Understanding Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in Men: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n A meta-analysis study published by Lee et al. illustrates that the prevalence of BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) in the world increases with age. The highest prevalence is in the age group of 70 years, with a median prevalence of 25.2% (19–37.9%). Until now, the incidence of BPH in Indonesia has never been studied, so the number cannot be known with certainty. \n\n Although rarely life-threatening, BPH presents complaints that can interfere with daily activities. This condition is a result of obstruction of the bladder neck and urethra due to BPH. Furthermore, this obstruction can lead to changes in the structure of the bladder and kidney, causing complications in the upper and lower urinary tracts. BPH patients often complain of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) consisting of irritation symptoms (storage), obstruction symptoms (voiding), and post-micturition symptoms. Obstruction symptoms include labored voiding, weak and intermittent urinary output, and dissatisfaction after micturition. Irritation symptoms include increased urinary frequency, urgency (difficulty holding urine), and nocturia (more than one nighttime urination). Post-micturition symptoms include urine dribbling (terminal dribbling) and the most severe symptom of urine retention (inability to micturate). \n\n The relationship between BPH and LUTS is complex. Not all BPH patients complain of micturition disorders or vice versa. Several retrospective studies in Indonesia showed that the frequency of complaints obtained in BPH patients included difficulty or inability to micturate (55.5%–59.6%), frequency symptoms (10.1%–48%), intermittent urine flow (7.9%–34%), voiding (7.9%–14%), feeling of inadequacy after micturition (5.6%–23%), and nocturia complaints (3.4%–44%). \n\n To establish the diagnosis of BPH, a complete history and physical examination are necessary. There are also several questionnaires that can help direct and determine the presence of obstruction symptoms due to BPH. One questionnaire that has been widely used is the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS). The use of a complaint score questionnaire in male patients with LUTS needs to be done routinely to assess complaints and the quality of life of patients with LUTS, as well as for re-evaluation during and/or after therapy. Supportive examinations such as laboratory tests, urinary tract ultrasound, uroflowmetry (urinary jet test), and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) examinations also need to be performed to establish the diagnosis and determine BPH management. \n\n The management of BPH patients aims to improve the patient's quality of life. The therapy given to patients depends on the degree of complaints, the patient's condition, and the availability of hospital facilities. Treatment options for BPH are (1) conservative (watchful waiting), (2) medication, and (3) surgery. \n\n Conservative therapy in BPH can be in the form of watchful waiting, where the patient does not receive any therapy but the development of the disease is still monitored by the doctor. This conservative therapy is usually done in patients with mild complaints that do not interfere with daily activities. In this conservative therapy, patients are given an explanation of everything that might improve or worsen their complaints, for example: \n\n \n Avoid drinking a lot of water before going to bed. \n Do not drink a lot and consume drinks that contain caffeine, alcohol, or chocolate because it will increase urine production. \n Use the double voiding technique by emptying urine again with a 5-minute interval after the first micturition. \n To stop pee from trickling after micturition, squeeze the base of the penis towards the urethra, or "milk the urethra." \n \n\n If BPH patients have experienced complaints that interfere with their daily activities, it is necessary to provide medical therapy. Medicinal therapy that can be given includes giving alpha-1 blocker drugs (such as tamsulosin, silodosin, etc.), which can be combined with 5-alpha reductase inhibitor drugs (such as finasteride, dutasteride, etc.). \n\n If BPH patients have experienced severe symptoms, it is strongly recommended to do surgery. The absolute indications for surgery in BPH patients include patients who cannot urinate, so they need to wear a catheter tube; recurrent urinary tract infections; recurrent bloody urine; bladder stones; and decreased kidney function due to prostate enlargement. While the relative indications for surgery include if the patient refuses medical therapy and patients who experience moderate to severe complaints but do not improve with medical therapy, surgical therapy in BPH patients is generally performed with the TURP (transurethral resection of prostate) method, which resects the transitional tissue of the prostate with a urological endoscopic process (surgery without incisions). \n\n   \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Soreang Hospital. \n\n   \n\n \n\n Bibliography \n\n \n Tjahjodjati, et al.

Beware of Lumps on the Extremities<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina, if recognized early, the lumps that appear can be treated with appropriate treatment.\n\nLumps or tumors can appear in any part of the body and this can be caused by birth defects, infection or inflammation, injury, and abnormal growth of body cells. If it doesn't go away, you should be careful. Changes in the lymph nodes, which are often characterized by a lump, are actually a common thing when an infection occurs. But unfortunately these changes can also be an indication of lymphoma or leukemia. Lumps in the limbs in medical terms are known as tumors and can be benign or malignant. Until now, the cause of the majority of tumors in the extremities is still unknown. Tumors in the extremities can originate from soft tissue structures such as muscles, nerves, blood vessels, or from bone structures. The age range of tumor sufferers varies depending on the structure of the tumor's origin, so that some are predominantly affected at a young age and others at an old age. \n\n Symptoms that are often found include the appearance of lumps on the extremities. The development of the size of this lump varies depending on whether the tumor is benign or malignant. If the tumor is benign, it will grow bigger in a matter of years, whereas if the tumor is malignant it will grow bigger in a matter of weeks to months. Other symptoms may include pain or discomfort in the extremities. In cases of malignant tumors, it can be accompanied by other symptoms involving the body's systems, such as decreased appetite, body feeling weak, and weight loss.\n\nWe must understand that lumps can be dangerous or not, this can be proven from the results of examinations by doctors and medical support. \n\n The following are criteria related to how to distinguish lumps that are dangerous and those that are not:\n\n1. Time of appearance of the lump\nThe first way to differentiate between dangerous lumps and not is to know when the lump appears.\nCongenital lumps or ones that have been present since birth are usually not dangerous, for example hemangioma. These lumps generally do not require treatment because they will shrink by themselves as you get older. \n\n 2. Causes of lumps\nApart from knowing when a lump appears, how to differentiate between dangerous lumps and those that are not can also be known from the cause of their appearance.\nMost lumps resulting from injury are simply muscle bruises that appear due to ruptured blood vessels. Generally, lumps caused by bruises will shrink by themselves. \n\n 3. Infection of the lump\nLumps due to infection will usually appear in the form of a collection of pus. This condition is also called an abscess or boil. However, don't worry, because abscesses can be treated by taking antibiotics from a doctor or with a minor surgical procedure.\n\n4. Characteristics of the lump\nYou can also distinguish between dangerous and harmless lumps by their characteristics. A lump that is hard, cannot be moved, has an uneven surface, and grows quickly is usually a dangerous lump so it needs to be seen by a doctor immediately. \n\n 5. Symptoms that accompany the lump\nIf the lump is accompanied by other symptoms, such as drastic weight loss as well as fever and prolonged fatigue, you need to be alert and immediately consult a doctor.\nThe reason is, lumps accompanied by the symptoms above could be a sign of certain medical conditions, for example cancer.\n\n\nAfter knowing how to differentiate between dangerous lumps and those that are not, you are expected to be able to respond to the appearance of lumps. Even though you can identify it yourself using the various methods above, an examination by a doctor is still necessary, especially if the lump looks abnormal. Immediately consult if there is a suspicious lump and make sure not to delay carrying out further examination. \n\n   \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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>

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>

Is a urinary tract infection dangerous? Here are 5 facts you should know!<\/a><\/h3>
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition in which the organs belonging to the urinary system become infected. These organs can be the kidneys, ureters, urethra, or bladder. But urinary tract infections generally occur in the urethra and bladder. Starting from the kidneys, residual substances in the blood are filtered and excreted in the form of urine, which then flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. After being accommodated in the bladder, urine will be excreted out of the body through a channel called the urethra. Urinary tract infections occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra. After that, bacteria multiply in the bladder. If left untreated, bacteria can cause infections in the kidneys. \n\n Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition that often occurs and can happen to anyone. Even though it looks trivial, UTIs can actually be dangerous if not treated properly. Here are 5 important facts about UTIs that you should know: \n\n 1. UTIs can affect anyone, but women are more susceptible to them because their urethra (urinary tract) is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder. In addition, the urine disposal hole is also closer to the anus and vagina, so it is prone to bacteria that stop by and breed there. Bacteria can enter the urethra in various ways. When having sex, bacteria in the vagina can be pushed into the urethra and end up in the bladder. In addition, the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are also prone to entering the bladder when someone cleans defecation from the back to the front. \n\n 2. UTI symptoms are not always the same, depending on the location of the infection and how severe the condition is. However, the common symptoms that often appear are: \n\n - Urination feels painful, hot, or stings. \n\n - Constantly urinating frequently but little or no urine comes out; \n\n - Fever; \n\n - Frequently wakes up at night with the urge to urinate; \n\n - Stomach below the navel hurts; \n\n - Urine smells bad; \n\n - Urine looks more cloudy or red because there is blood; \n\n - Nausea and vomiting; \n\n - Back pain \n\n 3. Do not take UTI symptoms lightly, because if not treated properly, the bacteria can spread to the kidneys and cause a more serious kidney infection. Kidney infections can cause permanent damage to the organ. \n\n 4. There are several factors that can increase a person's risk of getting a UTI, such as poor hygiene, a history of previous UTIs, menopause in women, abnormalities in the urinary tract, or a weak immune system. \n\n 5. To prevent UTIs, there are several actions you can take, such as maintaining personal hygiene, drinking enough water, urinating as soon as you feel the urge to urinate, and avoiding using chemical products that have the potential to damage the pH balance in intimate areas. \n\n Don't ignore the symptoms of a UTI and immediately consult a urologist at Hermina Depok Hospital if you experience these symptoms. Remember that prevention is always better than treatment, so always maintain your health and personal hygiene to avoid the risk of dangerous UTIs! \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize the Symptoms of Anemia in Adolescents<\/a><\/h3>
Entering the teenage years, the many activities and hobbies that are carried out make teenagers more active in carrying out daily activities. That way, it is important for teenagers to maintain a healthy body so as to avoid various kinds of health problems that can interfere with daily activities. One of the diseases to watch out for is anemia. \n\n What is anemia? \n\n Anemia is a condition in which the body lacks healthy or functional red blood cells (hemoglobin). As a result, the body's organs do not get enough oxygen, thus making people with anemia pale and easily tired. \n\n Causes of Anemia \n\n Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color. Hemoglobin functions to deliver oxygen in the blood from the lungs throughout the body and transports carbon dioxide from all parts of the body to the lungs so that it can be removed from the body. \n\n Well, when the body does not have enough red blood cells, anemia occurs. The normal level of red blood cells, or hemoglobin, is 12 g/dL. This could be due to the following reasons: \n\n -There is a problem with the immune system. \n\n -have a history of chronic health problems \n\n -Genetic factors, if parents have a history of anemia and other related blood disorders \n\n -have health problems with the spinal cord \n\n -is currently pregnant. \n\n -Inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals \n\n Symptoms of anemia \n\n Remember the 5L for the symptoms of anemia, namely, weak, tired, lethargic, tired, and inattentive. In addition, other symptoms experienced include: \n\n -Headaches and dizziness \n\n -Often sleepy \n\n -Dizziness when standing \n\n -Palor of the skin and lower eyelids \n\n -Cold hands and feet \n\n Diagnosis of anemia \n\n To find out the diagnosis of anemia, the doctor will conduct an examination through a medical interview and a complete blood test to find out the common types of anemia, which consist of: \n\n -levels of iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, and other vitamins and minerals. \n\n -Number of red blood cells and hemoglobin levels \n\n -Reticulocyte count \n\n Anemia Treatment \n\n Anemia is a condition that can be cured by administering drugs according to the cause, such as: \n\n -Erythropoietin, a drug that helps the bone marrow produce red blood cells. \n\n -Consuming folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12 supplements \n\n -Perform blood transfusion if necessary. \n\n Anemia Prevention \n\n The main prevention of anemia can be done by consuming foods that contain iron, zinc, vitamins A, C, and B12, and folic acid. Meanwhile, some other ways of prevention are: \n\n -Consume blood-boosting tablets as directed. \n\n -Exercise regularly \n\n -Drink 8 glasses of water per day. \n\n -Reduce caffeine (tea and coffee). \n\n If your teenager or you have complaints that lead to anemia, immediately consult an internal medicine specialist. To make it easier when you want to make an appointment with a doctor, make an online consultation appointment via the Hermina website, mobile apps, or call center at 1500488. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

DON'T ASSUME NORMAL PEOPLE IS NOT CURRENT IN MEN<\/a><\/h3>
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that causes swelling of the prostate gland. However, the condition is not cancerous, or the cells are abnormal. The prostate gland itself has a function to produce semen and is located in the hip cavity between the bladder and the penis. \n\n Risk Factors for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n At least there are several conditions that can trigger BPH. Here are some risk factors to watch out for, namely: · \n\n \n Aging factor. An enlarged prostate gland rarely causes signs and symptoms in men under the age of 40. About a third of men experience moderate to severe symptoms by age 60, and about half have symptoms by age 80. · \n Family history, Having a biological relative, such as a father or brother, with prostate problems increases the risk of developing BPH. · \n Lifestyle. Obesity and lack of exercise can increase the risk of BPH. Therefore, it is important to exercise regularly. \n \n\n Causes of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n Unfortunately, until now, the cause of BPH is not known with certainty. However, it is suspected that this condition occurs due to changes in sexual hormone levels due to aging. The male urinary system has a tube that excretes urine, otherwise known as the urethra. This urethral pathway passes through the prostate gland. If there is an enlargement of the prostate gland, it can narrow the urethra over time. The condition eventually causes the flow of urine to become blocked. This blockage will make the bladder muscles enlarge. \n\n Symptoms of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n When a person has BPH, there are several symptoms that they may experience, such as: \n\n \n Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night. \n Experiencing urinary incontinence (beser) or a significant increase in the intensity of urination. \n Difficulty passing urine. · \n Straining while urinating. \n Stagnant flow of urine. \n Passing urine with blood. \n Feeling incomplete after urinating. \n \n\n These symptoms arise due to pressure on the bladder and urethra. This pressure occurs when the prostate gland becomes swollen or enlarged. Therefore, immediately see a doctor if you experience these symptoms. \n\n In the case of BPH, this condition is in dire need of a proper diagnosis. Because there are several other health conditions whose symptoms are similar to BPH. For example: \n\n \n Prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate. \n Urinary tract infection. \n Urethral narrowing. \n Kidney stones and bladder stones. \n Surgical scars on the bladder neck. \n Bladder cancer. \n Prostate cancer. \n Disorders of the nerves that regulate bladder activity. \n \n\n Diagnosis of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n To diagnose this disease, the doctor will conduct a medical interview to find out the symptoms experienced by the patient. The doctor will also generally perform a physical examination such as: · \n\n \n Digital rectal examination. \n The doctor inserts a finger into the rectum to check for an enlarged prostate. \n Urine test. Analyzing a urine sample can help rule out infections or other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. · \n Blood test. The results can show whether or not there is a problem with the kidneys. \n Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA is a substance produced in the prostate. PSA levels increase when you have an enlarged prostate. However, elevated PSA levels can also be caused by a recent procedure, infection, surgery, or prostate cancer. \n \n\n Prevention of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n According to research, the risk of developing benign prostate enlargement (BPH) can be prevented through the consumption of foods rich in fiber and protein, and low in fat. Also avoid eating red meat. High-fiber foods include green beans, brown rice, broccoli, oats, cabbage, radishes, spinach, apples and oats. Meanwhile, high protein foods include fish, eggs, soybeans, chicken breast, low-fat milk and cheese. \n\n When to go to the doctor? \n\n If you experience these symptoms, immediately consult a doctor to get the right treatment. This is because BPH that is not treated early on properly can lead to various complications. For example, such as urinary tract infections, to damage to the bladder and kidneys. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Erectile Dysfunction Due to Diabetes<\/a><\/h3>
Erectile Dysfunction Due to Diabetes \n\n “There is a disturbance during sexual intercourse is actually a natural thing, if it only happens occasionally. However, people with diabetes will have a higher risk factor for experiencing sexual dysfunction. Because high levels of sugar in the blood can damage the natural function of blood vessels, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.” \n\n Erectile dysfunction in a person with diabetes occurs due to changes in the body that cause disturbances in the nerves and blood vessels. High levels of sugar in the blood can damage the natural function of blood vessels, so that a person cannot get an erection optimally. \n\n Keep in mind that the penis is not a muscle. The penis itself cannot be moved intentionally during an erection. Erection itself occurs due to changes in blood flow to the penis. When stimulated, the nerves will make the blood vessels in the penis widen, so that the incoming blood flow will be greater than the outgoing one, so that the organ hardens. \n\n In people with diabetes, they will have disorders of the blood vessels. This condition makes blood unable to stay in the penis, so erectile dysfunction can occur. Not only people with diabetes, people with high blood pressure and heart disease must also be vigilant, because both have the same risk of developing erectile dysfunction. \n\n Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients: \n\n Those with erectile dysfunction may experience several symptoms, including: \n\n • Decrease or loss of desire to have sex. \n\n • Erectile dysfunction, which is characterized by the difficulty of a man in keeping his penis hard during sexual intercourse. \n\n • Have an orgasmic disorder. Unlike women, men will experience ejaculation too quickly. This condition is known as premature ejaculation. Men can also have the opposite condition. \n\n Erectile dysfunction can interfere with your pleasure. This is certainly not something that can be underestimated. Because, if left alone, the quality of the couple's relationship could decline. \n\n Erectile Dysfunction Risk Factors Other Than Diabetes: \n\n In addition to diabetes, there are several other risk factors that can trigger erectile dysfunction, including: \n\n • Certain health conditions, such as heart problems. \n\n • Consumption of tobacco, as it can restrict blood flow to the veins and arteries. Over time, this can lead to chronic health problems that can lead to erectile dysfunction. \n\n • Overweight or obese. \n\n • Take certain medications, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, and drugs that reduce blood pressure. \n\n • An injury or injury that causes damage to the nerves or arteries that control erections. \n\n • Psychological conditions, such as stress, anxiety disorders to depression. \n\n • Use of drugs and alcohol, especially if they are used for a long time. \n\n Interference during sexual intercourse is actually a natural thing, if it only happens occasionally. However, people with diabetes will have a higher factor in experiencing sexual dysfunction. Therefore, people with diabetes need to have regular check-ups to prevent complications, one of which is erectile dysfunction. \n\n People with diabetes also need to pay attention to the intake of vitamin C in their bodies. Because, vitamin C can control blood sugar levels and control the amount of cholesterol in people with diabetes. Therefore, make sure that the intake of vitamin C is met properly. \n\n Don't forget to consult your doctor first if Hermina's friend experiences symptoms of erectile dysfunction to get the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
