and children. \n\n Overweight and obesity which affect a person's high blood pressure. In fact, several studies say that excessive sugar consumption can also have a direct effect on increasing blood pressure. \n\n Therefore, make sure to limit your daily sugar consumption. For men, make sure to consume no more than 9 teaspoons. Meanwhile for women, no more than 6 tea spoons of sugar. \n\n 3. Processed foods are rich in saturated fat \n\n Someone who has high blood pressure problems also needs to avoid consuming processed foods that are rich in saturated fat. Trans fat itself is an artificial fat that increases the shelf life and stability of packaged foods. \n\n This content increases LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol) and reduces HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol), so there is a greater risk of developing hypertension. Some foods that are rich in saturated fat are animal products, such as fat-rich milk and cream, butter, and chicken skin. \n\n 4. Red meat \n\n During the fasting month, there are usually lots of processed meat foods, such as rendang or curry. However, people with hypertension should avoid consuming meat when breaking the fast. Because red meat contains saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, which can increase blood pressure. \n\n 5. Fried foods \n\n In Indonesia, breaking the fast with fried food seems to have become a habit. So, those who have hypertension should avoid this habit. Consuming fried foods can cause blood pressure to rise, reduce HDL cholesterol levels, and increase the risk of obesity. \n\n When food is fried in oil, the water content in it is lost and the oil is absorbed. As a result, the calories in food increase \n\n Those are the foods that people with hypertension need to avoid. Just in case, you should also always have hypertension medication on hand that can lower blood pressure. \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>

IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCES OF MIOM AND OVARY CYST<\/a><\/h3>
IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW \n\n THE DIFFERENCES OF MYOMA AND OVARY CYST \n\n Hermina's friends are certainly no strangers to hearing about this disease, myoma and ovarian cysts, not a few don't understand the difference. Some people may not know the difference between myoma and cyst. In fact, not a few who consider the two as the same condition. In fact, fibroids and cysts have different causes and ways of handling them. \n\n Myomas (myoma) and ovarian cysts are two disorders of the female reproductive organs that are often found. It is often difficult to tell the two disorders apart, and many women find out about them only during routine obstetric examinations. \n\n The difference between myoma and cyst can generally be known from their shape and location. Myoma is a benign cell growth from the uterine wall muscle. Meanwhile, cysts are lumps that can grow in almost all parts of the body, including the ovaries. \n\n Myoma and Cyst Difference \n\n It can be seen from the following aspects: \n\n 1. Growth Locations \n\n Myomas appear in the uterus while cysts in the ovaries. The types of networks that develop are also different. Cysts are growths of tissue that form pockets filled with fluid, while myomas are classified as benign tumors that contain muscle cells in the lining of the uterus. Myomas can develop inside or outside the uterine wall. \n\n 2. Age of Emergence \n\n Uterine myomas are most common in women in their 40s and early 50s. Meanwhile, ovarian cysts are more commonly found at a younger age, namely 20-40 years. \n\n 3. Nature of Abnormalities \n\n In general, myomas are classified as benign tumors which rarely become malignant cancer. While the cyst, according to the classification of the disease is not a tumor. However, in some women who have experienced menopause, ovarian cysts sometimes develop into malignant cancer. \n\n 4. Size \n\n The size of uterine fibroids varies, from about the size of an apple seed to the size of a grapefruit. Myomas usually grow and enlarge more quickly during pregnancy and tend to shrink after menopause. \n\n Meanwhile, the diameter of ovarian cysts can be less than 1 cm to more than 10 cm. In certain types, the growth rate is slow, which is about 1 millimeter per year in premenopausal women. \n\n 5. Causes of Myoma and Cysts \n\n Ovarian cysts have many types and different causes. The most commonly found, namely functional cysts, is a 'by-product' of the monthly menstrual cycle. Ovarian cysts can also occur as a result of reproductive hormone disorders, pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis (growth of uterine lining tissue outside the uterus). \n\n While uterine myoma, until now the cause is still unclear. However, it is estimated that there is influence of female reproductive hormones and genetic factors. Other risk factors are obesity and the habit of consuming lots of red meat. \n\n Myoma and Cyst Symptoms \n\n Both myomas and cysts can have similar symptoms, such as: \n\n • Pain or fullness in the lower abdomen \n\n • Stomach bloated and looks enlarged \n\n • Pain or discomfort in the lower back and thighs \n\n • Difficult or frequent urination \n\n • Pain during intercourse \n\n • Unusual menstrual pain \n\n • Breast pain \n\n • Difficult bowel movements or constipation \n\n However, there are two main symptoms that can give clues to which disorder is occurring. Pain on one side of the abdomen accompanied by fever and vomiting is more due to ovarian cysts than myomas. Conversely, long (> 10 days) and heavy menstrual bleeding is more caused by myomas than ovarian cysts. \n\n Myoma and cyst are two different conditions, but sometimes the symptoms can be similar and are generally benign. However, this condition should not be underestimated because it has the potential to cause other health problems. \n\n Therefore, it requires routine health checks to the doctor to determine whether there are fibroids or cysts in a person's body, especially if symptoms have appeared or have certain complaints. If a myoma or cyst is detected, the doctor can immediately carry out the appropriate treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Adequacy of Nutrition for Pregnant Women during the Fasting Month<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina must know, is it okay for Hermina's friends who are currently pregnant in both the early and final trimesters to fast in the month of Ramadan?\n\nFasting during the month of Ramadan is an obligation for all Muslims, and of course Hermina's best friend, who is currently waiting for the arrival of a baby, definitely wants to take part in fulfilling this obligation.\n\nFasting is in principle permissible if the mother and her baby-to-be are declared healthy by the doctor and do not have certain medical conditions that need to be watched out for. There are several concerns that are usually felt by pregnant women about fasting during the month of Ramadan, especially the effect on the health and weight of the baby.\n\nBased on research conducted in 2018 which involved more than thirty thousand pregnant women, of which nearly 19,000 of them were fasting during the month of Ramadan, it was found that there was no difference in the average baby's weight if the mother was still getting adequate nutrition. Therefore fasting will not only result in low baby weight, as long as the daily calorie and nutritional needs needed by pregnant women can be met at dawn and breaking the fast. In addition, fasting also does not increase the risk of preterm birth in healthy pregnancies.\n\nThere are things that need to be understood before the mother performs fasting, especially regarding the nutritional needs of pregnant women.\n\nPregnant women have higher daily calorie needs in each trimester than women who are not pregnant. In the first trimester, pregnant women with ideal body weight will need 1,800 kcal/day, in the second trimester, 2,200 kcal/day, while in the third trimester, pregnant women's calorie needs reach 2,400 kcal/day. \n\n The calorie needs of pregnant women also vary according to the nutritional status of the mother before pregnancy. Pregnant women with low body weight tend to require higher calorie intake and are targeted to gain more weight than those with normal nutritional status. The following is the recommended weight gain target during pregnancy for pregnant women in Indonesia. Mothers with BMI < 18.5 are advised to gain 12.5-18 kg in weight during pregnancy, BMI 18.5-22.8 is targeted to increase body weight 11.5-16 kg, BMI between 22.9-27.5 is expected to maintain weight gain between 7-11.5 kg, whereas For mothers with a BMI > 27.5 it is expected to be able to maintain a weight gain of < 7 kg. \n\n Monitoring body weight is one method of monitoring the adequacy of calories for pregnant women. Generally, the dominant weight gain occurs when the gestational age enters the end of the second trimester to the end of the third trimester (0.3-0.5 kg/week). This needs to be considered and paid attention to when the mother decides to fast during the month of Ramadan. the adequacy of the target calories and weight to be achieved must be met from the consumption of food and drinks at dawn and breaking the fast.\n\nThe type of food consumed should also be considered. Consumption of balanced nutrition containing enough carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals must be fulfilled to meet the needs of mother and baby.\n\nFood choices that should be consumed during pregnancy must meet the needs of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta are examples of high-carb foods. They turn into the main energy for the body of mother and baby. Whole grain and fortified products contain folic acid and iron. Consumption of vegetables and fruits which are the main sources of vitamins A and C, folic acid, iron, potassium, magnesium and fiber which are good for the fetus is recommended up to 4-5 servings a day. Choose fresh fruit and juice, of course, better than frozen or canned fruit with added sugar or sweeteners.\n\nIt is recommended to consume 3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, dried beans, eggs and nuts a day to meet the needs of B vitamins, protein, iron and zinc. In addition, protein, calcium and phosphorus can also be obtained from the consumption of milk, yogurt and cheese. Pregnant women still need fat in moderation. Fat provides long-term energy for growth and is needed for brain development. \n\n Therefore, the amount and type of food consumed needs to be prepared properly at dawn and breaking the fast.\n\nApart from nutrition, fluid requirements must also be considered, pregnant women are advised to consume at least 2-3 liters of fluids per day to avoid fluid deficiency or dehydration. This liquid includes the consumption of water, milk, juice, and liquid foods such as soup. Consumption of liquids such as milk and juice, of course, apart from meeting the mother's fluid needs, can also help meet her daily calorie needs.\n\nHowever, there are other studies which show that pregnant women who fast in the first trimester tend to have a 1.5 times higher risk of experiencing fetal growth disorders than those who do not fast. This is related to the process of formation of the placenta and important organs which all occur in the first trimester and this is greatly influenced by the adequacy of micronutrients, vitamins and minerals in early \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The more advanced the severity of the cancer, the higher the stage. \n\n Determination of this staging can vary, depending on which part of the body is experiencing malignancy, staging is also used in disease diagnosis to determine treatment strategies and predict patient life. \n\n Components to assess the stage of cancer: \n\n 1. The size of the bump \n\n 2. Causes to the surrounding lymph nodes \n\n 3. The spread of cancer cells in other organs that are located far from the breast or called metastasis. \n\n Stages of Breast Cancer: \n\n \n Stadium 0 \n \n\n While the cancer is still in the breast ducts (mammary glands), it has not spread to the lymph nodes or the surrounding healthy tissue. At this stage the patient has a good life expectancy with a high cure rate \n\n \n Stage 1 \n \n\n The tumor is still small, has not spread to the lymph nodes or has metastasized. Including early or early stage \n\n \n Stages 2 and 3 \n \n\n Cancer is moderate to large, with or without spread to lymph nodes or surrounding areas but has not metastasized. Also known as advanced local stage \n\n \n Stage 4 \n \n\n Cancer of any size, with or without spread to the lymph nodes or surrounding areas, and has metastasized. This stage is also known as the final stage. \n\n To determine the stage in a patient requires a complete series of examinations.

Stay alert ! Severe pain during menstruation causes infertility<\/a><\/h3>
Nowadays, more and more women of reproductive age are experiencing severe pain during menstruation, an early sign of endometriosis. The problem is, severe enough endometriosis can interfere with the fertility of women who suffer from it, making it difficult to get children (infertility). Endometriosis interferes with the reproductive system by closing the ovaries, stiffening the fallopian tubes when they catch sperm, and triggering antibodies to attack sperm. \n\n Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that should line the uterine wall (endometrium) grows and builds up outside the uterus. Under normal circumstances, the uterine lining tissue will thicken when you are about to have a fertile period. This happens in preparation so that the prospective fetus can attach to the uterus if fertilization occurs. If there is no fertilization, the thickened endometrium will shed and leave the body in the form of blood. Well, that's when you have your period. \n\n Some Possible Causes of Endometriosis \n\n 1. Retrograde Menstruation \n\n Two-way (trograde) menstruation occurs when endometrial cells and tissue that should be wasted into the vagina also flow towards the cervix (cervix) and fallopian tubes. After that, attached to the walls of the pelvis and the surface of the pelvic organs, grows, continues to thicken and bleed throughout the menstrual cycle. In many cases, retrograde menstruation is the most common cause of endometriosis. \n\n 2. Embryo Cell Changes \n\n Embryonic cells produce cells that line the abdomen and pelvic cavity. If one or more small areas of the stomach lining turn into endometrial tissue, this could be the cause of endometriosis. This condition is generally influenced by the hormone estrogen that is not balanced. \n\n 3. Immune System Disorders \n\n The immune system has a problem that makes it unable to recognize and destroy endometrial tissue that grows outside the uterus. \n\n 4. Surgical Scars \n\n If you've had surgery, such as a hysterectomy or cesarean section, the implants that form after surgery can make cells stick together, which can lead to endometriosis. \n\n 5. Circulation of Endometrial Cells By Blood Vessels \n\n The endometrium can be carried by blood vessels or tissue fluids to other parts of the body, so it can be a cause of endometriosis. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Endometriosis Most women with endometriosis do not show any symptoms. However, when it does occur, symptoms of endometriosis can include: \n\n \n Worse pelvic pain during menstruation \n Pain during intercourse \n Bleeding outside the menstrual cycle \n Excessive blood volume during menstruation \n When defecating or urinating \n Infertility \n Diarrhea \n Nausea \n Stomach bloating \n \n\n \n\n Endometriosis Treatment \n\n There is no specific drug that can treat endometriosis. However, symptoms can often be managed with painkillers or hormone medications, which help keep daily activities from being disrupted. Surgery to remove endometrial tissue is sometimes needed to improve any symptoms, including impaired fertility. Common surgeries performed are: \n\n \n Laparoscopy: This procedure is performed to remove endometrial tissue or burn the tissue using a laser or electric current. This procedure is usually done for patients who still want to have children. \n Hysterectomy: This procedure is a surgical removal of the uterus, cervix, and both ovaries. After this procedure, the patient can no longer get pregnant and has a higher risk of developing heart and blood vessel disease. \n Laparotomy: This procedure is performed to access the affected organ and remove the endometrial tissue. \n \n\n For Hermina's friends, if you experience symptoms like the ones above, don't panic. Friends can consult and entrust the obstetrician specialist at Hermina Samarinda Hospital. Healthy greetings \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
