Santiago de Compostela, 2011-October Spain allergies and asthma are chronic diseases more prevalent in children and adolescents. According to a study conducted by the Ministry of health, more than 10% of children under 15 years of suffering from chronic illness.

In the context of the 25th National Congress of the society of Pediatrics Extrahospitalaria and primary care (SEPEAP), pediatricians addressed different aspects on chronic diseases in children and adolescents. Especially, the experts contributed in most common diseases and the importance of the role of the pediatrician in the improvement of the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases.

Diseases

Several studies place to asthma disease more frequent Chronicle among Spanish children (with an incidence of between 7 and 15.3 per cent), followed by diabetes and Oncology diseases, being the most common leukaemia, together with brain tumors, with incidence rates ranging between 4 and 40 cases for every 100,000 children. However, in recent years the survival rate has increased 15% and, moreover, now 70% of patients recovering from disease.

The advancement of new technologies is allowing increase levels of survival of children with chronic illnesses. “ Thanks to advances in chemotherapy, increasingly more diagnosed patients of malignant diseases, like leukemia, was replenished and maintain their quality of life ”, explains Dr. Luis Sánchez Santos, President of the XXV Congress of SEPEAP and pediatrician of the Centre for health of Arzúa, A Coruña.

The role of the pediatrician

For the SEPEAP, the role of primary care pediatrician is essential to assist the child with chronic disease. According to the specialist, “ is very important that we know the evolution of the disease and we coordinate the necessary care, but we must not forget that support for the child and his family is essential ”.

Help the family to meet and live with the disease of the patient is essential to certain malignant diseases closest relatives can feel fear, despair, or even culpability, sobe everything if it’s genetic diseases.

Also, the SEPEAP considers it necessary that care is shared by the different levels of care, integrating both health professionals and social. In this regard, the experts consider essential to improve communication and coordination among professionals in order to promote the quality of life of the patient and improve the pace of attention in the consultations.

Care overload

Although there are many cases of chronic patients requiring greater attention of health professionals, most of the time the ease of access to consultations, overload the pediatricians with cases of children with most banal pathologies (Snot, tenths of fever, etc.).

The overuse of primary care consultations both affects family physicians like to pediatricians. In this respect, assistance to patients without appointment, whose attendance is not urgent and could be delayed, is a disorder in the pace of consultations. “ Many times is to pediatrician to solve any problem of the child, whether medical or otherwise, and this represents an increase in medical visits, delayed the appointments of other patients that need more attention ”.

Frequent and not justified assistance to consultation arises from several factors:

1. The promotion made by the public administrations of free health and lack of dedication to the education for health and the promotion of rational use of the services and self-care.

2. Families who need to repeatedly check the same doubts in all queries.

3. Own paediatricians and other specialists suggest that any doubts should be consulted with the expert.

4. Society and the media promote the excessive assistance to pediatricians queries

La SEPEAP affects that it is necessary that parents and guardians maintain a responsible attitude and applying appointment when really necessary, so that consultations, not, above all, soak in the afternoons, which is when the parents leave work and have more time to be in the query.

incontinence associated with menopause … a myth!

today 18 October is celebrated the world day of menopause

El Instituto Indas ensures that, far from assume ‘ arrival at old age ’, menopause is a stage full of opportunities for women, in which urinary incontinence should not be seen as a consequence ‘ normal ’, but as a pathology should be treated. Anyone with leaking urine should consult the specialist.

Spain, 2011-October “ there is the belief that incontinence is something “ normal ” in the older woman, especially since the enter menopause. A totally wrong concept that society should abandon ”, warns Dr. Manuel Fillol, gynecologist and member of the Committee of experts of the Institute Indas coinciding with the world day of menopause, which takes place today, 18 October.

In this way, the Indas Institute breaks the myth that urinary incontinence associated with menopause. According to data from the National Institute of statistics (INE), 19.6 per cent of Spanish women has between 45 and 59 years, and a 14.1% between 60 and 74 years, and most enjoys good health. Also, life expectancy is currently around the age of 85, which is why “ should not be the menopause as a disgrace. It is a new stage of personal growth, full of possibilities and we must not relate to the appearance of diseases ” explains Dr. Fillol.

Loss of urine are associated with the weakening of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which may be due to various factors: the overload of the same (by obesity, pregnancy, constipation, etc.) and the loss of its quality. “ Belief that incontinence associated with menopause, can be related to the fact of the loss of quality of tissues that age may condition. But we cannot say that there is a causal relationship between the two. Either way, it is a condition which must be diagnosed and treated, never assume it as something „ normal what happens with the age ” advised the expert gynecologist.

For each type of incontinence treatment

Not all incontinencias are equal; There are different types, and each of them has different treatments. The most frequent are the stress incontinence, involuntary loss of urine coinciding with a blow of cough or physical exercise; the urge incontinence, loss of urine preceded a urgent desire for urination; and mixed incontinence, which is the combination of the two previous ones.

“ If the patient presents stress incontinence, most advisable are Kegel exercises, a table of muscles of the pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises and, in the event that he is overweight, dieting. If stress incontinence is urgent, in addition to the above measures, the patient must train his bladder, being disciplined for going to urinate, trying to make it every two or three hours. In these cases, it is also usual to prescribe a specific medication ”, points out Dr. Fillol.

Incontinence, although it is not a serious disease, can considerably impair the quality of life of the patient. All this must take measures to prevent the emergence of this disease as: strengthen pelvic floor muscles, not to exceed consumption of cafes and exciting, controlling the excessive intake of fluids, and maintain a healthy and balanced diet to avoid overweight, obesity and constipation.

In Spain, more than 2 million people suffer from urinary incontinence and more than 6 million people has been leaking urine at some point in his life. But despite this high prevalence is a pathology infradiagnosticada because there are still many women who live with her in silence, shame or modesty.

The Institute Indas recommends that, to the minor symptoms of urinary incontinence, you consult with your doctor, who will perform the diagnosis and, according to this, will recommend the treatment proper.
