Iyini i-Osteoarthritis
Isifo samathambo siwukuvuvukala kwelunga okuholela ekudumbeni nasekuncipheni kwelunga elithintekayo. Isifo samathambo singaba nezimbangela ezihlukahlukene, okubangela ukuvuvukala kwelunga ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. I-Osteoarthritis iyimbangela evamile kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika.
Okubangela i-Osteoarthritis
Kubantu abaningi i-Osteoarthritis, iwumphumela wokuguga kanye “nokuwohloka” kwamalunga akho ngemva kweminyaka eminingi esebenza. Ngamanye amazwi, amalunga akho ayawohloka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngenxa yokusetshenziswa – yingakho i-osteoarthritis yaziwa nangokuthi yisifo sokuwohloka kwamalunga.
Indawo ewohloka ngokuyinhloko ku-osteoarthritis yi-articular cartilage. I-articular cartilage iwuhlobo lwesicubu esemboza amaphethelo ethambo nesivumela ukuba amathambo ahlikihlane ngokushelelayo. Ukulimala kwale ndawo (njengaku-Osteoarthritis) kwenza kube nzima ngamathambo ukunyakaza futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kubangela ukugogeka kanye nezinhlungu. Ngokuvamile, i-osteoarthritis ivela kancane kancane ngemva kweminyaka eminingi futhi ingaqala elungeni elilodwa kuphela.
Amalunga athinteka kakhulu ahlanganisa:
- Amalunga esandla
- Amadolo
- Inqulu
- Umgogodla
Amadoda avame ukuthinteka enqulwini kuyilapho abesifazane bevame ukuthinteka kakhulu ezandleni nasemadolweni.
Izici eziyingozi
- Ukuguga - ngokuvamile isifo siqala ezigulini lapho zineminyaka engu-50 nengu-60.
- Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile
- Ubulili - Abesifazane bathinteka kakhulu kunabesilisa, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokuyeka ukuya esikhathini.
- Ufuzo
- Ukulimala kwangaphambilini kwelunga.
- Umsebenzi - Izisebenzi zasemayini nezasemapulazini zisengozini enkulu eNingizimu Afrika.
Izimpawu
- Izinhlungu zelunga ezivela lapho uhamba noma uphakamisa into esindayo. Kuvamile zichazwa njengezinhlungu ezijulile noma ezinkenkethayo.
- Ukuqina kwamalunga okuthatha imizuzu engaphansi kwengu-30 ekuseni. Izinga elivamile lokuhamba lingase liphazamiseke.
- I-crepitus yelungu. Umuzwa wokugayeka elungeni elithintekile njengoba uhamba.
- Ukuvuvukala kwethambo elungeni elithintekile.
* Izimpawu zivela kancane kancane kodwa ngokuthuthukayo.
Ukuhlonzwa
I-Osteoarthritis ngokuvamile ihlonzwa ngokuqaphela izinto ezingavamile ekwakhekeni kwelunga nokuhlola izimpawu. I-X-Ray ingase isize nayo ekuhlonzeni.
Ukulawula
Ayikho indlela eyaziwayo yokuvimbela i-osteoarthritis futhi ukulawula lesi sifo kwenziwa ngokwelapha izimpawu kanye nokunciphisa ukukhubazeka.
Indlela yokuphila:
- Ukunciphisa isisindo somzimba
- Ukuzivocavoca
- I-Hydrotherapy
- Iqhwa noma isifudumezi
- Umyalezo
- ama-insoles ezinyawo eziyisicaba, induku yokuhamba
Umuthi:
- Imithi yezinhlungu njenge-paracetamol
- Imijovo emalungeni athintekile ngemithi ukuze kuncishiswe ukuvuvukala (imijovo ye-corticosteroid) ukuze unikezwe ukuthuthukiswa kwesikhashana
Ukuhlinzwa:
- Nge-osteoarthritis enzima, ukushintshwa kwe-hip noma kwamadolo kungase kuboniswe.
