DEFINITION
Fibroadenoma is a solid lump that is small and benign breast consists of glandular tissue and fibrous. These lumps are usually found in young women, often found in adolescent girls.

CAUSE
The cause is unknown.

SYMPTOMS
Lump easily moved, the limit is clear and can be felt at the BSE (Breast Self-Examination). It is palpable rubbery because it contains collagen (strong protein fiber found in cartilage, tendons and skin).

BSE (Breast Self-Examination)
1. Standing in front of the mirror, look at the breast. Under normal circumstances, the size of the left and right breast is slightly different. Note the change of size differences between left and right breast and nipple changes (for example, are interested in) or discharge from the nipple. Note whether the wrinkled skin on the nipple.

​2. Still standing in front of a mirror, placed both hands behind his head and his hands pulled back. With this position it will be easier to find small changes due to cancer. Notice the change in shape and contour of the breast, especially on the bottom of the breast.

Cause of Anemia in Babies

admin | March 10, 2011 | No comments

DEFINITION
Anemia is a disease characterized by too few red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood.

CAUSE
Anemia in the newborn may result from:
* Loss of blood
* Destruction of red blood cells are excessively
* Disorders of red blood cell formation.

The loss of large amounts of blood during the birth process can occur if the placenta is detached from the uterine wall prematurely (placental abruption) or if there is a tear in the umbilical cord. Infants looked very pale, low blood pressure and shortness of breath.

Anemia in premature infants is usually caused by blood loss (due to repeated blood tests for laboratory tests) and a reduced red blood cell formation. Under normal circumstances, the bone marrow did not form new red blood cells for 3-4 weeks after birth. Anemia will worsen as the baby’s growth rate is faster than the rate of formation of new red blood cells. But premature babies usually do not show symptoms of anemia and this situation will disappear by itself within 1-2 months.

Destruction of red blood cells occurs in:

* Hemolytic disease in newborns: a large number of red blood cells are destroyed by antibodies produced by the mother during the fetus in the womb
* Babies with deformities of the red blood cells, such as spherocytosis (spherical red blood cells)
* Abnormalities of hemoglobin (oxygen carrying protein in red blood cells), such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia
* Infection during the baby in the womb (eg toxoplasmosis, German measles, cytomegalovirus disease, herpes simplex or syphilis). If blood cells are destroyed, hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin. High levels of bilirubin in the blood​ (hyperbilirubinemia) causes jaundice (jaundice) and in severe cases, can cause brain damage (kern icterus).

Anemia due to iron deficiency can occur in infants aged 3-6 months if given cow’s milk or infant formula is not fortified with iron.

TREATMENT
If blood loss occurs during the birth process, immediately given a blood transfusion. If the cause is the destruction of red blood cells is excessive, replace transfusion, where the baby’s blood is replaced with fresh blood. Red blood cells are damaged, bilirubin and antibodies from the mother’s body dumped. In iron deficiency anemia are given extra iron. If symptoms of severe anemia, a blood transfusion.

How to Overcome Premature Menopause

admin | February 22, 2011 | No comments

DEFINITION
Early menopause is a condition in which ovarian function (ovarian) and stops menstruating before age 40 years.

CAUSE
In early menopause, estrogen levels are low but the levels of pituitary hormones that stimulate the ovaries (especially FSH) high in an effort to stimulate the ovaries.

Early menopause can be caused by:
* Congenital abnormalities (usually chromosomal abnormalities)
* Autoimmune diseases (the body produces antibodies that attack the ovaries)
* The appointment of the ovary.
Smoking can cause premature menopause that occurred several months earlier.

SYMPTOMS
Besides no longer having periods, patients also experience other symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and emotionally unstable.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on symptoms and physical examination. If the suspected cause is an autoimmune disease, you can carry out blood tests to look for the presence of antibodies.
​
In patients aged under 30 years are usually performed chromosome analysis. If the Y chromosome is found, then you can perform surgery to remove any testicular tissue from the abdomen because this network has a cancer risk by 25%. Chromosome analysis is not necessary in women aged over 35 years.

TREATMENT
Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) can prevent or treat symptoms of menopause. Patients with early menopause have less than 10% chance to get pregnant again. These opportunities can be increased to 50% if the patient contains eggs from another woman. Once fertilized, the egg from a donor was then implanted in the uterus of the patient.

Before the fertilized implanted in the uterus of patients, patients get the therapy of estrogen and progesterone that occurs and menstruation artificial womb lining re-active and ready to undergo pregnancy.
