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>

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>

Is Frequent Vaginal Discharge Dangerous?<\/a><\/h3>
Vaginal discharge is something that all women have experienced. Nearly 90% of women in Indonesia experience vaginal discharge problems because Indonesia is an area with humid temperatures. By definition, vaginal discharge, or, in medical terms, fluoroalbus, leucorrhea, or white discharge, is a condition where fluid or mucus comes from the female genitals or vagina and is not blood. The fluid, or mucus, produced by the vagina and cervix transports dead cells and bacteria out of the vagina, thereby keeping it clean. If you bleed, it is called menstruation, and if the fluid or mucus is not blood, it is called vaginal discharge. \n\n Not all vaginal discharge experienced by women is pathological or diseased, but there is also vaginal discharge that is physiological or normal and usually occurs during menstruation, after menstruation, during the fertile period, and after using IUD contraception. Meanwhile, pathological vaginal discharge is usually caused by inflammation, tumours, polyps, and most often, cervical cancer. \n\n Vaginal discharge is usually complained of when it produces symptoms. Symptoms will usually appear because of the excessive amount or production of vaginal discharge. Abnormal vaginal discharge is usually caused by an infection, which usually comes from a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection. which is triggered by a poor immune system. \n\n Prevention of Vaginal Discharge \n\n Vaginal discharge can be prevented by doing several things, such as: \n\n \n Maintain body endurance. \n Maintain the cleanliness of the vaginal organs. \n Avoid using pantyliners continuously. \n Clean the genital organs with running water. \n Avoid wearing tight trousers. \n \n\n Characteristics of abnormal vaginal discharge: \n\n Under normal conditions, the mucus and body fluids that come out have certain properties. For example, the colour can be clear or white or odourless, and the texture changes depending on your menstrual cycle. However, if the mucus and body fluids released cause symptoms such as itching, a foul or fishy smell, and vaginal discharge that changes colour, then the vaginal discharge is abnormal vaginal discharge and requires treatment. \n\n Hermina friends, listen to Dr. Fahmialdi, Sp.OG, in full on the Hermina Podcast about vaginal discharge on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel (click here). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it true that women are more at risk of stroke??<\/a><\/h3>
Is it true that women are more at risk of stroke?? \n\n Stroke is a medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or stopped, usually due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. This causes brain cells not to get an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients, causing damage to brain tissue. \n\n There are two types of stroke that a person can experience, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. \n\n Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked by a blood clot or cholesterol plaque. This stops blood flow to certain areas of the brain, which causes brain cells to die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. \n\n Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and results in bleeding. Blood coming out of ruptured blood vessels can damage brain tissue and increase pressure on the brain. \n\n Symptoms of stroke in women and men generally include a drooping face, not being able to move one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and balance problems. However, women who have a stroke usually also experience typical symptoms that are not felt by men who suffer from stroke. \n\n Women are more susceptible to stroke due to hormones. Hormone levels, especially estrogen, can affect the strength of blood vessels and make them more susceptible to tears and blood clots. \n\n Before discussing this health problem further, first find out the reasons why women are more susceptible to stroke than men. Stroke can attack anyone, both men and women, young people and the elderly. However, this health problem is more susceptible to attacking women. \n\n This is influenced by the different body conditions of women from men, here are some of them: \n\n \n Hormonal changes during pregnancy \n Menopause after old age \n Side effects of using contraceptive pills: women are more susceptible to atrial fibrillation which causes stroke \n Genetic factors predispose some women to hypertension and obesity, both of which are the main causes of stroke \n \n\n Stroke can be treated better when the symptoms that appear are not too severe. Here are a number of stroke symptoms in women that need to be recognized as quickly as possible: \n\n \n Abnormal facial conditions \n \n\n A strange facial appearance or numbness on one side are early symptoms of stroke that you need to be aware of. \n\n \n Difficulty Speaking \n \n\n When experiencing a stroke. A person may babble, speak incoherently, or even be unable to speak at all. \n\n \n Fainting \n \n\n Fainting can be caused by various things, such as sudden shock, low blood pressure, or pregnancy. However, stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked. \n\n \n Dizziness and Nausea \n \n\n Vertigo, which is characterized by nausea and dizziness, is a symptom of stroke that is sometimes unnoticed but it is common in women. \n\n \n Feeling dazed \n \n\n Sudden and drastic changes in personality or mental state for no apparent reason may be a sign of a problem. \n\n \n Extraordinary Headache \n \n\n Chronic migraines increase your risk of having a stroke or dying from a stroke by 50 percent. \n\n \n Seizures \n \n\n Strokes are very dangerous because they can quickly cause brain damage. \n\n \n Hiccups \n \n\n Hiccups that occur continuously and cannot be stopped are a sign of a stroke. \n\n Strokes in women can become more prone to occur, over time, especially after menopause. It is important to pay attention to a number of these symptoms so that the problem does not get worse. \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>

Stony Bile? This Appears To Be The Cause<\/a><\/h3>
Bile is a gland that has an important role in the digestive process, especially cholesterol in the body. If bile function is impaired, gallstones can form. For this reason, most stones in the gallbladder are composed of cholesterol, which precipitates and hardens in the gallbladder. \n\n Although most of them are caused by cholesterol, there are still many that can cause stones in the gallbladder. For more details, just look at the full review below : \n\n \n\n What are gallstones ? \n\n The term gallstones is often used to refer to stones in the gallbladder that are formed from hardened digestive juices. The gallbladder itself is an organ in the digestive system that is small and shaped like a pear. \n\n There are many types of stones in the bile that are distinguished based on their main constituent components. Here's an explanation : \n\n \n \n Cholesterol stones are formed from high cholesterol in the bile. \n \n \n Bilirubin stones: These stones are poorly soluble in water and are formed due to the precipitation of calcium bilirubin salts or infection. \n \n \n Mixed Stone: As the name implies, its constituent components are a mixture of cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts. \n \n \n Causes of gallstone disease \n \n \n\n Each type of gallstone has different constituent components. Many causes cause various types of stones in the gallbladder, including the following : \n\n \n \n High-fat foods \n \n \n\n One of the biggest factors that causes the formation of bile is cholesterol. Cholesterol is found in foods that have a high fat content, especially animal protein sources. Patients with gallstones should reduce their fat consumption by 25–40 g per day. \n\n \n \n Consume simple carbohydrates and refined sugars. \n \n \n\n In one study, it was stated that consuming more than 40 g of sugar a day would double the risk of gallstones. Therefore, you must be smart in choosing the type of carbohydrate that does not contain a lot of sugar and is safe for bile. \n\n \n \n Consuming red meat and its processed products in excess \n \n \n\n The high cholesterol and sodium content of meat and its preparations make this type of food harmful to the bile if consumed in excess. Therefore, in order not to form cholesterol stones in the bile, limit the consumption of meat and its preparations. \n\n \n \n High-fat milk and its processes \n \n \n\n Milk is a good natural source of calcium if consumed as needed. However, if the consumption is excessive, especially if you choose high-fat milk and processed products, it will be a disaster that can form gallstones in the future. \n\n \n \n Junk Food \n \n \n\n The term junk food is used for foods that have low nutritional content but high energy. Usually junk food has a very high fat content, so the total energy is high. This high fat content is dangerous because it can form gallstones. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of gallstones \n\n Every disease or disorder in the body must cause symptoms that can be felt, although sometimes they are not specific, so further examination is needed by an expert. The following are the symptoms that often appear in sufferers : \n\n \n \n Fever \n \n \n\n If you have a fever and chills accompanied by a fast-beat heart that you feel when you have a stomach ache, you need to suspect that you have a problem with the bile. If these symptoms begin to appear, it means that the bile has become blocked and an infection has occurred there. \n\n \n \n Changes in Urine and Stool Color \n \n \n\n People with gallstones will have high levels of bilirubin in their blood. This is what causes the symptoms of changes in the color of urine and feces to become paler. This is because the stone has blocked and inhibited the flow of bile into the large intestine. \n\n \n \n Jaundice \n \n \n\n Jaundice is the appearance of a yellow color on the skin and mucous membranes, for example, on the whites of the eyes. This yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes is caused by a high concentration of bilirubin in the blood, which accumulates in the skin and mucous membranes of the body. \n\n \n \n Pain in the solar plexus \n \n \n\n These symptoms appear like digestive tract diseases in general. Tastes range from mild to heavy. The symptoms are indeed similar to gastric acid, but with gallstones, heartburn occurs more often. \n\n \n \n Nausea and vomiting \n \n \n\n Feelings of nausea and wanting to vomit also appear; this is because the stones that clog will cause digestive enzymes to flow and irritate them. This is what causes inflammation and swelling of the digestive tract, causing nausea and vomiting. \n\n \n \n Stomach ache \n \n \n\n These symptoms are not very specific but always appear in sufferers. If you only feel stomach pain, most people will not be aware of the formation of stones in the bile. However, if the symptoms of abdominal pain are accompanied by other symptoms, check with your doctor immediately to be sure. \n\n Prevention is better than cure; this saying is true. It is very important to keep the body healthy and avoid all diseases, including gallstones. One of them is to maintain a good and correct diet. \n\n In addition, understanding the symptoms of the disease more quickly will also speed up treatment for sufferers so that their condition does not worsen. So recognize the symptoms of gallstones early so that the right treatment can be done immediately. Consult with a surgeon at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends of Hermina can also consult online through the Halo Hermina application. \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>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
