<p><strong>1. Introduction</strong></p>
<p>     Efforts to improve the quality of Human Resources should be done early, systematic and sustainable. Optimization of Children grow and develop early on is a top priority, so that we can prevent or find out distractions and early development of the child disorders.</p>
<p>     Some scientific reports both at home or abroad indicate that the incidence of allergies continue to rise sharply Last post a few years. It seems that allergies are dominated case the patient&#8217;s visit in an outpatient clinic Child Health Service.</p>
<p>     Allergies in children is not as simple as we once knew. Previously we often hear from a specialist in internal medicine, pediatricians, other specialists that the symptoms are allergic cough, runny nose, stuffy and itchy. And allergies can affect all organs without exception start from head to toe with a variety of dangers and complications that might occur. Last post was revealed that allergies can interfere with brain function, so it is disturbing the child&#8217;s development later revealed that the allergic complications caused quite dangerous, because allergies can interfere with any organ or body system including brain function disorders. Because the brain dysfunction that arises interference the development and behavior disorders in children such as concentration, emotional disturbances, delays in speaking, disturbance of concentration to autism.</p>
<p>    Autism and other spectrum disorders symptoms child&#8217;s behavior is the most attention and the case there is a tendency to increase in recent times. Autism is believed some researchers as an anatomical abnormalities in the brain is genetically. There are several things that can trigger autism, including the influence of food or food allergies.</p>
<p>     Risks and signs of allergy can be identified since the child was born  since even sometimes been detectable. Allergies can be prevented early on and is expected to optimize child growth and development optimally.</p>
<p><strong>2. PROCESS EVENT OF ALLERGIC interfere CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM STRUCTURE<br />
</strong><br />
Pathophysiology and pathogenesis (disease process) allergies interfere with central nervous system especially the brain functions are still not uncovered. But there are several possible mechanisms that could explain, among others:</p>
<p><strong>ALLERGIC disturbing TARGET ORGAN</strong></p>
<p>Allergy is an inflammatory process that is not only a fast and slow reactions, but also a chronic inflammatory process is complex, influenced by genetic factors, environmental and internal controls. Various mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and molecules such as IgE, mediators of cytokines, chemokines is a component of the role of inflammation.</p>
<p>Clinical symptoms occur because the reaction imunologik through the release of several mediators that may interfere with certain organs called target organs. Target organs such as the lungs are the clinical manifestations of cough or bronchial asthma, when the target will be visible as the skin hives, when the target organ of the digestive tract symptoms are diarrhea and so on. Composition of the Central Nervous System or the brain can also be a target organ, especially the brain is an organ that is sensitive and weak. Central nervous system is a central coordination body and noble function. So you can imagine if the brain is disrupted many resulting clinical manifestations may include behavioral disorders in children. Moreover, the common allergic chronic inflammatory process of the complex.</p>
<p><strong>THEORY AND BRAIN abdominal enteric Nervous System<br />
</strong><br />
In allergy can cause both intestinal lining damage due pencernan or dysfunction of the immune system itself. While indigestion itself appears to affect the central nervous system including brain function.</p>
<p>The theory of digestive disorders associated with central nervous system is currently the main concern of the clinician. Neuropatologis research and reported imunoneurofisiologis lot. This theory also explains about one of the mechanisms of behavioral disorders such as autism through the intestinal known Hypermeability or Leaky Gut Syndrome. Golan and Strauss in 1986 reported the existence of abdominal epilepsy, which is a digestive disorder that can cause epilepsy.</p>
<p><strong>Linkages hormonal WITH ALLERGIES</strong></p>
<p>The linkage of hormones with allergic events were reported by many studies. Hormonal changes Sedangatan itself certainly can lead to its own clinical manifestations.</p>
<p>JS Lynch in 2001 suggested that the hormonal effects also occur in people with allergic rhinitis in pregnancy. While Landstra et al in 2001 reported changes were significantly decreased hormone cortisol in bronchial asthma during the night.</p>
<p>Significant discoveries reported Kretszh and konitzky 1998, that the hormone affect allergy as some clinical manifestations of endometriosis and premenstrual syndrome. Several other reports indicate an allergic association with hormonal changes such as are cortisol, metabolic, progesterone and adrenaline.</p>
<p>In allergic patients obtained reduction in hormone cortisol, estrogen, and metabolic. Decrease hormone cortisol can cause allergy fatigue stresse, while the decrease in metabolic hormone changes can cause significant weight. Another Hormona money is hormone estrogen decrease.</p>
<p>Allergies are also associated with increased adrenaline and progesterone hormones. Increased adrenaline clinical manifestations caused mood swings, and anxiety. While hormone progesterone cause skin disorders, Pre menstrual syndrome, Fatigue and loss of hair.</p>
<p><strong>3. ALLERGIES, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM FORMATION AND DISORDERS-DEVELOPMENT   BEHAVIOR </strong></p>
<p>Central nervous system is the most vulnerable and sensitive than other organs. The brain is the central coordination of all body systems and functions of the sublime. Meanwhile, due to allergies to various organs that can interfere with central nervous system and dysfunction of the immune system itself seems to cause many clinical manifestations that can interfere with the development and behavior of a child.</p>
<p>            There are 2 different things between allergic disorders and relationship disorders central nervous system. Difference depends on the presence or absence of organic brain disorder. If there is organic brain disorders such as autism or any other brain-focus on the process is only aggravate allergies or trigger symptoms. If there is no anatomical abnormalities of the brain is most likely an allergic process is closely associated with these disorders. Usually when there is no brain organ abnormalities or other disease is allergic effects on the brain is usually a good prognosis and the symptoms are not severe.</p>
<p>But when acquired autism or other brain organic disorders the worse the prognosis. However, if the interference is exacerbated by the treatment of allergic triggers allergies to diabetes management can reduce the symptoms.</p>
<p>Allergic Disease Impact on Brain Function, observed by G. Kay, Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychology at Georgetown University School of Medicine Washington. The impact of allergic disease on brain function manifest as decreased quality of life, decrease in good working atmosphere, and decrease the efficiency of cognitive function. Patients with allergic rhinitis reported decreased quality of life similar to that experienced by patients with asthma or other serious chronic diseases. Allergic diseases is not only disrupt the social and work function but also interfere with leisure activities.</p>
<p>Several empirical studies show the effect of allergy to mood and cognitive function. Marshall and Colon in 1989 proved that the group of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis has a function of verbal learning and mood worse than the group of patients without an allergy attack. In two studies conducted by Vuurman, et al demonstrated that the ability of homework on students&#8217; allergy sufferer worse than the ability of other students by age and IQ are appropriate but do not have the talent allergic (non-atopic).</p>
<p>       Several other researchers showed a connection between allergic diseases with personality disorders such as shyness and aggressiveness. On personality tests can be seen that patients allergic to prioritize action is more physical, more difficult to adjust themselves in the social environment, and have defensive mechanisms that are less good. The number of allergy attacks reported by patients was associated with increased anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, and difficulty adjusting to the social environment.</p>
<p>        Allergic disorders associated with central nervous system can cause several clinical manifestations, among neuroanatomi and can interfere with functional neuroanatomi.</p>
<p><strong>A. INTERFERENCE NEUROANATOMI</strong></p>
<p>Allergy to various mechanisms associated with disorders of the body can cause neuroanatomi some clinical manifestations such as headaches, migraines, vertigo, loss of memory for a moment (forget). Some studies show that, for example, in 1992 said Krotzky migraines, vertigo and headache can be caused by food allergies or any other chemical.</p>
<p>        Strel&#8217;bitskaia in 1974 suggests that the interference with asthma found in the brain electrical activity, even though it was not able to do with the reported clinical manifestations.</p>
<p><strong>B. DISORDERS FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY Neuro (DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOR DISORDERS)<br />
</strong><br />
Allergic reactions with various clinical manifestations to the central nervous system can interfere with functional neuroanatomi, would interfere with further development.</p>
<p>What is meant by developmental disorder is a disorder that includes psychomotor function of mental function and motor function. Our limbs or organs of our skeleton can also be affected by developmental disorders.</p>
<p><strong>Motor EXCESSIVE INTERFERENCE</strong></p>
<p>In the newborn characterized by leg movements and hand over, babies do not want to look covered or dibedong. If worn often asked to move down or frequently. At the age of 4 to 6 months have been trying to roads, whereas the ability to walk normally at age 12 months. Sometimes stamped into the back of the head-hit knock heads. At the age of bigger is not going quietly appeared, moving aimlessly on purpose. Accompanied by loss dropped the habit is hard to bed (smack down).</p>
<p><strong>COORDINATION AND BALANCE DISORDERS<br />
</strong><br />
Coordination disorders that can be observed is usually the child does not follow or through a normal developmental phase in accordance with age. The pattern of disturbed motor development is usually alternating body, sitting, crawling, standing or walking. Some children sometimes do not follow the pattern, for example, children do not have to sit or crawl, but immediately walked or stood before a new bias to sit. Also children do not follow the normal pattern of age-appropriate motor development, such as new bias new alternating above age 5 months or 11 months of age sitting.</p>
<p>At age or older on 1 year, marked by aftifitas walk like a hurry or quickly that the ability to walk too late. When you walk often fall, or hit a nearby object. Another habit is that when walking on tiptoe, or when sitting cross-legged position back legs like the letter W.</p>
<p><strong>SLEEP DISORDERS<br />
</strong><br />
Lots of sleep disturbance causes, allergies in children seem to be one of the most frequent cause. Tirosh in 1993 in his study mentioned that in asthma and allergy sufferers are often accompanied by sleep disturbance in the form of frequent waking sleep, shorter sleep time and other sleep disorders.</p>
<p>Allergy sleep disturbance can occur in infancy. In our research shows that babies who are at risk and have allergy symptoms since birth is often the first 3 months of having trouble sleeping, especially at night. Usually the baby is often awake until midnight, especially the morning, sometimes accompanied by frequent fussing and crying in the night heavy hari. If complaint is usually accompanied with colic (crying hysterically unknown reason). At the age of bigger is usually marked by the initial hours of sleep a night, sleep is often restless (his position back and forth), sometimes in a state of sleep often delirious, crying and screaming. Position of sleep often move from one end to the other end of the bed. Middle of the night often waking sleep until morning, suddenly sat down and then sleep again, often prone sleeping position.</p>
<p>At school age children, adolescents and adults is usually characterized by bad dreams at night. The most common nightmare is a dream experienced such horrible visited people who have died or met the scary animals like snakes.</p>
<p>Judarwanto W in 2002 suggests that the observations on 245 children with digestive disorders due to allergies, get 80% of children experience sleep disturbance at night. After treatment of allergy diet, showed that 90% of patients have improvement of sleep disorders.</p>
<p><strong>CONCENTRATION DISORDERS</strong></p>
<p>Children impaired concentration, often tire of a job or activity unless they watch television. Children seem not sit long in a chair. In the class can not calm a lesson, often talking, annoying friends, etc., when a hearing can not hear or follow in a long time. Prominent though seem not to notice when communicating, but the child can respond with good communication and quick.</p>
<p><strong>DELAY OR INTERRUPTION TALK TALK</strong></p>
<p>One of the manifestations of allergies in children are late to talk. The delay in talking when accompanied by a dominant allergic manifestations in children should be further evaluated whether there are linkages between these 2. Some studies indicate a dominant hemisphere disorder. These deviations usually refers to the left brain. Some children are also found irregularities right hemisphere, the corpus hearing kalosum and related trajectories. Suspected allergic manifestations take the role aggravate existing problems such.</p>
<p>Talk on allergic disorders are usually improved rapidly after the age of 2 years. This could perhaps explain the indigestion will link to a disturbing allergy brain function. Indigestion where to allergy sufferers will get better at the age of 2 years as well.</p>
<p>The possibility of language difficulties should thought when a child reaches late stages of language units suitable for her age. Language unit may be voice, words, and sentences. Further language functions are governed by the rules of grammar, which is how sounds form words, words form sentences correctly and so on.</p>
<p>Talk delay occurs in 3-15% of children, and is a development disorder that most often occurs. As many as 1% of children experiencing delays still can not talk talk. Thirty percent of children who have mild delays will heal itself, but 70% of them will have difficulty speaking, less intelligent, or other learning difficulties. Usually mild complaint is directly related to allergic disorders</p>
<p>Allergic manifestations that arise repeatedly and continuously for more than 2 weeks, can affect the disruption to talk on a particular baby under 1 year. Ability to speak to the evaluation since birth. The ability to speak has to be considered carefully by observing carefully disappeared or decreased sounds in the mouth (babbling). Some common words pronounced as ba, da, ma, or pa suddenly disappeared at a certain age. Allergic manifestations improved after the management of the diets was the ability to improve again. This shows clearly that the delay was influenced by talking to an allergic disorder.</p>
<p>Another talk interference can happen is dyslexia, echolalia (mimicking every word of others) and stuttering (stammering).</p>
<p><strong>AGGRESSIVE</strong></p>
<p>Sign aggressive in infants could be observed in the habit of biting and excessive licking. In young infants seen from the habit of entering all the babies even hand to mouth insert foot. At the age of more than 6 months have seemed excessive biting activity is marked by a bite on the hand, shoulder or mouth of someone who wears. While excessive licking habits characterized by licking activity on all items held, on the sheet and the surface of the table.</p>
<p>            Another tendency is the age of 6 months beginning often hit front, the head of another person or the head itself. Another habit is his own hair or someone else&#8217;s hair. If the larger age not only hit with the hand but also the habit of hitting with a stick on the body nearby. At the age of 1 year in addition to hitting coupled with scratching and pinching habits of others. Sometimes, too, looked habit throw toys or objects that hold excess.</p>
<p><strong>EMOTIONAL DISORDERS</strong></p>
<p>Emotional disorders common in allergic children. In infants it appears that the baby was screaming so loud that, if asked to drink often impatient. In older children seem easily upset, easily shouted, when angry often hysterical, throwing objects held to temper tantrums, often hitting the head or hit my head.</p>
<p><strong>HIPERKINESIA</strong></p>
<p>Hiperkinesia interference happens is overactive, it is difficult to control his body to be quiet, children are always moving and looking ill at ease, difficult concentration, to ADHD. Although ADHD is the possibility of suspected organic disorders of the brain.</p>
<p><strong>AUTISM AND ALLERGIES</strong></p>
<p>Autisma is pervasive developmental disorder in children characterized by the disruption and delays in cognitive, language, behavior, communication and social interaction.</p>
<p>Autism until now still not clear why. But research has biomolekular can identify DNA patterns of people with Autism, that is probably already have the talent of this genetic abnormality. But several studies showed the complaint Autism influenced and exacerbated by many things, one because of allergic manifestations. Renzoni A et al in 1995 reported autism is closely related to allergies. Ménage P in 1992 suggests that the obtained relation with patient IgE Autism.</p>
<p>This can also be proved in several studies showing improvement of symptoms of autism in children who suffer from allergies, after handling elimnasi allergy diet. Some other reports say that autism symptoms get worse when it comes allergic manifestations.</p>
<p><strong>4. ALLERGIC RELATIONS WITH OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN<br />
</strong><br />
Storfer et al in 2001 in his study of 2720 child patients with asthma and other allergies, there is a tendency intelegensianya higher capacity compared with other children.</p>
<p>Hazzel in 2000, adding a good intellectual than is usually the child has allergies and asthma outstanding initiative and creativity skills are good. Another tendency is 2 times greater occurrence of Myopia in children with multiple allergic asthma, hubuhngan though it can be linked directly.</p>
<p><strong>5. Management</strong></p>
<p>Handling allergies in children must be done correctly, complete and continuous. Continuous drug delivery is not the best way of handling allergic, but the ideal is to avoid the causes that can cause allergies such complaints.</p>
<p>Special handling allergy in children with developmental disorders and other behavioral disorders should involve several disciplines, because it must be ensured that no organic abnormalities, other systemic or psychological. So if necessary in consultation on child neurology, child psychiatrists, pediatricians interest growth, endocrinology child and the child gastroenterologist.</p>
<p>      But if the opinion of several experts in conflict and other allergic manifestations in children is clear, then there is no harm in us doing the management of food allergy with an open elimination. Such treatment should be evaluated in 2 or 3 weeks using a diary. If development and behavioral disorders such improvement then there can be certain that such interference is the cause or triggers allergies.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, to overcome the symptoms of developmental disorders and behavioral existing therapy approaches can be done with occupational therapy, speech therapy, sensory integration therapy, hearing or vision therapy and so on.</p>
<p><strong>6. CAUSE ALLERGIES OTHER THAN EATING</strong></p>
<p>            There are also some foods that can interfere with the brain but not the immunological reaction but because the food or raksi intersection of food intolerance include the salicylates, tartarzine (food dyes), nitrates, amines, MSG (monosodium glutamate), antioxidants, yeast, lactose, benzoate,</p>
<p>Salicylates; found in fruits, Saur, peanuts, the, coffee, beer, wine and drugs such as aspirherbs, spices, spreads, Teas &#038; Coffee, juices, beer and wines and medications such as aspirin. High Konsestrasi found in dried fruits such as sultanas.</p>
<p>Amines; produced during fermentation and protein breakdown is found in cheese, chocolate, wine, beer, tempeh, vegetables and fruits such as bananas, avocados and tomatoes.</p>
<p>Benzoates; found in some fruits, vegetables, nuts, wine, coffee and so on.</p>
<p>Monososodium glutamate (MSG); often found in food flavorings: MSG, soy sauce, or other foods</p>
<p>Lactose: often found in cow&#8217;s milk</p>
<p>Glutamate; many found in tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, sauce, meat and mushroom extracts.</p>
<p><strong>7. Prognosis</strong></p>
<p>The prognosis for the development and behavioral disturbances associated with allergic depends on the presence or absence of organic brain disorders such as autism or a focus on the brain. If confirmed there is no anatomical abnormalities of the brain then the prognosis would be better. Usually if the interference is controlled it will look drastically perbaikkan developmental disorder and behavior. In this type of disturbance on the age of 2 to 5 years there is a tendency to improve.</p>
<p>            But when acquired autism or other brain organic disorders the worse the prognosis. However, if the interference is exacerbated by the treatment of allergy triggers allergy with diabetes management would be very much help.</p>
<p><strong>8. CLOSING</strong></p>
<p>Allergy problems in children seem not as simple as is well known. Frequent recurrence of the disease, so the extent of the affected body system and the danger of complications that occur seem to be due to more attention for the formation of plants and flowers optimal child.</p>
<p>Allergic disorders with a variety of allegations turned out to be menggganggu mechanism neuroanatomis and mengkibatkan functional neuroanatomis development and behavior disorders in children.</p>
<p>Risks and allergy symptoms can be identified and detected in the womb and at birth, thus preventing allergy symptoms can be done as early as possible. The risk of complications and disorders central nervous system is expected to be reduced.</p>
<p>Special handling allergy in children with developmental disorders and other behavioral disorders should involve several disciplines, because it must be ensured that no organic abnormalities, other systemic or psychological. If you need consultation on child neurology, child psychiatrists, pediatricians interest growth, endocrinology child and the child gastroenterologist. If the opinion of several experts is contradictory and anatomical disorders of the brain is not clear, could have done with the management of food allergy elimination diet changes open evaluation or improvement of behavioral disturbances that arise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actually you need not worry if your period was late. Menstrual cycle (period) which is considered a regular 28 days, but can not be denied that this cycle can vary for each person, but of course there is the normal range, ie 24 to 35 days. If the information you mentioned, it means that your menstrual cycle usually run 30 to 31 days, it is still good because it is still within the normal range.</p>
<p>Variations advent of menstruation in women, which we mentioned earlier, occurred because of differences in the levels of the hormone estrogen (sex hormone) produced by each woman&#8217;s body. Therefore menstrual cycle is due to the influence of estrogen hormones work, so if the production of the hormones estrogen or less, then the menstrual cycle could be longer. Likewise with the other hand, if the production of this hormone excess, then the cycle is getting faster.</p>
<p>Psychological condition of the body and plays an important role in the production of the hormones estrogen and labor, and their effect on go faster or slow the menstrual cycle can vary for each individual. Therefore, do not be surprised if a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle can vary.<br />
Well, now, think carefully, whether you lately too tired, if there is a complex problem or the job is not right? As we mentioned above, the physical and mental fatigue can affect the menstrual cycle.</p>
<p>You need to calm yourself, because it could be nothing really serious with this delay your period, your period may be late just more than usual this once.<br />
You also should not be late in taking medication, do not get used to overcome all the things that are not &#8220;wrong&#8221; in our bodies with drugs.<br />
If you are late coming months, and the drug as the only way out that you know, you should only drink it if that is what is recommended doctors &#8230; please do not be hasty &#8230;</p>
<p>Healthy lifestyles, both ends meet the need of rest for body and mind, reduce fatigue which can invite a sense of stress, and multiply eating foods containing vitamin E (such as bean sprouts) can help balance the body systems, and also help smooth the menstrual cycle for women.<br />
Never make direct estrogen hormone therapy, because over time can cause cancer (such as the breast). Solve one problem with bringing a new problem that just is not true.</p>
<p>If it turns out your menstrual cycle too often late like this, then we recommend that you consult your doctor and ask for thorough examination of your uterus organs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Signs and symptoms of early pregnancy: Things you may experience before beginning prenatal care </strong><br />
By Mayo Clinic staff</p>
<p>Are you pregnant? Real evidence can be seen in pregnancy tests. But you can expect &#8211; or hope &#8211; that you are pregnant, even before you menstruate late, if you experience one or <strong>more signs and symptoms of pregnancy</strong>. Here are the signs that can be seen in the first weeks after you become pregnant.</p>
<p><strong>Breasts or nipples are sore, swollen<br />
One of the physical changes experienced during pregnancy is a change in the breast.</strong> Your breasts will feel heavy, sore or painful when held. Or it can also feel more full and more severe. In the first two weeks after the pregnancy begins, your breasts begin to grow and change as</p>
<p>preparation for producing milk. The main cause of this change is the increased production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Changes in your breasts will be seen more clearly when you are pregnant for the first time.</p>
<p><strong>Fatigue</strong><br />
Many women who feel drained during pregnancy, especially in the early days. This may be a natural way to persuade expectant mothers to take more time to sleep, in preparation for the nights where he could not sleep in the days to come. But There is also a physical reason for this fatigue.<br />
In the first weeks of pregnancy, your body works very hard &#8211; pumping hormones and producing more blood to carry nutrients to your fetus. To accommodate this increased blood flow, your heart pumps harder and faster. In addition, the hormone progesterone which is a natural depressant of the central nervous system, so the amount of this hormone in the many causes you to feel sleepy. As tambahahan, the possibility of pregnancy can cause feelings of worry that can absorb your energy and cause sleepless nights.<br />
Fleck of blood or abdominal pain<br />
Some have spots or a little bleeding during early pregnancy, around 10 or 14 days after conception. Known as bleeding due to implantation, which occurs when cells that have been fertilized egg attach itself to the uterine wall. Such bleeding usually occurs earlier, fewer and lighter color than the usual blood came out at the time of menstruation, and the only briefly.</p>
<p>There is also experiencing abdominal pain or cramping early in pregnancy when the uterus begins to enlarge. The pain was just like pain during menstruation.</p>
<p><strong>Nausea with or without vomiting</strong><br />
Morning sickness is the classic signs of early pregnancy. Most of nausea began to feel around the fourth to eighth week of pregnancy, but vomiting may begin on the first two weeks after the pregnancy.</p>
<p>Although nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is commonly known by the name of morning sickness &#8211; vomiting in the early days, but in fact can occur at any time. Apparently this occurs because the drastic increase in estrogen levels produced by the placenta and fetus. This hormone causes the emptying of the intestines move more slowly, which could be causing this problem. Pregnant women are also known to be more sensitive to smell, so various kinds of smells &#8211; like the smell of cooking, coffee, perfume or the smell of cigarette ASAP &#8211; can trigger nausea.</p>
<p><strong>Do not like or want to eat a certain food</strong><br />
Turn your nose from a particular food is <strong>usually the first signs that you are pregnant.</strong> Even the smell of certain foods can cause nausea in early pregnancy. One study says that pregnant women usually do not like the smell of coffee in the early weeks of pregnancy. Meat, dairy products containing sharp and spicy food is the object that usually most unpopular at the time of pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>One specific food cravings are also common</strong>. Like <strong>other symptoms of pregnancy</strong>, the desire to eat certain foods can be caused by hormonal changes. Pregnant women usually experience changes in appetite, especially in the first half, as a result of hormonal changes is still very strong.</p>
<p><strong>Frequent urination</strong><br />
Many pregnant women who feel that they become more frequent trips to the toilet than usual. In the first trimester of pregnancy, this is because the enlarged uterus pressing toward your bladder.</p>
<p><strong>Headache</strong><br />
If you are pregnant, you may interfere with your frequent mild headaches. In early pregnancy, headaches may be caused by increased blood circulation caused by hormonal changes.</p>
<p><strong>Constipation</strong><br />
Constipation or difficult bowel movements is one early<strong> indicator of pregnancy</strong>. Increasing the amount of progesterone hormone cause slow digestion, so food can enter more slowly into the digestive tract, which can lead to constipation.</p>
<p><strong>Mood changes</strong><br />
You are not the kind of woman who is sensitive &#8211; so why could cry to see Hallmark commercials? The flood of hormones in your body in early pregnancy can cause you tremendous emotional and weepy. Changes in mood, from happy to sad, too common, especially in the first trimester.</p>
<p><strong>Feeling dizzy and floating</strong><br />
Feeling dizzy and floating <strong>common in pregnant women</strong>. This sensation is usually the result of changes in the circulation when blood vessels in your body dilate and your blood pressure decreases. In early pregnancy, dizziness can also be caused by low blood sugar.</p>
<p><strong>Basal body temperature increases</strong><br />
Your BBT is the temperature taken orally when you first wake up in the morning. This temperature will be slightly increased after ovulation and stay at that level until you get the next menstruation. If you frequently record your BBT to determine when you ovulate, you will see that the increase during the two weeks leibh means you are experiencing pregnancy. In fact, basal body temperature will remain high during your pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>Are you really pregnant?</strong><br />
Unfortunately the signs and symptoms early on not only dedicated to indicate a pregnancy. There are some that indicate that you are sick or your menstrual period will soon begin. And, conversely, you could be pregnant without experiencing symptoms as above.</p>
<p>However, it would be nice if you see one of the signs are there on the list above, immediately do a home <strong>pregnancy test</strong>, especially if you do not record your menstrual cycle or if your cycles are always shifting away from one month to the next. Also do not forget to keep yourself well. Who knows you really are bodied two.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been four months of birth, Anggi <strong>never menstruate</strong>. He had thought that the delay was due to menstruation she is still breastfeeding her child. Fearing something happens, Anggi went to the doctor. Anggi surprise, when doctors said he suffered from <strong>endometrial hyperplasia</strong> or thickening of the uterine wall which was completely unrelated to nursing.</p>
<p><strong>How to watch the symptoms!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia is usually begins with menstrual cycle is irregular, sometimes even menstruation did not come in a long time.</strong> Menstruation can also occur constantly and lots of blood volume. In addition, <strong>endometrial hyperplasia patients often find blood stains in underwear</strong>. If allowed to drag on will appear headache disorders, easily tired, and was not excited at the move. The most severe impact, but difficult to get pregnant, the endometrial hyperplasia patients had severe anemia. Husband-wife relationship was disrupted because the bleeding would not stop.</p>
<p>Thickening of the uterine lining can occur because of increased levels of the hormone estrogen. The increase was triggered by the growth of estrogen cyst. In other cases, thickening of the uterine wall also occur due to hormonal imbalance, when the increase in the hormone estrogen was offset by an increase in progesterone.</p>
<p>This condition is also typically experienced by a woman who was fat because of excessive estrogen production. <strong>Endometrial hyperplasia </strong>anyone can experience, both women who have given birth or not.</p>
<p><strong>What actions the doctor?</strong></p>
<p>The occurrence of thickening of the uterine lining can usually only known by a doctor after an ultrasound examination (USG). However, to ensure that necessary kuratase.</p>
<p>Results kuratase uterus will be sent to the anatomical pathology to diagnose.</p>
<p><strong>Based on medical studies, thickening of the uterine wall is divided into 3 categories:</strong><br />
1. Simplek. Patients with this condition do not have to worry too much because of relatively mild hyperplasia simplek and will end with a malignancy, so people can still get pregnant.<br />
2. Cystic. Like simplek, this case was harmless.<br />
3. Atypical. This one condition must be wary of. Atypical tends to be the forerunners of cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment that can be implemented is:</strong><br />
1. Kuratase actions other than for diagnosis as well as therapy to stop the bleeding.<br />
2. Hormone therapy to balance hormone levels in the body. But keep in mind the possible side effects that can occur, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and others. The average after hormonal therapy approximately 3-4 months, thickening of the uterine wall disruption can be overcome.<br />
3. If he lived hormonal treatment also produced no improvement, therapy will be continued with other drugs. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hormones are substances released into the bloodstream from a gland in the endocrine system which affects the activity of body cells that control organ functions as a whole (to control growth and development, sexual characteristics, affect the body in the use and storage of energy and controlling the volume of liquid, water and salt levels in the blood). Hormones in very small amounts can trigger the body&#8217;s response is very broad. Hormones serve as messengers to coordinate the activities of various organs of the body. Hormones circulating through the bloodstream and body to communicate with the entire body to regulate and maintain homeostasis (balance / stability) in the body via a feedback system that varies from internal biochemical balance of the body to deal with change</p>
<p>Decreased hormone levels in men and women with age. Lack of testosterone can result in the occurrence of erectile dysfunction. <strong>Premenstrual syndrome (PMS),</strong> menstrual cycle irregularities, Peri-menopause syndrome, etc. due to hormonal imbalance. When headaches during menstruation, may be a sign that hormones are not balanced anymore and hormones send the signal to the glands to try to overcome this (Excerpted from: maca, adaptogens &#038; Hormonal Regulator, Beth M. Ley, Ph.D).</p>
<p>Hormone imbalance can be caused by internal factors (hormonal cycle, genetic disorders, the growth of tumors in the gland, age, etc.) and external (outside the entrance of hormones from the body, either intentionally, for example: the consumption of tablets / creams / injections of hormones, whether or not intentionally, for example: dietary deficiency, pesticide contamination, the modern animal husbandry products, plastic products, carpets, drug use steroid groups, the condition of stress, unhealthy lifestyle and so forth.<br />
Hormonal imbalance will result in the emergence of a variety of health problems such as: menopause, testosterone deficiency in men, erectile dysfunction, lack fertility in men and women, thyroid gland disorders / mumps, hiperandrogen, including a number of problems around menstruation, and so forth.</p>
<p>SOME PROBLEMS RESULTING IN MENSTRUAL Imbalance HORMONE<br />
Menstruation (period) / period / coming months is the bleeding that occurs repeatedly every month (except during pregnancy), occurs in the uterus of a woman because of the decay process of the uterine lining (endometrium). The menstrual cycle is a complex form of balance between body, mind and emotions. Regulated by hormones and the moon &#8211; your menstruation cycle can be a source of overall health (helping you to balance your body and emotions and act as a compass for your life) or the source of major discomfort and pain when the hormones that regulate menstrual function that in unequal conditions.</p>
<p>A number of menstrual disorders caused by hormonal imbalance include: premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), irregular menstrual cycles, the volume (too much / little) and the duration (too long / short) abnormal bleeding and other forth.</p>
<p>Premenstrual syndrome ( PMS)<br />
PMS is the physical symptoms, psychological (emotional) and behavior that often occurs in a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle, ie 7 &#8211; 14 days before menstruation and will be lost as they start menstruating. PMS generally occurs in women age 14 &#8211; 50 years with various symptoms and changes in each woman from month to month. At least 85% of menstruating women experience at least 1 of PMS symptoms (American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist). There were identified 180 common symptoms of PMS which includes physical and psychological symptoms, but the most frequently reported are:</p>
<p><strong>Physical symptoms</strong></p>
<p>Psychic Symptoms and Behavior</p>
<p>    * Headaches / Migraine<br />
    * Breast pain / swollen / hard<br />
    * Tired / tired / lethargic (Fatigue)<br />
    * Disturbed sleep (Insomnia)<br />
    * Stomach cramps / bloating<br />
    * Diarrhea / constipation<br />
    * Headache<br />
    * Joint or muscle weakness / weak<br />
    * Backache<br />
    * Incurred acne<br />
    * Cramping of the bladder<br />
    * Swelling of legs and knees<br />
    * Limbs leg / knee to swell<br />
    * Weight loss rises<br />
    * Change of appetite, increased appetite (especially for sweet foods, salty) or decrease<br />

    * Crying a sudden<br />
    * Changes libido<br />
    * Concentration and memory decline<br />
    * Anxiety, depression, aggressive</p>
<p><strong>Causes of PMS</strong><br />
The exact cause of this syndrome&#8217;s appearance is unclear, but hormonal factors in women who viewed the body most responsible for the occurrence of PMS. PMS is the result of defective ovulation process caused hormone imbalance. There are several theories about the cause of PMS, including:</p>
<p>    * Hormonal factors, namely the imbalance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone.<br />
    * Estrogen Dominant (excessive estrogen hormone) that apart from internal factors also could because xenoestrogen &#8211; estrogen that comes out of the body such as the modern farm products, pesticides, plastics, carpets, etc. (Dr. John R. Lee, MD).<br />
    * Another theory states that based on the research, the response due to the way PMS estrogen and progesterone (hormones of menstruation) interact with brain chemicals (serotonin)<br />
    * Genetic differences in sensitivity of receptors and messenger systems that deliver the sex hormone expenditure in the cell. Another possibility, is associated with disturbances feelings, psychological factors, social problems, or serotonin function experienced by patients.<br />
    * Dealing with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels are abnormal / Hypothyroid)<br />
    * Dealing with pituitary hormones, prostagalandin, and neurotransmitters in the brain<br />
    * Because of lack of intake of vitamin B, calcium and magnesium</p>
<p><strong>Risk-enhancing factors PMS</strong></p>
<p>    * Women who have given birth (PMS more weight after giving birth some children, especially if he has experienced a pregnancy with complications such as toksima)<br />
    * Marital status (married women have PMS more than that yet)<br />
    * Age (STDs more frequently and interfere with age, especially between the ages of 30 to 45 years)<br />
    * Stress<br />
    * Too much consumption of sugar, salt, coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, dairy products and processed foods<br />
    * Lack of nutrients vitamin B (especially B6), vitamin E, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, linoleic fatty acids.<br />
    * The habit of smoking and drinking alcohol<br />
    * Lack of exercise and physical activity<br />
    * Obesity</p>

<p>PMDD (premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)<br />
Psychological symptoms of PMDD is a more extreme form of PMS, such as the deep sadness felt during PMS even get up the desire to commit suicide. PMDD occurs anywhere in the 3% &#8211; 9% of women. &#8220;This is a real biological condition in which women who experience it requires special treatment that is effective,&#8221;-Jean Endicott, PhD, Director of premenstrual Evaluation Section at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center</p>
<p>Source: (womenshealth.gov U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, Office on Women&#8217;s Health)</p>
<p>Dysmenorrhea<br />
Dysmenorrhea is pain / cramps that occur at 24 hours before the bleeding period and can be felt for 24 to 36 hours. Dysmenorrhea is divided into 2 types:</p>
<p>   1. Primary dysmenorrhea / Menstrual Pain Primer<br />
      The cause was uterine contractions because of increased hormone prostaglandin<br />
   2. Dysmenorrhea Skunder / Skunder Menstrual Pain<br />
      The cause is abnormalities such as endometriosis pregnancy, inflammatory disease in the pubic area cavities, inflammation of the fallopian tube, abnormal perlengketan between organs in the abdomen, the use of IUD</p>
<p><strong>POLIMENORE</strong><br />
Hemorrhage Polimenore is roughly the same or more than normal volume of menstrual bleeding with menstrual cycle length is less than 21 days per cycle. The cause is a hormonal disorder causing interference with the process of ovulation or a shortened luteal phase of menstrual cycle, the dam of the ovary caused by the inflammation / infection, endometriosis</p>
<p><strong>OLIGOMENORE</strong><br />
Bleeding volume Oligomenore is less than normal volume of menstrual bleeding with menstrual cycle length of more than 35 days per cycle.</p>
<p><strong>Amenorrhea</strong><br />
Amenorrhea is the cessation of / no occurrence of menstrual bleeding, at least 3 months in a row with the menstrual cycle menstrual cycle extends from the classical (oligomenorea).</p>
<p><strong>HIPERMENORE</strong><br />
Is the Hipermenore menstrual bleeding too much and lasted longer than normal (more than 8 days). The cause is a tumor of the uterus (uterine uteri), uterine contraction disorders, endometrial polyps uteri, disorders of the endometrium lining uteri release at the time of menstrual bleeding</p>
<p><strong>HIPOMENORE</strong><br />
Is Hipomenore menstrual bleeding less than usual, but it does not interfere with fertilitasnya. The reason is hormonal endocrine disorders and disorders of the uterus</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Menstruation is one of the strengths of women who can provide advantages and disadvantages as well.</strong> Profitable, because if we are able to ovulate, which means we can get pregnant and have kids. Not profitable, because many of us have to experience pain or mood up and down, which we often refer to as pre-menstrual syndrome or PMS.</p>
<p>Regular menstruation is a sign of hormone balance, with the assumption that we are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or menopause. <strong>Regular menstrual period indicates that we are in week </strong>(called the Venus Week) to prepare for ovulation. Hormone that starts the first day of such period lasted help us be in the best condition. On the third or fourth day of menstruation, we are getting better conditions.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, <strong>not all women can feel regular menstrual</strong>. There are erratic menstrual come, or felt the pain was so great. Even if our regular menses, but blood flowed in copious amounts, is also a sign that we are having menstrual problems. Various issues surrounding this period if allowed can affect our fertility.</p>
<p><strong>Basically, there are four types of menstrual problems that often occur in women:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Painful menstruation or dysmenorrhea.</strong> &#8220;The first Dysmenorrhea associated with increasing levels of natural chemicals in the body during ovulation, which causes pain,&#8221; wrote Mary Jane Minkin, MD, in Women&#8217;s Health for Life. &#8220;Dysmenorrhea both a sign of an underlying disorder.&#8221; This second Dysmenorrhea affects women who had never before menstruation.</p>
<p>Reproductive disorders, endometriosis, or fibroids can cause menstrual pain, and the only way to know for sure the cause is checked out to the doctor. Dysmenorrhea symptoms include pain in the lower back or legs, abdominal cramps, or pain in the pelvic bone. Menstrual problems may indicate infertility. So the sooner you know, the better.</p>
<p><strong>2. Menstruation is very great, or menorrhagia.</strong> Hormonal imbalance or uterine abnormalities can cause menstrual blood volume is very high, but Dr. Minkin said that the cause is not always clear. If you menstruate for seven days or more, and blood came out no longer accommodated by the bandage, then chances are you suffer from menorrhagia. Blood clot was also normal, but blood clots in large quantities is a sign of heavy periods.</p>
<p>Menorrhagia cause anemia, so make sure you consume enough iron. Of lean meat, green vegetables, cereal, oatmeal, boiled soybeans, and other nuts, are sources of iron are good. You may need medication from a doctor to deal with excessive menstrual or anemia, but make sure your doctor knows if for example you are trying to get pregnant.</p>
<p><strong>3. Irregular menstruation, or oligomenorrhea. </strong>Menstruation is not predictable arrival including normal, but if this happens in your first year of periods and during perimenopause (the years before menopause). Hormone imbalance or disorder also causes irregular menstruation, which can affect fertility and your chance to get a baby. Dr. Minkin suggests to record the menstrual cycle to see if the disorder is still considered normal, because what is normal for one person may not be normal for another. &#8220;Fortunately, most of the problems of menstruation is a small problem, and can be treated,&#8221; he explained.</p>
<p><strong>4. Absence of periods or amenorrhea. </strong>If you do not menstruate for three months, chances are you&#8217;re pregnant. But other causes could also be because you have amenorrhea, perimenopausal, or menopausal. &#8220;The most common cause of the absence of menstruation is pregnancy,&#8221; explains Dr. Minkin. &#8220;Amenorrhea is also a side effect of illness, stress, exercise too hard, or losing weight too much.&#8221;</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re not a period, means you do not ovulate, or release eggs each month. If you are not ovulating, then you also will have difficulty pregnant. Consult a physician for the diagnosis and treatment of amenorrhea. Avoid diet and exercise that is too tight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you hear the word <strong>menopause</strong> is looming in our minds is the women who had not experienced longer periods due to the influence of age. And because it was old then and it seemed natural when these women complain about health problems, such as &#8220;a senile &#8230;. Oh naturally because older; porous bone. &#8230; It&#8217;s like a disease of the elderly; easily diarrhea &#038; hard to hold urine &#8230; . if the old would normally do like a baby anymore. What is less recognized is that this is actually caused by one thing, <strong>the reduction in levels of the hormone estrogen in a woman&#8217;s body after menopause</strong>. As discussed in menopausal memorial day world that fell on October 18 later in the Hotel Sahid Jaya, Thursday, October 14, 2009 yesterday with the theme &#8216;Life is <strong>Sweet in Early Menopause</strong>&#8216;.</p>
<p>It is estimated that there are> <strong>5 million Indonesian women who had entered menopause per year</strong> (data from BPS, 2008) where approximately 68% of them experienced symptoms of the climacteric (menopausal complaints) but only 62% of those who ignore these symptoms. Menopause itself is defined as a period after 12 months without menstruation (amenorrhoea). Menopause usually occurs at the age of 50 years and over. At this time the body has some biological changes that cause a sharp decline in ovarian function (ovarian) of which is decreased production of sex hormones, especially estrogen significantly. Declining levels of estrogen in the body greatly affects quality of life of women, although symptoms can vary in every woman.</p>
<p>Hormonal changes result in the emergence of this body symptoms such as joint pain &#038; pain in his back, drying of the vagina (so ill during sexual intercourse), difficult to hold urine, mood disorders &#038; high emotions so stressful, but it decreased estrogen levels also cause trend of increased blood pressure, weight gain &#038; increased cholesterol levels. In the long-term decline in complaints due to estrogen levels can cause osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, Alzheimer type dementia, stroke, colon cancer, tooth loss &#038; cataracts.</p>
<p>For most women these complaints, especially that intersect with everyday life can have negative impacts on the quality of life &#038; self-confidence. For that we need appropriate treatment of menopausal deal. <strong>Currently the most effective medications to treat the symptoms of menopause &#038; well as the prevention of osteoporosis is the estrogen hormone-based therapies that aim to replace the decline in estrogen that occurs at menopause</strong>. And for menopausal women who still have a uterus (womb) then the combined therapy with progestogen.</p>
<p>In addition it is important to remember that our lifestyles are affecting youth menopausal symptoms will be felt later. <strong>Here are some tips to stay healthy when entering menopause later, namely:</strong></p>
<p>   1. no smoking (if they try to quit smoking),<br />
   2. do not drink alcohol,<br />
   3. frequent exercise regularly,<br />
   4. eating healthy foods (especially those derived from soya beans as a source of phytoestrogens) &#038;<br />
   5. enough sunlight.</p>
<p>Finally we can say that<strong> menopause is a natural thing that will happen to every woman</strong>. His arrival is not scary as long as we can sensibly event of complaints, visit the doctor to get treatment.</p>
