Recognize early and fight breast cancer<\/a><\/h3>
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that attacks the breast as a result of uncontrolled cell growth. \n\n The people at risk of breast cancer are: \n\n \n Early menstruation (over 12 years) and late menopause (over 50 years) \n First pregnancy at the age of 35 years \n Not breastfeeding \n Long-term use of oral contraceptives \n Unhealthy lifestyle \n Genetic factors Recognize early and fight breast cancer. \n \n\n Apart from the above, there are risk factors that can be avoided to prevent breast cancer by doing several things, such as: \n\n \n Maintain your weight. \n Exercise regularly; \n Get enough sleep; \n Limit alcohol. \n Breastfeeding \n \n\n You should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer, namely: \n\n \n A lump appears and does not cause pain. \n The surface of the breast seems to be pulled \n There is a concave surface. \n The discharge from the breast may contain blood and be yellow and purulent. \n The surface of the breast is red. \n Changes in skin color \n \n\n The way to detect breast cancer is with the BSE method (self-breast examination) because it is easy, can be done at home, and no equipment is needed. \n\n Steps that can be used to detect breast cancer early include: \n\n \n In front of the mirror, raise your hand and check whether there is redness or swelling in the breast. \n Place your hands on your waist and examine your breasts as in Step 1. \n Press the breast from top to bottom and feel for any lumps. \n Press the breast in circles and feel for any lumps. \n Press the breast towards the nipple and see if any fluid comes out. \n Lie down and press the breasts again in circles. \n \n\n BSE is done at the age of 20 years or since menstruation, every month, on the 7–10th day after the first day of menstruation. \n\n For those who have gone through menopause, do it every month on the same date. Treatment can be non-surgical, namely radiation and chemotherapy, as well as surgery with the removal of the breast tumor. \n\n Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that attacks the breast as a result of uncontrolled cell growth. If not treated early and appropriately, breast cancer can spread to surrounding organs. For this reason, we must regularly examine the breasts so that if there are any abnormalities, they can be treated immediately. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is Colic Abdomen ?<\/a><\/h3>
What is abdominal colic? \n\n Abdominal colic is severe pain due to obstruction of a hollow organ in the human body, which usually occurs in the internal organs of the stomach. Colic is pain with very high intensity accompanied by accompanying symptoms such as cold sweat, heartburn, nausea and even vomiting. It is not uncommon for someone experiencing colic to seek help from a hospital emergency department because the pain is severe. The most common cause of abdominal colic is obstruction of the urinary tract in both the kidneys and ureters by stones. \n\n \n\n Character of renal and ureteric colic pain \n\n Patients with renal or ureteral colic usually present with complaints of severe pain in the waist that radiates to the stomach or groin. Pain is usually sudden, not influenced by activity or body movement caused by stretching of the kidney capsule and ureteral peristalsis. Accompanying symptoms such as cold sweat, heartburn, nausea and vomiting may also occur. \n\n \n\n What causes renal and ureteral colic? \n\n The cause of renal and ureteral colic is blockage of the smooth muscle channels from the kidneys to the ureters and stretching of the kidney capsule due to obstruction of urine flow. Blockages are most often caused by stones, but other causes such as tumors and smooth muscle spasms can also play a role. \n\n \n\n What is first aid for colic? \n\n If you experience severe pain that originates from within the stomach, the first step you can take is to take non-steroidal analgesic drugs which can be purchased freely at pharmacies or drug stores. If the pain does not improve, immediately seek help from the nearest hospital emergency room, you may need an analgesic injection into a blood vessel. \n\n \n\n The next step after colic is resolved \n\n After the colic has been resolved, you need a supporting examination in the form of a complete urine examination, routine blood, urea, creatinine (to estimate kidney function) and abdominal ultrasound. If there is a suspicion that there is a blockage in the urinary tract, a non-contrast urography CT scan should be done to determine the cause of the blockage (stones or non-stone). \n\n \n\n What should I do if there are stones in my urinary tract? \n\n As time goes by, urinary tract stones can be removed with non-surgical therapy or minimally invasive surgical therapy with small or no wounds. \n\n Urinary tract stones have different treatments according to the location and size of the stone, but in general stones measuring less than 5 mm can pass spontaneously with lots of drinking and the help of medication. Large kidney stones (more than 2 cm) can be treated with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) with small incisions in the skin or open surgery. For kidney stones under 2 cm, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be performed with shock waves focused directly on the kidney and without incisions. \n\n For large ureteral stones and heavy blockages, laparoscopic or open surgery can be performed, for medium to small sized stones ESWL or endoscopic stone splitting (URS) can be performed. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to Know Electrocauterization Closer: Recent Innovations in Modern Surgery<\/a><\/h3>
Medical technology continues to develop over time, and one of the innovations that dominates the world of modern surgery is electrocauterization. Electrocauterization is a medical device that uses electrical energy to cut or coagulate body tissue during a surgical procedure. This article will explain more about electrocauterization, how it works, and its benefits in the medical world. \n\n 1. How Electrocauterization Works \n\n Electrocauterization works by converting electrical energy into heat, which is used to cut or coagulate tissue. This device consists of electrodes connected to an electrical source and can be used in a variety of surgical applications. There are two main types of electrocautery: monopolar and bipolar. In monopolar electrocautery, an electric current passes through body tissue and returns to the power source via a grounding electrode placed elsewhere on the patient's body. Meanwhile, bipolar electrocautery uses two electrodes that work together in a certain area, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue. \n\n 2. Applications of Electrocauterization in Surgery: \n\n Electrocauterization is used in a variety of surgical procedures, including orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, gynecology, and general surgery. This tool is effective for cutting soft tissue, stopping bleeding, and removing tumors or lesions with high precision. The use of electrocauterization has helped reduce trauma to patients, reduce surgery time, and speed up the healing process. \n\n 3. Benefits of Electrocauterization: \n\n \n reduces the risk of bleeding. \n \n\n Electrocauterization can help reduce the risk of bleeding during surgery. By using an electrocautery device, an electric current is applied to the affected tissue, so that the heat produced will cause coagulation and clotting in the torn or damaged blood vessels. In this case, the use of an electrocautery can be effective in reducing the risk of bleeding by stopping blood flow from injured vessels without the need for open surgery. \n\n \n Speeds up the healing process \n \n\n Electrocauterization can also speed up the wound healing process. When used on injured tissue, the heat generated by electrocautery has a stimulating effect on the skin cells and surrounding tissue. This can increase blood flow to the affected area and stimulate the growth of new tissue. \n\n \n It helps prevent infection. \n \n\n Electrocauterization has the ability to help prevent infection in wounds. When electrocautery is used, the heat generated by it can kill any pathogenic bacteria or microorganisms that may be present in the wound area. These bacteria and microorganisms are often a source of infection and can hinder the healing process. By utilizing heat from electrocautery, the growth and spread of bacteria can be controlled, so the risk of infection is reduced significantly. \n\n \n Improved Appearance \n \n\n Electrocauterization can help improve the appearance of the skin by removing moles, dark spots, scar tissue, or warts. By applying electrical energy through a small probe, electrocautery burns and damages the tissue to be removed, allowing for a better healing process and producing a cosmetically better appearance. \n\n Electrocauterization is an innovative tool that plays an important role in the advancement of modern surgery. With its ability to provide high precision, rapid hemostasis, and a shorter recovery time, electrocauterization has become one of the irreplaceable tools in various medical procedures. As time goes by, it is hoped that electrocauterization technology will continue to develop to provide better and more efficient solutions in the world of surgery. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rehabilitation for Sports Injuries<\/a><\/h3>
According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), exercise is a physical activity to strengthen and make the body healthy. Sports are divided into two categories: traditional sports and modern sports. \n\n \n Traditional sports \n \n\n \n Traditional sports are known as types of sports that originated from the ancestors of the Indonesian people. \n For example, sepak takraw, fort, gasing, gobak sodor, stilts, and so on. \n \n\n \n Modern sports \n \n\n \n Modern sports are sports that have standard rules and are competed professionally. \n We can find modern sports at various national and international sporting events, such as the SEA Games, Olympics, and so on. \n Examples of modern sports are football, table tennis, badminton, athletics, archery, and others. \n \n\n Exercise time should be every day in the morning and evening. Exercise should be done in open, pollution-free air or in a closed room where the room temperature can be regulated, and it should be done for a minimum of 30 minutes. \n\n Preparation for exercise should be carried out with a preliminary examination to determine a safe dose and suitable type of exercise to avoid injury. Warm up before exercising, and cool down after exercising for at least 10 minutes. In individuals with complaints such as frequent dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and diseases such as coronary heart disease, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, etc., the type and dosage of exercise must be consulted with a doctor first. \n\n Sports injuries are injuries that occur during or after playing sports. Different types of sports can produce different injuries with different symptoms and treatments. \n\n The most common sports injuries are: \n\n \n Sprain (sprain) A sprain is an injury that occurs when a joint moves beyond its normal range of motion. The most commonly affected locations are the ankles, wrists, and knees. \n Strains A strain is an injury that occurs due to excessive pulling or stretching of the muscles and tendons (the tissue that connects muscles to bones). The most commonly affected locations are the ankles, knees, and back. \n Broken bones A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone due to pressure or impact with a force greater than the strength of the bone, which can be in the form of a crack (partially broken), completely broken, or fractured. \n Dislocation and subluxation Dislocation and subluxation are conditions when the bones in a joint shift or move out of their normal position. \n Shoulder injury Shoulder injuries are most often experienced in shoulder-dominant sports such as tennis, golf, swimming, and baseball. The cause of shoulder injuries is due to the load and frequent movement on the shoulders. \n Elbow injury Injuries to the elbow can occur in sports that require intense and repetitive elbow movements. \n Back injury The waist is one part of the body that is not immune to injury, especially in sports that involve a lot of work on the waist, such as cycling, golf, or lifting weights. \n Thigh injury Injuries to the thigh most often involve the hamstring muscles, namely the muscles located at the back of the thigh. This type of injury commonly occurs in sports that involve a lot of running activities, such as sprinting, basketball, and football. \n Knee injury The knee is one part of the body that is quite often injured. Not only because of the weight of the body, but knee injuries can also arise due to collisions or because of not being careful when exercising. \n Calf injury Just like thigh injuries, calf injuries more often involve muscles and tendons. The cause is excessive stretching and contraction of the muscles, which can cause tears. \n Ankle injury Injuries to the ankle can vary from sprains, dislocations, tendon tears, and bone fractures. \n \n\n First aid for sports injuries can be done using the RICE principle within the first 72 hours, namely: \n\n \n Rest means resting the injured part. \n Ice means giving an ice cube compress (wrapped in a cloth so it doesn't get too cold) for 5–10 minutes every hour. The use of cold temperatures aims to stop possible bleeding by shrinking blood vessels. \n Compression means applying pressure (usually bandaged—see picture) to the injured area to reduce swelling. \n Elevate means raising the injured part to a higher position when resting to reduce swelling and pain. \n \n\n Immediately consult a doctor if you experience the following signs: \n\n \n Swelling and pain get worse. \n visible lumps or changes in shape. \n A sound is heard when the joint is moved. \n Weakness and inability to carry out activities and support the body. \n loss of balance. \n Difficulty breathing. \n Fever. \n \n\n Severe sports injuries can require advanced treatment ranging from physical therapy to surgery. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Want Always Healthy Eyes? Here are the tips!<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, the eyes are a very important organ for humans. Maintaining eye health can prevent you from various risks of eye disease and even loss of vision. \n\n Tired eyes are usually characterized by soreness around the eyes and a dry feeling that makes vision blurry in some people. Apart from tired eyes, there are many other eye problems that can arise if you don't pay attention or maintain good eye health. \n\n To maintain good eye sight, Hermina's Friends can do the following tips: \n\n \n Maintain Your Diet \n \n\n Daily food intake can actually affect eye health. So that your sense of sight is always healthy, try to regularly consume lots of foods that contain vitamins C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, iron and lutein. These various nutrients can be obtained by consuming lots of green leafy vegetables, salmon, tuna, eggs, nuts and oranges. \n\n \n Give Your Eyes Time to Rest \n \n\n Staring at a computer or laptop screen for too long can also increase the risk of eye damage. This can cause dry and tense eyes, blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, shoulder and back pain, and difficulty focusing when looking at a distance. To prevent this, apply the 20-20-20 rule, namely every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet (about 6 meters) for at least 20 seconds. \n\n \n Diligent in Sports \n \n\n Exercise can reduce the risk of vision loss due to high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. \n\n \n Get your health checked Points Periodically \n \n\n Routine eye examinations can be the best way to prevent damage. This is because an eye examination can monitor the condition of this area and any disorders or health problems that arise can be immediately detected. It is recommended that people, both elderly and young, both men and women, should have their eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist at least once every 2 years. Adults over 40 years of age are advised to have their eyes checked once a year. This can be useful for preventing eye diseases associated with increasing age, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. \n\n Meanwhile, children's eye health should be checked at least once every two years to detect vision problems that might affect their learning abilities. Children do not need to be able to read to have an eye examination. \n\n \n Wear sunglasses when doing outdoor activities \n \n\n UV rays from the sun can also cause eye damage. One way to maintain eye health is to use sunglasses when doing outdoor activities that are exposed to a lot of sunlight. Using sunglasses can protect the eyes from direct exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Using sunglasses can block UVA and UVB rays. The same thing also applies to the contact lenses you use. To protect your eyes better, choose contact lenses that can provide protection from UV rays. \n\n So, let's start diligently getting your eyes checked to avoid eye diseases that can eliminate your ability to see. Stay healthy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know the function of the ovaries in women and the disorders that often occur<\/a><\/h3>
\n The ovaries are very important organs for women. The ovaries function to support the reproductive and menstrual processes in women. Apart from that, the ovaries are also important for women's health because they function to produce hormones. However, if women ignore the health of their female organs, several health problems related to the ovaries will arise.\n\nWhat are Ovaries?\n\nThe ovaries or ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands located on both sides of the uterus. In general, the ovaries are known as a place to produce and store ovum (egg cells). If fertilization occurs during the fertile period by sperm cells, pregnancy will occur. However, after a woman experiences menopause, the ovaries will stop releasing eggs. This is why women who have experienced menopause will not experience menstruation.\n\nOvarian Function\n\nApart from playing an important role in the menstrual cycle and fertilization process, the ovaries also have other functions, including the following:\n\n Producing Female Sex Hormones. One of the functions of the ovaries is to produce female sex hormones, including the hormones estrogen, progesterone, relaxin and inhibin\n Releasing Egg Cells. The second function of the ovaries is to release eggs every time the menstrual cycle occurs in women. Inside the ovaries, there are follicles and each follicle has an active or inactive egg cell.\n Protects Egg Cells. The third function of the ovaries is to protect the egg cells until they are ready to be fertilized by sperm. After birth, every woman generally has a supply of eggs in her body to help support the reproductive process\n\nHowever, if women ignore the health of their female organs, it is possible that several diseases that often occur in the ovaries will occur, including:\n\n Nausea and Diarrhea\n Irregular menstrual cycle\n Stomach bloating and hip pain\n Endometriosis\n Ovarian Cancer\n Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)\n Pelvic Inflammation\n Ovarian Tumor\n Dysmenorrhea (severe pain during menstruation)\n\nTherefore, it is important for women to know the function of the ovarian organs in order to maintain ovarian health and avoid health problems.

The Dangers Behind Lower Back Pain<\/a><\/h3>
Lower back pain has, of course, been everyone's complaint. Most people consider lower back pain to be a common disease that will get better over time. Low back pain usually appears when we do heavy physical activity, but will lower back pain only get better? by leaving it alone? \n\n Low back pain (LBP), often interpreted as lower back pain, is a condition when there is pain or discomfort in the lower back. These symptoms are felt starting from the waist or lower back, which spreads to the lower crease of the buttocks and even spreads to the feet. If left unchecked, this condition will certainly disrupt daily activities. \n\n \n\n Reason \n\n There are several causes that can cause low back pain (LBP), including: \n1. Back or spine injury \n2. Spinal arthritis \n3. Herniated disc \n4. Obesity \n5. Age over 30 years \n6. Lifestyle \n7. Work (usually occurs in workers who sit for longer periods of time) \n\n \n\n Symptom \n\n Apart from the causes that often occur in sufferers of low back pain (LBP), there are several symptoms that are commonly felt, including: \n1. Stiffness in the waist or back \n2. Pain or soreness that feels sharp \n3. Burning pain, felt radiating from the lower back to the back of the thigh; in some cases, felt radiating to the lower leg or foot \n4. Numbness or tingling \n5. Difficulty standing up straight, walking, or changing positions from sitting to standing \n\n Apart from that, the symptoms of lower back pain also differ according to the level of severity, namely: \n\n \n Acute low back pain usually comes on suddenly and lasts for several days or weeks. This condition is considered the body's normal response to injury or tissue damage. The pain gradually subsides as the body heals. \n Subacute low back pain generally lasts between 6 weeks and 3 months and is usually mechanical (such as muscle tension or joint pain) but prolonged. At this point, a medical examination may be considered and is recommended if the pain is severe and interferes with activities. \n Chronic lower back pain: lasting more than 3 months, this type of pain is commonly severe, does not respond to initial treatment, and requires a thorough medical examination to determine the exact source of the pain. \n \n\n \n\n Treatment \n\n Low back pain will improve with bed rest, medication, installing braces (lumbar corsets), and physiotherapy; only around 1–2% require surgery. \nSurgery will be carried out, especially in conditions of herniation (HNP) or a decrease in the motor and sensory functions of the lower limbs. \nWhen it comes to lower back pain, physiotherapy is a treatment that is often recommended for all ages. The aim is to maintain, improve, and restore function and dependency if individuals experience impaired movement and function abilities or problems caused by physical damage. \nIn conditions of lower back pain, the role of physiotherapy is to reduce pain, increase the elasticity of the back muscles, and restore functional activities using the available modalities. \n\n Often, someone who has experienced lower back pain will experience it again later in life. This occurs due to weakness of the back and abdominal muscles after lower back pain. \nWeakness of the lower back muscles is what triggers pain later in the day. \nExercise therapy involves certain movements designed to retrain the strength of the back and abdominal muscles so that their elasticity returns. Movements or exercises are adjusted to the factors causing low back pain; inappropriate movements can worsen the sufferer's complaints and condition. \nConsult your complaints about lower back pain with a neurologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Watch out for fuss. Know the causes and treatment of diaper rash in babies<\/a><\/h3>
Do parents, especially those with babies, know what diaper rash is? Surely parents are already familiar with this term because so many babies experience this complaint. However, if parents are still unfamiliar with this word, it would be best to read the full explanation so that they can know the treatment needed when diaper rash or this topic occurs in your baby. \n\n Diaper rash is irritation or inflammation that occurs in the folds, sides of the skin, thighs and buttocks due to diapers that are rarely changed or are damp due to exposure to the baby's urine and feces that collect in the diaper, causing your baby to experience a rash, which can be seen with the appearance of redness on the baby's skin. Please note that most babies who use diapers will have experienced these complaints. \n\n Even though diaper rash is relatively harmless, the occurrence of diaper rash can cause the baby to become fussy and if left untreated, a doctor will need treatment. So what causes diaper rash? \n\n \n Irritation caused by the baby's urine and feces, this condition causes the diaper to become damp which can cause the child's skin to develop reddish spots and irritation. \n Allergic reactions are because not all diapers will suit our baby's skin, because baby skin tends to be more sensitive than adults. \n Friction due to using diapers also has an effect, usually because the size of the diaper used does not suit the condition of the baby's body so the diaper is too tight. \n Bacterial or fungal infections, usually this condition occurs because diapers are used for too long and are damp, making it easier for fungi and bacteria to grow. \n \n\n You need to know that diaper rash will get worse if you don't get proper treatment. This condition is certainly not something parents want to happen to their beloved baby. Because diaper rash or diaper rash can cause a number of complications that can be detrimental to your baby, such as: \n\n \n These fungal and bacterial infections can become increasingly severe so that it will be difficult for them to respond to the treatment given. ● Diaper rash that is not treated properly and occurs continuously in your baby will develop and become more severe, such as red, swollen and blistered skin. \n Changes in skin color can be seen, such as skin color becoming lighter than the surrounding skin, this is caused by inflammation that occurs in the skin. \n \n\n In increasingly severe conditions, the skin color will take quite a long time, up to months to years, to return to normal. But don't worry, of course there are ways you can treat rashes on baby diapers so that they don't cause complications that will harm the baby itself or other people. old. The following is the correct way to treat babies who experience diaper rash: \n\n \n Always make sure the fertilizer used is appropriate to the baby's body size so that it is not too tight or loose \n Try to change diapers as often as possible to avoid a buildup of urine or feces \n Before changing diapers, make sure the skin is clean and dry so it is not damp \n Apply anti-fungal ointments and creams regularly to treat rashes that have occurred \n \n\n If all treatment has been carried out and there is no improvement, it is highly recommended to see a doctor so that you can immediately get the right treatment and your child will avoid the risk of more serious complications.

The Importance of Pregnant Women's Nutritional Intake in Preparing for Breast Milk MP-ASI Rich in animal protein prevents stunting<\/a><\/h3>
A pregnant woman must have good nutritional status and consume food that is diverse in proportion and amount. Pregnant women must consume more food because they have to meet nutritional needs for themselves and for the growth and development of their fetus/baby.\nIn this regard, pregnant women must have good nutritional status and consume food that is diverse in proportion and quantity. The reality is that in Indonesia there are still many mothers who during pregnancy have poor nutritional status, for example being thin and suffering from anemia. This can be caused by her food intake during pregnancy being insufficient for her own and her baby's needs. Apart from that, this condition can be made worse by the workload of pregnant women, which is usually the same or heavier than before pregnancy. As a result, babies do not get the nutrients they need, which disrupts their growth and development.\nHealth and nutrition programs to prevent stunting are implemented long before a woman becomes pregnant. It is best to pay attention to it from the start of life, especially from pregnancy to the first two years of a child's life (the first 1000 days). This period is considered critical because the growth and development of the child's brain and body is very fast. Good nutritional factors during pregnancy and early in a child's life have a big impact in preventing stunting and supporting children's optimal development. Therefore, attention to nutrition and health should start from pregnancy until the child reaches the age of two years. \n\n Pregnant women who are malnourished are at risk of giving birth to babies with low birth weight. For this reason, pregnant women need to understand and adopt a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition so that the mother's nutritional status is maintained and the fetus remains healthy.\nAccording to several nutritionists, prospective mothers should prepare a balanced nutritional intake long before pregnancy.\nEvery day, women need to adopt a healthy diet. As a result, you will have balanced nutritional needs during pregnancy and childbirth. It has sufficient nutritional reserves\nEven though in terms of composition the need for protein is the least, don't let this nutrient go unnoticed.\nFor pregnant women, the protein element needed is around 60 grams every day. This means an increase of 10 grams more than the requirement before pregnancy, which was 50 grams per day.\nThere are many functions of this protein, including;\n• As a source of Calories\n• As a substance that builds or forms and repairs body tissues in the fetus such as muscles, bones, eyes, skin, heart and liver\n• Plays a role in blood formation\n• Helps the formation of blood, amniotic fluid and fetal cells so that they are perfect\n• Useful in the growth of tissue and placenta and even brain\n• Forms antibodies for women and fetuses\n• Maintain healthy bones of women and fetuses \n\n Prospective mothers who lack protein intake are at risk of causing smaller babies, babies experiencing problems such as cleft lips or other physical abnormalities, one of which is the cause of stunting (children growing short).\nIn fact, a lack of protein has an effect on the imperfect formation of breast milk later in lactation. Various sources of protein There are many sources of protein that can be obtained. For example, animal protein sources can be obtained from beef, chicken, fish, egg whites, cheese, milk and so on.\nSo that protein needs are met without excessively increasing fat intake, a mother should process this protein source by boiling, steaming, dipping, or occasionally sautéing. Avoid the frying process with a lot of oil (deep frying).\nMilk as a source of animal protein can help increase pregnant women's need for nutrients because apart from containing protein it also contains other substances such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, and vitamins B1 and B2.\nConsume at least two glasses of milk per day to complete the nutritional needs of pregnant women. The protein content in milk can provide energy for pregnant women to maintain good activities throughout their pregnancy.\n \nAnimal protein is considered effective in preventing children from experiencing stunting. Animal food has complete nutritional content, rich in animal protein and vitamins which really support growth and development.\nAnimal protein intake in pregnant women is very important in preventing stunting in the fetus they are carrying. Impaired fetal growth in the womb is one of the main causes of stunting in children, one of which is due to the nutritional component \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Myth or Fact, Fasting can Increase Fertility?<\/a><\/h3>
Fasting, a spiritual and health practice embraced by various groups of people, has come under the spotlight for claims related to improving fertility. But what is the truth behind these claims? Can fasting really affect fertility or is it just a myth that is not supported by strong scientific evidence? Let's explore further. \n\n The Fasting Increases Fertility Myth: \n\n Some people believe that fasting has a positive impact on fertility, referring to the claim that ridding the body of toxins during fasting can improve sperm and egg quality. While this belief has a basis in popular belief, it is important to remember that the lack of solid scientific evidence makes this claim likely to be a myth. \n\n Scientific Facts About Fasting and Fertility: \n\n Scientific research shows that intermittent fasting or certain fasts can have a positive impact on the body's overall health. A study published in the journal "Fertility and Sterility" suggested that intermittent fasting may improve insulin sensitivity, potentially affecting fertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, further research is still needed to confirm these findings. \n\n Male Reproductive Health: \n\n Equally important is attention to male reproductive health. Avoiding excessive body temperature, managing stress, and maintaining good sleep patterns can help improve sperm quality. \n\n Addressing Myths and Facts: \n\n It is important for people to understand the difference between myths and facts regarding fasting and fertility. Before deciding to undertake fasting to improve fertility, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for more individualized guidance. \n\n Conclusion: \n\n In summarizing the myths or facts surrounding fasting and fertility, the claims still require the support of stronger scientific evidence. While there are potential indications of a link between certain fasts and reproductive health, it is important to treat fasting as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. Consult a healthcare professional before making any decisions regarding fasting for better fertility. Find the appropriate balance to support your fertility journey. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
