Which is more Dangerous, Kidney Stones or Gallstones<\/a><\/h3>
Kidney stones and gallstones are two health problems that are often a source of intense pain and discomfort for affected individuals. Both conditions involve the formation of stones that can obstruct the flow of fluids in certain organs and trigger unpleasant symptoms. While both have the potential to cause serious health problems, each has different characteristics and impacts. In this article, we will compare gallstones and kidney stones in terms of various factors, including causes, symptoms, and severity. \n\n Gallstones : \n\n Gallstones are solid stones that form in the gallbladder, a small organ that stores and excretes them when they are produced by the liver. Here are some important points regarding gallstones: \n\n Reason : \n\n Gallstones form when substances such as cholesterol or pigments settle and crystallize in the gallbladder. Risk factors for gallstones include the 4Fs, namely female, forty, fat, and fertile. \n\n Symptom : \n\n Symptoms of gallstones can include acute pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, which may radiate to the back or right shoulder. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. \n\n Treatment: \n\n Treatment for gallstones may include diet changes, the use of medications to control symptoms, or surgical removal of the gallbladder in some cases. \n\n Kidney stones : \n\n Kidney stones, also known as nephrolithiasis, are solid stones that form in the kidneys, organs that play an important role in filtering the blood and eliminating body waste. Here are some important points about kidney stones: \n\n Reason : \n\n Kidney stones are usually caused by mineral crystals that accumulate in the kidneys. The causes can vary, including genetic factors, diet, dehydration, and metabolic disorders. \n\n Symptom : \n\n Symptoms of kidney stones often involve severe pain in the lower back area or lower abdomen, accompanied by pain when urinating, bloody urine, and nausea. \n\n Treatment: \n\n Treatment for kidney stones depends on the size and type of stone. Some stones may pass on their own, while others require medical procedures such as extracorporal lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, or surgery. \n\n So which is more dangerous? \n\n Gallstones and kidney stones are quite serious conditions because they both have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. Both of these conditions can become dangerous if not treated. Gallstones can cause severe pain and serious discomfort, as well as complications such as acute inflammation of the gallbladder or infection. Kidney stones have the potential to cause very severe pain and can damage the kidneys. Kidney stones that are large or that block urine flow can be dangerous and require immediate medical attention. \n\n It is important to remember that both conditions require medical treatment. If you experience suspicious symptoms or problems with kidney stones or gallstones, consult your doctor immediately for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. \n\n \n\n Made by: Dr. Khaula Latifah Ramdhani Sahidah \n\n Reviewed by: Dr. Nova Oktoria Putri Saragih, Sp.B., FINACS \n\n Reference: \n\n National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

13 Factors that Cause Cataracts in the Eyes and How to Reduce the Risk<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's best friend must have often heard about cataracts, right? What actually causes cataracts, and is there a way to prevent them? \n\n Cataracts are a disease that often occurs in the eye, especially in older people. This condition occurs when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred or blurry vision. \n\n It can even affect one or both eyes. If not treated immediately, it is not impossible that these cataracts can cause blindness. So, to find out more about this disease, please follow this review to the end. \n\n \n\n Causes of Cataracts in the Eyes \n\n As explained above, cataracts are a condition in which the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy or opaque. This cloudy lens in the eye blocks light from entering the eye and interferes with vision. There are many factors that cause cataracts, including : \n\n 1. Age \n\n Age is the main factor that causes cataracts, which usually occur in those over the age of 60. The older a person is, the more likely they are to have cataracts. This is because the lens of the eye has aged and becomes less elastic with age. \n\n 2. Radiation \n\n Exposure to radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. For example, it occurs in patients undergoing radiation therapy to the head or neck. In addition, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight can also damage the lens of the eye and increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 3. Alcohol consumption \n\n People who consume excessive alcohol have a higher risk of developing cataracts. This may be due to the toxic effect of alcohol on the lens of the eye. \n\n 4. Cigarette consumption \n\n Smokers have a higher risk of developing cataracts. Exposure to cigarette smoke and the chemicals in it can damage the lens and eye cells. This is what causes cataracts. \n\n 5. Disease \n\n Several diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and thyroid disorders, can increase the risk of cataracts. Especially diabetics, they have a higher risk of developing cataracts. This is related to high blood sugar levels, which can damage the eye lens and accelerate aging in that part. \n\n In addition, the use of certain drugs, such as corticosteroids used to treat certain diseases such as asthma or arthritis, can also increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 6. Obesity \n\n Obesity and being overweight can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. This condition can interfere with metabolism and health in general, including eye health. \n\n 7. Other eye disorders \n\n Other eye disorders, such as myopia or hyperopia, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. This is probably because the disorder affects the use of the lens in the eye. \n\n 8. Family history \n\n Some types of cataracts can be caused by genetic factors. Such as congenital cataracts, which occur in newborns or when cataracts develop at an early age. \n\n In addition, if there is a family history of cataracts, a person's risk of experiencing the same condition increases. Similar genetic and environmental factors can influence cataract risk. \n\n 9. Eating habit \n\n Deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C and E, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Consumption of healthy foods rich in nutrients can help maintain eye health. \n\n 10. Use of steroids \n\n Long-term use of steroids can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Steroids can cause changes in the lens structure of the eye. \n\n 11.Eye trauma \n\n Injury to the eye can lead to cataracts, especially if the trauma affects the lens of the eye. Eye injuries can occur as a result of accidents, acts of violence, or extreme sports activities. Not only that, repeated trauma to the eye can also increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 12. Infection \n\n Infection of the eye, such as conjunctivitis or uveitis, is also a cause of cataracts. This infection can cause inflammation of the eye lens and cause damage. \n\n 13.Environmental exposure \n\n Exposure to environmental pollution, such as motor vehicle exhaust, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Pollutants in the air can damage the eye's lens and cause cataracts. \n\n \n\n Signs and symptoms of cataracts \n\n The emergence of a disease must start with several symptoms, as well as cataracts. Some of the symptoms of cataracts that often occur, for example, include : \n\n - Blurred vision \n\n - Difficulty seeing in dim light \n\n - It looks like seeing through a blur \n\n - Hermina's best friend's vision in one eye \n\n - Changes in color perception \n\n - Blurred vision \n\n When these symptoms appear, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist can perform an eye exam and determine whether cataracts are affecting vision and how serious the condition is. \n\n \n\n How to Reduce the Risk of Cataracts \n\n Treating cataracts can be done through surgery. This is a relatively simple procedure and only uses local anesthetic. This procedure involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one. \n\n Apart from surgery, lifestyle changes can also help reduce the risk of cataracts. Some ways to reduce your risk of cataracts include: \n\n \n \n Avoid excessive sun exposure \n \n \n Get rid of smoking habits \n \n \n Eat healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits \n \n \n Wear sunglasses when outdoors during the day \n \n \n Control underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and others \n \n \n\n \n\n In essence, cataracts are a common disease of the eye, especially in older people. Therefore, it is important to detect and treat cataracts as soon as possible to prevent blindness. \n\n If Hermina's friends experience cataract symptoms, immediately consult the complaints of Hermina's friends with an ophthalmologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Hermina's friends can also consult with our doctor online through Halo Hermina. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it simple to get sick? Beware of signs of weak immunity<\/a><\/h3>
To Hermina's friend, signs of weak immunity are important to know. The reason is that people who have a weak immune system may be more susceptible to infections with severe symptoms. \n\n "Immune" is a shield for the body against viruses, bacteria, free radicals, and other harmful compounds to stay active and healthy. It was not created without a reason. Quoted from Medical News Today, immunity is produced through white blood cells, antibodies, and other components, including lymph nodes, as a form of the immune system. \n\n However, overworked immunity can cause a person to have allergies, asthma, or eczema. Instead of protecting the body, a compromised immune system can potentially attack good compounds and other healthy organs. These conditions are known as autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. \n\n Signs of Weak Immunity \n\n The following are signs of a weak immune system to look out for: \n\n \n Icy hands \n \n\n If the blood vessels are inflamed, it's harder for your fingers and toes, ears, and nose to stay warm at normal body temperature. In fact, these body parts can turn white and then blue due to abnormal blood flow. \n\n \n Urinary Problems \n \n\n Diarrhea or constipation (constipation) appears due to the buildup of bacteria and viruses so that the immune system forces the intestines to work abnormally. If this problem lasts more than 2-4 weeks, you should be alert because it is a warning sign that the immune system is damaging the lining of the small intestine or interfering with the performance of the digestive tract. \n\n \n Dry Eyes \n \n\n Autoimmune sufferers usually have accompanying symptoms, such as dry eyes. This condition usually causes an uncomfortable feeling, like sand or other particles getting into the eye. Then, the eyes will be irritated, accompanied by pain, redness, and fibrous fluid. If left unchecked, the quality of the eye decreases and the vision becomes blurry. \n\n \n Fatigue \n \n\n Fatigue after exercising or undergoing strenuous activities is normal. However, feeling excessively tired for no reason could mean something is going on with your immune system. As a result, other problems arise, such as poor sleep, joint and muscle pain, and flu. \n\n \n Rash \n \n\n Itchy, dry, and red skin is a common symptom of inflammation in the body due to a weakened immune system. In some cases, people with lupus often develop a butterfly-shaped rash on their nose and cheeks. \n\n \n Hair Loss \n \n\n Healthy and strong hair is everyone's dream, especially women's. However, poor immunity can interfere with hair follicle growth and hair loss. This condition is called alopecia areata. \n\n \n Constant tingling \n \n\n Everyone has experienced tingling or numbness in their feet or hands. Generally, the wrong sitting or sleeping position makes the nerves depressed and blood flow irregular, causing a tingling sensation to flow in certain body parts. \n\n \n Weight Loss \n \n\n The number of body scales that go down may be good news for people who are on a diet. However, drastic changes in body weight for no reason are definitely one of the symptoms of thyroid gland damage that causes autoimmune diseases. \n\n \n\n Hermina's friend, remember, the signs of a weak immune system above are not the exact cause of the disorder of a disease. Check the condition of the body if you experience certain signs that are quite significant and often repeated so that your doctor can diagnose and recommend the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
