Sɛ wɔayɛ wo nufu mu nhwehwɛmu nnansa yi a, ebia wo duruyɛfo anaa mfiridwuma ho nimdefo aka akyerɛ wo sɛ wo nufu yɛ den, anaasɛ wowɔ ‘nufu a ɛyɛ den.’ Ɛyɛ ade a ɛfata sɛ wobɛte ehu ne ehu nka kakra bere a wote nsɛm yi. "Nufu a ɛyɛ den? Ɛno kyerɛ dɛn? So ɛyɛ yare? Dɛn na mɛyɛ mprempren?" Ebia nsɛmmisa pii wɔ w’adwenem. Enti mma nsuro. Momma yɛnka eyi ho asɛm tiawa na emu nna hɔ.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, dɛn ne ‘Nufu a Ɛyɛ Den’ yi?

Ade a edi kan a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛte ase ne sɛ ‘Nufu a Ɛyɛ Den’ nyɛ yare, na saa ara nso na ɛnyɛ biribi a ɛsɛ sɛ wosa . Afei nso, ɛnyɛ biribi a wubetumi adi so. Saa tebea yi betumi asesa bere a bere kɔ so no.

Eyi nyɛ sɛnea wo nufu te anaa sɛnea ɛte nka ho asɛm. Ne nyinaa fa sɛnea wo nufu hwɛ wɔ mammogram a ɛyɛ X-ray mu no ho.

Susuw ho hwɛ, yɛn nufu no yɛ afã atitiriw abien:

1. Srade: Eyinom da adi sɛ ɛyɛ tuntum, tuntum wɔ mammogram mu.

2. Ntini ne Ntini a Ɛma Nufusu: Ntini a ɛma nufusu, ntini a ɛde nufusu kɔ, ne ntini a ɛka bom a ɛma nufu no yɛ nsɛso no ka saa ɔfã yi ho. Eyinom nyinaa da adi fitaa wɔ mammogram mu.

Oduruyɛfo a ɔhwɛ mframa so no bɛhwɛ wo nufu no mu mfonini no na wakyekyɛ wo nufu no mu duru mu akuw atitiriw anan a egyina mmeae a ɛyɛ fitaa ne nea ɛyɛ sum no nsusuwii so.

Sɛ wotɔ categories 3 ne 4 mu a, yɛka sɛ wowɔ ‘Dense Breasts’. Ɛkame ayɛ sɛ mmea a wɔwɔ Sri Lanka ne wiase nyinaa no mu fã wɔ nufu a ɛyɛ den. Enti, eyi yɛ tebea a abu so yiye.

Dɛn ne nneɛma a ɛma nufu mu yɛ den?

Ɔkwan bɛn so na eyi ka mammogram ne kokoram ho asiane?

Eyi ne ade a ɛho hia sen biara a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn adwene si so. Nsɛnnennen atitiriw abien na ɛwɔ hɔ sɛ obi benya ‘Nufu a Ɛyɛ Den’.

1. Ɛyɛ den sɛ wobɛkenkan mammograms

Kae sɛ, sɛnea madi kan aka no, ntini a ɛyɛ den no da adi fitaa wɔ mammogram mu. Nea ɛyɛ awerɛhow no, nufu mu kokoramAkisikuru ne akuru afoforo a ɛnyɛ ne kwan so da adi fitaa wɔ mammogram mu.

Enti, bere a nufu no reyɛ kɛse, a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ fitaa no, kokoram nkwammoaa fitaa foforo a ahintaw wɔ saa akyi fitaa no mu a wubehu no betumi ayɛ den te sɛ nea wubehu kraman fitaa wɔ sukyerɛmma a ɛretu mu. Ɛtɔ mmere bi a eyi betumi ama kokoram ketewaa bi ayera.

2. Kokoram ho asiane

Nhwehwɛmu ada no adi sɛ nufu a ɛyɛ den (titiriw ahorow 3 ne 4) a obi nya no yɛ asiane a ɛma obi nya nufu mu kokoram. Nanso, eyi nkyerɛ sɛ akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ wubenya kokoram. Ɛyɛ nneɛma ɔhaha pii a ɛma asiane a ɛwɔ hɔ no yɛ kɛse no mu biako pɛ.

Enti, ɛho hia yiye sɛ wo ne wo duruyɛfo kasa fa asiane a ɛwɔ hɔ sɛ wubenya kokoram nyinaa ho . Nhwɛsoɔ:

• So obi wɔ w’abusua mu (ɛna, onuawa) anya nufu mu kokoram? (Abusua Abakɔsɛm) .
• So woadi kan ayɛ wo nufu mu nhwehwɛmu na woahu nkwammoaa a asiane kɛse wom?
• Wo mfe a woadi ne wo mmusuakuw

Sɛ wowɔ asiane afoforo te sɛ eyinom, ne nufu mu akisikuru a, ebia wo duruyɛfo bɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ nhwehwɛmu foforo.

Sɔhwɛ afoforo bɛn na wobetumi ayɛ?

Wɔ mammogram akyi no, ebia wo duruyɛfo bɛkamfo nhwehwɛmu yi akyerɛ mmea a wɔn nufu yɛ den ne asiane afoforo.

• Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT): Wɔsan frɛ eyi sɛ 3D mammogram. Sɛ́ anka ɛbɛyɛ mfonini biako a ɛyɛ tratraa te sɛ nufu no mu mfonini a wɔyɛ no daa no, ɛyɛ mfonini a ɛwɔ afã abiɛsa (3D) denam mfonini ahorow a wɔatwa afi nufu no afã horow a ɛka bom no so. Eyi ma ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ wubehu nneɛma a ahintaw wɔ ntini a ɛyɛ den mu.
• Ultrasound: Sɔhwɛ a wɔde nnyigyei asorɔkye di dwuma de yɛ nufu no mu mfonini. Eyi betumi ahu akuru a ebia mammogram renhu.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Eyi de magnetic field di dwuma de yɛ nufu no ho mfonini a emu da hɔ yiye na ɛkɔ akyiri. Mpɛn pii no, wɔkamfo kyerɛ mmea a asiane kɛse wom sɛ wobenya nufu mu kokoram nkutoo.

Mfomso biako a ɛwɔ nhwehwɛmu afoforo yi so ne sɛ etumi hu akisikuru a ɛnyɛ hu a ɛnyɛ kokoram mpo. Yɛfrɛ eyinom ‘Atoro Nneɛma a Ɛyɛ Pa’. Eyi betumi de ehu a ɛho nhia, nhwehwɛmu pii, ne ebia oprehyɛn a ɛho nhia mpo aba. Enti,Ɛyɛ papa sɛ wo ne wo duruyɛfo bɛkasa na woasi nhwehwɛmu a eye ma wo ho gyinae.
