Interventional Pain Management, Ways to Overcome Pain for Those Who Don't Like Taking Medication<\/a><\/h3>
Pain management is complex, personal, and different for each patient depending on the health condition they have. People who experience pain will try to reduce the pain they suffer, because pain will affect a person's quality of life. And currently, interventional pain management (IPM) is available which can support more optimal pain management and treatment for various pain cases. \n\n \nWhat is Interventional Pain Management? \nInterventional Pain Management is an action performed on someone who is experiencing pain with a minimally invasive approach. This action is carried out with the help of tools to treat acute and chronic pain in the long term or permanently. This pain intervention aims to reduce, eliminate, or prevent pain in someone. \n\n There are 3 techniques that can be used to implement IPM. The choice of technique depends on the type of pain, health condition, and the severity of the patient's pain, namely: \n1. Inject medication at the location causing the pain \nInjections can be in the form of steroids which are useful for completely reducing inflammation at the origin of the pain. Apart from steroids, regenerative medicine (Platelet Rich Plasma & Prolotherapy) can also be given, namely medicine that repairs tissue structure, for example muscles & tendons that are damaged and become a source of pain. Medication administration must be carried out using ultrasound & C-Arm guidance so that it is precisely at the source of the pain. \n\n 2. Nerve Block \nNerve blocks disrupt nerve signals to the brain that help relieve pain. Nerve blocks are performed using ultrasound & C-Arm guidance towards the nerve where the pain originates, so it can reduce pain for several weeks or months. In some cases, it can even be a permanent block, depending on the technique & medication used. \n\n 3. Radiofrequency Ablation/Neuromodulation \nRadiofrequency waves are used to deactivate/calm the nerve tissue that transmits pain signals, so that the pain signals emitted from the origin of the pain are reduced. These radiofrequency waves are produced by a special device & delivered through a needle which is directed towards the nerve where the pain originates using ultrasound & C-Arm guidance. \n\n Pain Conditions that Require IPM \nInterventional Pain Management as a further pain management option can be considered in patients with the following conditions: \n1. Experiencing acute, chronic pain & cancer, especially if medical treatment (painkillers) is unsuccessful in reducing the existing pain. \n2. The patient has been using painkillers for a long time, as a result there are side effects from using the medication, for example stomach and kidney problems. \n3. Not being able to take pain medication due to allergies, kidney problems, digestive disorders, etc. \n4. Have had surgery, but still experience pain. \n5. Want to avoid surgery whenever possible. \n\n \nSo, Hermina's friends, for Hermina's friends who often experience pain and don't like taking medication, getting pain intervention can be an option for treatment, because pain intervention without taking medication can be done at the source of the pain. Don't forget to always consult a doctor for pain cases to obtain proper diagnosis and medical treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Frequent Cramps in Muscles, Is it Dangerous?<\/a><\/h3>
Have you ever had that unpleasant feeling when your muscles suddenly contract violently and uncontrollably? If so, you are most likely experiencing muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are a common condition and can be experienced by anyone, children, adolescents, and adults. While muscle cramps are usually harmless, they can cause significant discomfort. Let's talk more about muscle cramps, including their causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention. \n\n What are Muscle Cramps? \n\n Muscle cramps, also known as muscle spasms, occur when our muscles suddenly contract forcefully and uncontrollably. This condition often occurs in the muscles of the legs, calves, thighs, forelegs, hands, and feet. Muscle cramps can be brief, only a few seconds, or last longer, up to several minutes. Although generally harmless, muscle cramps can cause pain and make you uncomfortable in your activities. \n\n Causes of Muscle Cramps \n\n Various factors can cause muscle cramps. Some common causes include: \n\n \n Dehydration, Lack of fluid intake, or losing a lot of fluids through sweat during physical activity or in hot weather conditions can cause muscle cramps. \n Deficiency of Electrolytes Electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium are important for normal muscle function. A deficiency in any of these electrolytes can cause muscle cramps. \n Lack of Blood Flow, Impaired blood circulation, especially in the feet and legs, can cause these muscles to become more prone to cramps. \n Excessive Physical Activity, Exercising or excessive physical activity, especially if the muscles are not sufficiently trained or preheated, can cause muscle cramps. \n Medical Conditions, Several medical conditions, such as kidney disease, diabetes, and nerve disorders, can increase the risk of muscle cramps. \n Lack of Stretching, If you often spend a lot of time in a sitting or standing position, without regularly stretching your muscles, you are more prone to experiencing muscle cramps. \n \n\n Symptoms of Muscle Cramps \n\n Symptoms of muscle cramps are usually pretty obvious, and some of them include: \n\n \n Sharp pain, Muscle cramps are usually accompanied by a sharp and intense pain in the area of the muscle being contracted. \n A feeling of hardness and pulling When a muscle cramps, you may feel the sensation of a hard and pulling muscle by itself. \n Seeing or feeling a lump, Some people report that the muscle that is experiencing cramps looks or feels like a lump is sticking out. \n Inability to use muscles, In severe cases, muscle cramps can lead to the inability to use the affected muscles. \n Recurrent cramps, Some people may experience repeated muscle cramps, especially if the underlying cause has not been addressed \n \n\n Treatment of Muscle Cramps \n\n If you have muscle cramps, there are some simple steps you can take to relieve them: \n\n \n Stretching: Do gentle stretches on the cramped muscles. Stretching can help loosen tight muscles. \n Warm Up and Cool Down: Be sure to warm up before engaging in physical activity and cool down afterward. This helps prevent muscle injuries and cramps. \n Warm or Cold Compress: Apply warm or cold compresses to the area experiencing cramps. This can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. \n Fluid and Electrolyte Intake: Make sure you are consuming enough fluids and electrolytes, especially if you are physically active in hot weather. \n Rest: Give adequate rest to the cramped muscle. Avoid strenuous activities that involve these muscles until complete recovery. \n \n\n Muscle cramps are a common condition that can affect anyone. While generally harmless, muscle cramps can cause discomfort and interfere with daily activities. It is important to know the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of muscle cramps to better manage this condition. If you experience repeated or severe muscle cramps, consult your doctor immediately to get further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Watch out!! Get to know Polio<\/a><\/h3>
Polio is a very dangerous disease because it can cause paralysis and disability for life. The cause of this disease is due to a viral infection that attacks the nervous system. \n\n \n\n The symptoms experienced are paralysis. \n\n What is paralysis? Withdrawal paralysis is all paralysis that occurs suddenly and is sudden weakness and weakness in the whole body in children under the age of 15 years. \n\n \n\n The mode of transmission of polio is through water or food contaminated with feces containing the polio virus. This virus can be transmitted from person to person through the Fecal-Oral. It enters through the oral or nasal cavities, then spreads in the body through the bloodstream. \n\n Apart from not getting the polio vaccine, several of these conditions also increase the risk of contracting polio \n\n - living in poor sanitation areas \n\n - limited access to clean water \n\n - working as a health worker treating polio patients \n\n - traveling to areas that have experienced polio outbreaks \n\n \n\n This virus usually attacks children under the age of 5 and has not received polio immunization. Another symptom that can be found is interference with the respiratory nerves causing difficulty breathing. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of polio can be divided into two types \n\n : 1. Paralytic \n\n polio This type of polio does not cause paralysis. Appears 6-20 days after being exposed to the virus and is mild \n\n . The symptoms experienced include \n\n - fever \n\n - headache \n\n - weakness \n\n - sore throat \n\n - weak muscles \n\n - vomiting \n\n 2. Paralytic \n\n polio This type of polio causes permanent spinal cord and brain paralysis. This condition is the most dangerous type of polio. \n\n Within 1 week, symptoms that can appear include loss of body reflexes, painful muscle tension, and weak legs and arms. \n\n \n\n Immunization is an effective prevention of polio. Prevention of transmission to others through direct contact (droplets) by using masks for those who are sick and healthy. In addition to preventing environmental pollution (fecal-oral) and controlling infection by applying defecation in the toilet and draining it into a septic tank. \n\n \n\n Immediately check with your doctor if your liver experiences similar symptoms. Because polio can cause paralysis even some time after infection \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Arm Cramps Causes and Kram adalah sensasi tidak nyaman pada area otot yang mengalami kontraksi (pengerutan), dapat muncul secara tiba-tiba, dan menimbulkan rasa nyeri. Biasanya kram dapat berlangsung selama beberapa detik, menit, atau jam, tergantung berapa lama otot berkontraksi. Penyebab Tangan Kram Penyebab tangan kram bisa dari berbagai hal. Yang sering menjadi penyebab terjadinya kram, sebagai berikut: • Dehidrasi Dehidrasi dapat memicu kram otot. Saat tubuh kekurangan cairan, sel-sel, tubuh tidak dapat berkoordinasi dengan baik sehingga menyebabkan gangguan elektrolit yang mengatur kontraksi otot. Oleh karena itu, kontraksi otot menjadi tidak sinkron dan menyebabkan kram otot. • Sirkulasi Tubuh Tidak Lancar Kondisi ini ternjadi saat suplai darah yang tidak memadai. Akibatnya terjadi penyempitan pembuluh darah yang membuat tekanan otot yang menegang sehingga menimbulkan rasa nyeri. • Asupan Nutrisi yang Rendah Asupan nutrisi yang rendah di karenakan kurangnya asupan magnesium dan kalium pada tubuh. 1. Magnesium adalah salah satu jenis mineral yang penting bagi tubuh. Mineral ini berperan pada lebih dari 300 proses biologis yang terjadfi pada tubuh, termasuk pada sistem pencernaan, komunikasi antar sel saraf, dan gerakan otot. Magnesium dapat ditemukan pada alpukat, tahu, pisang, kacang-kacang. 2. Kalium adalah salah satu elektrolit dalam tubuh yang berperan penting dalam pengaturan cairan tubuh, sinyal listrik pada saraf dan kontraksi otot. Sehingga kekurangan kalium dapat menimbulkan kram pada otot. Kalium banyak ditemukan pada pisang, apel, kentang, ubi, ikan, susu dan olahannya. • Kondisi Medis Tertentu Ada kondisi-kondisi medis tertentu yang dapat menjadi pemicu kram pada tangan, yaitu: 1. CTS (Carpal tunnel syndrome) adalah kondisi yang menyebabkan jari tangan mengalami sensai kesemutan, nyeri atau mati rasa. 2. RA (Rheumatoid arthritis) atau radang sendi merupakan penyakit autoimun yang mengakibatkan peradangan pada sendi. Biasanya kondisi ini ditandai dengan rasa kram pada tangan, kaki, lutut, dan bagian tubuh lainnya. 3. Stiff hand syndrome atau sindrom tangan kaku adalah komplikasi diabetes yang di tandai dengan kondisi penebalan tangan dan bertekstur seperti lilin sehingga tangan sulit digerakkan. • Efek Samping Obat-obatan Beberapa obat dilaporkan memiliki efek samping kram otot, diantaranya pil kontrasepsi, obat kolestrol (statin), obat asma, obat diuretik, obat antipsikotik, dan kortikosteroid. • Cedera Otot Otot dapat mengalami cedera apabila kita menggunakan otot secara berlebihan. Hal ini dapat diperberat apabila kita kurang melakukan pemanasan/peregangan tangan sebelum aktifitas yang berat dalam waktu yang lama. Cara Mengatasi Tangan Kram Beberapa cara yang dapat kita lakukan untuk mengatasi tangan kram, sebagai berikut: • Istirahatkan tangan apabila merasakan kram hingga rasa kram mereda • Pijat pada bagian tangan yang kram untuk melemaskan otot • Perbanyak minum air putih, sesuai dengan kebutuhan tubuh minimal 8 gelas sehari • Konsumsi makanan kaya magnesium dan kalium • Gunakan obat pereda nyeri atau rasa sakit jika rasa kram tidak mereda. Sahabat Hermina, kondisi kram pada tangan memang tidak menyenangkan dan dapat membuat sulit beraktivitas. Jika tangan sering keram, Sahabat Hermina dapat melakukan cara-cara yang telah disebutkan di atas untuk mengatasinya. Namun, jika tidak kunjung reda, segeralah cari bantuan ahli agar dapat segera diatasi. Salam sehat.Treatment<\/a><\/h3>
