Cancer June 16th, 2010
Women lifestyle is unhealthy triggers cancer. Not surprisingly, the number of cancer patients from the weaker sex quickly menajak / Corbis
Women were more vulnerable to cancer. Therefore, the air should begin to implement a healthy lifestyle with healthy food consumption as well.
We have cancer is one cause of death in the world. World Health Organization (WHO) states, in the year 2015, an estimated 9 million people who died of cancer in 2030 and there are an estimated 11.4 million cancer deaths.
The number of deaths from cancer is greater than the total number of deaths due to TB, HIV, and malaria. Therefore, cancer can happen to any and all parts of the body and all the people although more at the age above 40 years.
WHO reveals an increase in the number of cancer patients every year to reach 6.25 million people and two-thirds come from developing countries including Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are currently estimated new cancer 1: 1000 population per year.
According to data from the Ministry of Health (MOH), cancer is the leading cause of death in Indonesia and 5 increased significantly. Ironically, in developing countries, 80-90 percent usually can not be cured because the patient came in who had advanced stages.
Indeed, until now there has been no accurate data on cancer in Indonesia. However, it is known from the summary of Pathology Center for Indonesia, from 10 types of cancer most common in Indonesia, cervical cancer (cervical) and breast cancer occupies the highest numbers. This fact proves class women are most at risk for cancer than men.
Chairman II Indonesia Cancer Foundation (YKI) Dr. MHA said Melissa Luwia not be known for sure why women are more susceptible to cancer. “From the statistical data are expressed like that. It is not known exactly why women are the most suffering from cancer than men, “he said.
Unhealthy lifestyles, smoking, and eating fatty foods, Melissa says, is the factor most trigger cancer. Nowadays the women tend to do things that harm health. Not surprisingly, the number of cancer patients from the rapidly rising air.
“It’s not all of the lifestyle. However, cancer usually adopt a lifestyle that is not good. For example cervical cancer because she had sex with many people. Breast cancer due to fatty foods. Lung cancer from smoking, “he said.
Melisa said, due to the high cancer rates in women, the early detection of cancer has become so important to suppress the death rate. The low awareness of reproductive health that finally brought women at risk of death. Not to mention the added position of women as “second person” in her family increasingly powerless to control health.
One of the cancer prevention efforts that can be done is by Smer Pap tests, to determine at an early stage of cervical cancer which until now still at the top causes of death among women in Indonesia.
Apart from Smer Pap tests regularly, cervical cancer prevention in women, among them implement healthy lifestyle, balancing food, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid smoking or having contact with a man who was smoking, and maintaining a good sexual behavior. “As soon checked myself when encounter unusual disorder,” he said.
Known, cervical cancer can develop when abnormal cells in the cervix (the area connecting the uterus and vagina) began divide uncontrollably. Cervical cancer is caused 99 percent of human papilloma virus (HPV). In addition to always change of partners, several other factors that make a history of HPV infection is a young married at age less than 20 years, often suffer from sexually transmitted infections, smoking and mothers who gave birth to many children.
Meanwhile, the exact causes of breast cancer until now unknown. However, there are things or habits that have been known to increase one’s risk of breast cancer. Among women 35-49 years age group, have a history of breast cancer in close relatives and have a history of benign breast disease / tumors.
In addition, first menstruation at an early age, menopause late in life also potentially affected by this disease. This is because the body longer hormone exposure. Not married, not breastfeeding, infertility, their first child over 35 years, radiation, excessive alcohol consumption, high-fat diet, obesity, a long-term hormone therapy, also increases the risk of breast cancer.
To detect this cancer early, including easy. Women are encouraged to perform breast self-examination (Sana) regularly every month, several days after menstruation stops. Known, about one in ten women developed breast cancer potential. Meanwhile, in the case of male breast cancer is much less about 1 percent. During the year 2005, recorded 502,000 people died from breast cancer. High mortality is due to low coverage of early detection due to lack of public knowledge about breast cancer itself.
In addition to two types of cancer above, women are also vulnerable to lung cancer. It was caused by cigarettes. In fact, despite smoking less than men, women were more susceptible to the effects of lung damage due to substances that are carcinogens in a cigarette.
Conclusions are made based on research conducted on 700 patients of lung cancer recently. The researchers found, although the quantity of women smoke less than men, they tend to age was younger when diagnosed with lung cancer. Another study conducted by experts at Harvard University, United States and the University of Bergen in Norway for 950 men and women who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diseases caused by cigarettes, found similar results.
Known, COPD patients are generally older women younger when they were diagnosed as having the disease, and they smoke less than men. “Women are more vulnerable to the effects of lung damage from smoking,” said Dr. Inga-Cecilie Soerheim, guest researcher at Harvard University who presented her research results in the annual meeting of the American Society’s Thoraric.
In conclusion, one of the cancer prevention efforts is to improve the quality of life and it can be started from home. Because of that true, it is necessary strived how knowledge about cancer was known in every household.

Little Habit Overcome Peee
Health Tips June 9th, 2010
OVERCOMING wetting habits in children is not easy. Cooperation is needed between parents, children, and doctors. In addition, the necessary wisdom, patience, and understanding parents.
So many complaints from parents who worry about with their child’s bedwetting habits. Moreover, children still wet after passing the age of 6-7 years. Certainly would be a big question for parents.
Just what is mengom pol? And why it happened and how to train them to stop bedwetting?
Bedwetting is a medical term enuresis, the urine out unconsciously in his sleep at the age that should have been able to control the desire to urinate. Sometimes the definition of incontinence is also used to describe children who failed to control expenses in the urine when they are awake.
In fact, the teenagers and parents incontinence are also common. But for children, bedwetting is often a very embarrassing thing. As for parents, this can be a frustrating experience.
More than 50 million children worldwide aged 5-15 years were still wet. One in four children still wet when they were 3.5 years of age. Meanwhile, at the age of five years, one in five children still wet the bed and at the age of six years of falling into one of 10 children. Usually enuresis will stop when the child reaches the age of puberty. The boy who wet the bed more than girls.
“This is a hidden problem of childhood because people tend to not talk about it outside the house, so most kids think they are the only one with problems,” said pediatrician from Washington DC, United States and author of “Waking Up Dry” Dr. Howard Bennett.
Bennett mentioned the type of incontinence is divided in two. The primary wetting wetting wetting as a baby and the secondary re-wetting after the child never wet the bed again for a minimum of six months. The primary cause of incontinence due to the delay in the maturation process of the nervous system in children, in which the brain’s inability to capture the signal sent bladder, hormonal disorders, anatomical defects.
For example a small bladder and a very deep sleep so that the child did not wake when the bladder is full. While the causes of secondary bedwetting can be due to urinary tract infection, metabolic disorders (diabetes early age), spinal cord disorders, excessive pressure on the bladder, mainly due to interruption expenses, so the accumulation of dirt dirt colon will suppress bladder.
In fact, state of stress can also trigger secondary bedwetting. It was formerly regarded as bedwetting habits psychological problems. But, now known that biological factors play a role bigger. Can be ascertained also, it is declining in the family.
More than 75 percent of children who have parents with bedwetting problems, also will have the same problem.
“The story about these genetic problems to the child will make her better,” advises Bennett.
Bedwetting can also be a symptom of a serious illness such as diabetes or urinary tract infection, especially when there is a child who had never wet the bed. Bedwetting is not a child’s mistakes. Unfortunately, some parents still think that the wet comes from a lack of discipline, and can be cured by punishment.
This, Bennett bright, very far from the truth. Research shows that as many as 25 percent of parents punish a child or to show a significant disagreement when children wet the bed because they thought the child was a mistake.
What to do if the child’s parents is act naturally wet, do not show resentment, anger, or even panic.
Discuss good with the kids. There are many cases where children stop wetting after talk of caution. Give support to children, this is the most important actions.
Never embarrass a child or other children to compare with, even if the child had not wet my pants and give him gifts of praise about his success in front of many people, so he’s more motivated.
Ask your child to change the bed linens and clothes at night, when the child is already able to do it. Or put a rubber mat covered with a cloth on the bed, so that children can dibasahinya cover sheets. Then, install an alarm clock that will ring 2-3 hours after the child was asleep, so he can wake up to go to the bathroom.
In addition, make sure your child to urinate before going to bed. Encourage your child to follow instructions from a physician, such as relaxation exercises or practice bladder hold urine or discharge behavior modification exercises. If necessary, buy an alarm antimengompol suitable for children aged five years and over.
This alarm has a moisture sensor is worn directly on the underwear. In the first drops, a buzzer buzzing, wake the child. Gradually the child learns to wake up when they feel the urge to urinate.
Which should also be noted by parents is, incontinence can be cured himself. A child pengompol requires patience, passion, patience, and confidence of parents that the problem is only temporary. Usually between 7-12 years of age often cure, and few children who continue to experience it through adolescence.
One thing interesting, breastfeeding (breast milk) can prevent ongoing incontinence in children. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics states that babies are not breastfed are more likely to wet than breast-fed babies.
Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Jersey, United States states other than the rich in important nutrients for infant growth, milk also contains fatty acids that can improve and accelerate the growth of the brain, while wetting themselves due to inhibition of brain nerve growth (delayed neurodevelopment ).
From the results of studies conducted on 55 children aged 5-13 years who were still wetting the bed and their 117 never wet, showing the percentage of children who wet the formula-fed about 81 percent, while those who routinely get only 45 percent milk.
However, the most remarkable in this study were either infants who consumed formula or breast milk instead experienced similar results with infants who received only formula milk without milk. In addition to preventing incontinence, breast milk is also known to work to reduce the risk of diarrhea, respiratory infections, ear infections and other infections that occur in infants.
