So wowɔ sickle cell su bi? Momma yɛnka nneɛma 3 yi ho asɛm na ama yɛanya apɔwmuden!

Hɛlo! Ebia oduruyɛfo bi aka akyerɛ wo sɛ wowɔ sickle cell su. Ebia wotee ehu ne ehu nka kakra bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ wo saa no, ɛnte saa? Nanso mma ɛnhaw wo. Ɛnyɛ yare a emu yɛ den ankasa.

Momma yenni kan nte nea sickle cell su yɛ ase kɛkɛ.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, sickle cell su yɛ su ketewaa bi a wunya fi w’awofo hɔ denam w’awosu mu. Susuw ho hwɛ, yɛwɔ mogya bi a wɔfrɛ no mogya mu nkwammoaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ yɛn mogya mu.

Nanso, wɔ obi a ɔwɔ sickle cell su mu no, mogya mu nkwammoaa kɔkɔɔ yi bi, wɔ tebea horow bi mu (sɛ nhwɛso no, sɛ nipadua no mu nsu nnim anaasɛ wokɔ baabi a ɛkorɔn a), tumi yɛ soronko kakra, te sɛ sickle .

Nanso ade a ɛho hia sen biara wɔ ha ne sɛ nneɛma abien na ɛwɔ hɔ, sɛ wowɔ Sickle Cell Trait ne Sickle Cell Disease anaa Sickle Cell Anemia a wowɔ.

3 nneɛma a ɛho hia sen biara a wubetumi ayɛ na ama woanya apɔwmuden!

Okay, enti sɛ wunim sɛ wowɔ sickle cell su a, nneɛma atitiriw abiɛsa na wubetumi ayɛ na ama woanya apɔwmuden. Momma yɛnka wɔn ho asɛm mmiako mmiako.

1. Nom nsuo pii da mũ no nyinaa – yei ho hia paa!

Eyi ne ade a edi kan na ɛho hia sen biara. Nsu pii a wobɛnom no boa ma wo mogya kɔ yiye na biribiara nsiw wo kwan. Fa no sɛ mogya ntini a ɛwɔ yɛn nipadua mu no sɛ nsu afiri a ɛde nsu fa mu. Sɛ wɔhwɛ nsu no so yiye a, nsu no sen yiye a ɛnsiw, ɛnte saa? Saa na ɛte. Sɛ yɛnom nsu pii a, yɛn mogya nso sen brɛoo na ɛnkyere nipadua no nyinaa.

Eyi ho hia titiriw ma obi a ɔwɔ sickle cell su. Efisɛ, sɛ woannom nsu a ɛdɔɔso, kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ wo ho yɛ wo hyew a , sɛnea madi kan aka no, mogya mu nkwammoaa kɔkɔɔ no sesa ne nsɛso (ɛbɛyɛ sɛ sickle), na ɛda adi sɛ ɛbɛkyere mogya ntini nketenkete no mu. Ɛno nti na yɛka sɛ nom nsuo pii.

Wo duruyɛfo bɛka akyerɛ wo pɛpɛɛpɛ.Nsu dodow ahe na ɛsɛ sɛ wonom da biara ? Nanso mmara pa a ɛsɛ sɛ wodi ne sɛ wobɛnom nsu bɛyɛ nkuruwa 8 da biara.

Kae: Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ wonom nsu pii sen sɛnea wotaa nom.

#### Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ ɛyɛ adwene pa sɛ wobɛnom nsu pii wɔ mmere te sɛ eyinom mu:

• Sɛ wote nka sɛ sukɔm de wo a: Sukɔm yɛ wo nipadua sɛnkyerɛnne ma wo sɛ, "Minni nsu a ɛdɔɔso." Enti nom nsu bere a wote nka sɛ sukɔm de wo ara pɛ.
• Sɛ wode wimhyɛn tu kwan a: Mframa a ɛwɔ wimhyɛn mu no yɛ kusuu yiye, enti hokwan kɛse wɔ hɔ sɛ nsu bɛtu afi wo nipadua mu.
• Sɛ woteɛteɛ w’apɔw mu denneennen: te sɛ akansi agumadi anaa asraafo ntetee mu a, wo nipadua no hwere nsu pii denam fifiri so. Enti nom nsu pii ansa na woateɛteɛ w’apɔw mu, bere a woreteɛteɛ w’apɔw mu, ne bere a woawie no.
• Sɛ woreyɛ nhyehyɛe akɔ mmepɔw so aforo anaasɛ wobɛkɔ nsu ase a: Sɛ wokɔ mmeae a ɛkorɔn anaa po a emu dɔ a, wo nipadua no bɛkɔ nhyɛso ahorow mu. Ɛho hia nso sɛ wobɛnom nsu pii wɔ saa mmere yi mu.
• Sɛ wuhu sɛ mogya wɔ wo nsu mu a : Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, wo nsu no kɔla betumi ayɛ pink, kɔkɔɔ, anaa bruu. Sɛ wuhu biribi te sɛ eyi a, mmu w’ani ngu so. Nea ɛka ɛno ho no, nom nsu pii na kɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn ntɛm ara.
• Sɛ wowɔ ɛyaw wɔ wo nipadua mu baabiara a: Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, nnipa a wɔwɔ sickle cell su no betumi ate ɛyaw esiane nneɛma nketenkete a asiw nti. Bɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛnom nsu wɔ saa mmere yi mu. Nanso sɛ ɛyaw no mu yɛ den a, kɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn.

2. Sɛ woteɛteɛ w’apɔw mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ no dwoodwoo!

Apɔw-mu-teɛteɛ ye ma nipadua no yiye. Ɛho nhia sɛ wugyae apɔw-mu-teɛteɛ esiane sɛ wowɔ sickle cell su nti kɛkɛ. Nanso ɛho hia sɛ wutie wo nipadua bere a woreteɛteɛ w’apɔw mu no. Ɛnyɛ papa sɛ wobɛpia wo ho mpofirim akɔ akyiri asen wo anohyeto.

#### Hwɛ yiye wɔ saa nneɛma yi ho bere a woreyɛ apɔw-mu-teɛteɛ no:

• Fa agumadi foforo bi yɛ wo su nkakrankakra: Fa no sɛ wowɔ fie wɔ sukuu akwamma bere mu na mpofirim ara wufi ase reyɛ agumadi. Ɛnyɛ papa sɛ wode nhyɛso pii bɛto wo nipadua so prɛko pɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ wufi ase nkakrankakra. Te sɛ kar no, efi ase tu mmirika ntɛmntɛm. Saa ara na ma wo nipadua no bere mfa nyɛ su.
• Nom nsu pii ansa na woateɛteɛ w’apɔw mu, bere a woreyɛ apɔw-mu-teɛteɛ, ne bere a woawie: Ɛho nhia sɛ yɛbɛka eyi. Yɛaka hia a nsu ho hia ho asɛm pɛn.
• Gye w’ahome bere a wote nka sɛ woabrɛ no:Mma nnhwe wo ho nsusuw sɛ, "Metumi ayɛ kakra bio." Sɛ wote nka sɛ woabrɛ a, gyae na gye w’ahome.
• Hu ɔhaw ho sɛnkyerɛnne na bɔ ho amanneɛ ntɛm: Eyi ho hia yiye. Sɛ wo ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo anaa ɔtetefo bi reyɛ ntetee a, sɛ wote nka sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ a, nsuro sɛ wobɛka akyerɛ wɔn.

#### Sɛ wuhu saa sɛnkyerɛnne ahorow yi bi a, ebetumi ayɛ ɔhaw ho sɛnkyerɛnne. Enti hwɛ yiye:

• Sɛ wote nka sɛ wo ntini mu yɛ wo yaw anaasɛ wo ho ayɛ wo yaw a.

• Sɛ ɛyɛ den ma wo sɛ wobɛhome a (fi ahome mu).

Sɛ biribi te sɛ eyi si a, gyae nea woreyɛ no ntɛm ara. Home. Nom nsu pii. Fa wo ho nwini. Sɛ wo ho tɔ wo pɛ a, hwɛ hu sɛ wobɛkɔ wo duruyɛfo nkyɛn na woaka asɛm a esii no akyerɛ no. Afei obetumi de afotu foforo ama wo.

Fa no sɛ wo ne w’adamfo bi retu mmirika na mpofirim ara wo nan yɛ wo yaw a, so wubebu w’ani agu so na woakɔ so atu mmirika? Dabi, na wubegyina hɔ ahwɛ nea asi. Saa na ɛte, tie nsɛnkyerɛnne a wo nipadua no de rema wo no.

3. Wo ne wo duruyɛfo nkasa daa.

Wo duruyɛfo ne onipa a oye sen biara a obetu wo fo wɔ w’akwahosan ho. Wɔwɔ hɔ sɛ wɔbɛboa wo. Enti sɛ wowɔ nsɛmmisa anaa biribi a ɛhaw wo a, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase sɛ wo ne wɔn bɛkasa. Ɛho hia titiriw sɛ wo ne wo duruyɛfo nya abusuabɔ pa, titiriw sɛ obi a ɔwɔ Sickle Cell Trait.

#### Wɔ nsɛm te sɛ eyinom mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokɔ oduruyɛfo nkyɛn ampa, anaasɛ anyɛ yiye koraa no, wofrɛ obi wɔ telefon so:

• Sɛ wunya sɛnkyerɛnne foforo biara a: Mma w’ani ngu so, sɛ ɛyɛ nketenkete mpo a. Sɛ nhwɛso no, wo nipadua mu yɛ wo yaw mpɛn pii, ɔbrɛ a ɛtra so, ɛyɛ den sɛ wobɛhome , anaa mogya a ɛba wo nsu mu. Frɛ wo duruyɛfo ntɛm ara.

Nanso, ebia nea efii `(HbA1c)` sɔhwɛ yi mu bae no rennyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ koraa wɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ sickle cell su mu. Enti, sɛ wɔrekɔyɛ asikreyare ho nhwehwɛmu a, hwɛ hu sɛ wobɛka akyerɛ wo duruyɛfo sɛ wowɔ sickle cell su. Afei wo duruyɛfoɔ bɛtumi ayɛ nhwehwɛmu foforɔ a ɛfata (sɛ nhwɛsoɔ no, `Fasting Plasma Glucose` nhwehwɛmu).
• Sɛ wopɛ sɛ wuhu nneɛma foforo a woahu wɔ Sickle Cell Trait ho a:Aduruyɛ ho nyansahu renya nkɔso da biara da. Nsɛm foforo ne ayaresa foforo reba. Enti sɛ w’ani gye ho sɛ wubesua eyi ho ade pii a, bisa wo duruyɛfo no ho asɛm.
• Sɛ woreyɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wubefi abusua ase na woawo mma a: Eyi nso ho hia paa. Sɛ wowɔ Sickle Cell Trait a, ɛho hia sɛ wuhu sɛ ebia wo daakye hokafo nso wɔ Sickle Cell Trait anaa Sickle Cell Disease anaa. Efisɛ sɛ mo baanu nyinaa wɔ awosu mu su yi a, hokwan wɔ hɔ sɛ wo ba no benya Sickle Cell Disease. Ɛho nhia sɛ yɛhaw yɛn ho wɔ eyi ho. Wo duruyɛfo betumi akyerɛkyerɛ asiane yi mu akyerɛ wo na wabɔ wo amanneɛ nso wɔ akwan a wobɛfa so atew saa asiane no so (sɛ nhwɛso no, awosu mu afotu).

Kae sɛ wo duruyɛfo te sɛ w’adamfo. Ka wo haw ne wo suro kyerɛ wɔn.
