He niho anei ko kāu pēpē hānau hou? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i nā niho Natal!

Ke nānā mua ke kauka i kāu mea hou i ka ʻohana, e kahaha ʻoe inā ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'He niho ko ka pēpē'. Ke noʻonoʻo nei paha ʻoe, 'Auē, pehea lā e hiki ai i nā niho ke hānau ʻia mai?' ʻOiai he mea kakaikahi kēia, hānau ʻia kekahi mau pēpē me nā niho. ʻO kēia nā mea a mākou e kapa nei he niho Natal. Mai hopohopo, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i nā mea āpau i kēia lā.

He aha kēia mau niho Natal?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo nā niho Natal nā niho o ka pēpē i loko o ko lākou waha i ka wā e hānau ʻia ai. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, hele mai kēia mau mea ma ke alo o ka ʻāwae lalo, ʻo ia hoʻi, nā niho waena ʻelua ma ka ʻāwae lalo. I kekahi manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā lākou e hele mai ana i nā pālua.

ʻAʻole kēia he mea e hana ʻia i nā pēpē a pau. Ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, hōʻike ka noiʻi he hoʻokahi i loko o 300 mau pēpē hānau hou e loaʻa paha nā niho ma kēia ʻano. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻamau. Akā, ʻaʻole maopopo loa i nā loea ke kumu o kēia hana. Manaʻo lākou i kēia manawa he mea hoʻoilina paha ia a he hōʻailona paha o kekahi maʻi olakino ʻē aʻe.

Hiki i kēia mau ʻano niho ʻelua ke ʻōpiopio a i ʻole ka oʻo. Eia kekahi, i kekahi manawa hiki i kēia ke lilo i mau niho supernumerary. ʻO ia hoʻi, nā niho e hele mai ana ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻonohonoho maʻamau o nā niho.

No ke aha i loaʻa ai i kekahi mau pēpē kēia mau niho?

ʻAʻole i loaʻa i nā kauka ke kumu kikoʻī o kēia, akā manaʻoʻiʻo lākou he nui nā kumu e hiki ke kōkua i ia.

• ʻAno Hoʻoilina: I kekahi manawa hiki ke holo kēia i loko o nā ʻohana. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, hoʻoilina kekahi mau keiki i kahi ʻano kahi e kokoke ana nā hunaola niho e hoʻomaka ana e hana i nā niho i ka ʻili o ka ʻāʻī. Hiki i kekahi mau kūlana hoʻoilina ke kumu i ka puka mua ʻana o kēia mau niho.

• Nā maʻi: Hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia kēia pilikia e kekahi mau maʻi i loaʻa i ka makuahine i ka wā hāpai, no ka laʻana, syphilis congenital.

• Nā kūlana Endocrine: ʻO nā pilikia hormonal, e like me ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka hana o nā kelepa e like me ka thyroid a me ka pituitary, hiki ke hoʻopilikia i kēia.

• Nā Kemika: ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i nā kemika e hoʻopilikia ana i kekahi mau hormones ua manaʻo ʻia kekahi kumu.

He mea iki e pili ana i nā maʻi genetic

Aia kekahi mau kūlana genetic kakaikahi i ʻike ʻia e pili ana paha i ka ulu ʻana o nā niho hānau. ʻO nā laʻana e komo pū me ka 'Ectodermal dysplasia', 'Ellis-van Creveld syndrome' a me 'Pachyonychia congenita'. He mea kakaikahi loa kēia. I loko o ka nui o kēia mau kūlana, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia kahi gene e pili ana i keratin, kahi protein e hana ai i nā mea e like me ko kākou mau kui a me ka ʻili. ʻOiai ua pili pū kēia gene i ka ulu ʻana o nā niho, ua manaʻo ʻia i kēia manawa he kumu paha kēia.

Pono anei kēia mau niho i ka mālama ʻia?

ʻAʻohe pono e hopohopo inā he niho ko kāu pēpē e like me kēia. I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻaʻohe pono o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Inā ikaika ka niho, kūpono ke kūlana, a ʻaʻohe pilikia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waiho wale ʻana.

Eia nō naʻe, i kekahi mau hihia kūikawā, ʻōlelo nā kauka e wehe i kēia mau niho. Eia nā hihia e like me kēia:

• Inā palupalu loa ka niho: Inā ʻaʻole i ulu pono ke aʻa o ka niho, hiki ke palupalu loa. Inā hana ʻia kēlā , nui ka pilikia e hemo a paʻa i loko o ka puʻu o ke pēpē. No ka mea he mea weliweli kēia, ua wehe ʻia kēlā mau niho.
• Nā pilikia i ka wā e hānai waiū ai: Inā ua ʻeha nā umauma o ka makuahine a i ʻole ua loaʻa ka ʻeha hiki ʻole ke hoʻomanawanui ma muli o kēia mau niho i ka wā e hānai waiū ana i ka pēpē.
• Inā ua ʻeha ke alelo o kāu pēpē: Inā ua ʻeha pinepine ka ʻaoʻao lalo o ke alelo o kāu pēpē ma muli o ka ʻoi o nā niho. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo 'ka maʻi Riga-Fede' i ka lāʻau lapaʻau.
• Inā nāwaliwali ke ʻano o ka niho: Inā ʻaʻole i ulu pono ka niho a ua nāwaliwali.

Āhea wau e ʻike ai i ke kauka?

ʻO ka maʻamau, e nānā pono ke kauka keiki i ka pēpē ma ka haukapila i kona hānau ʻia ʻana. Me ka nānā ʻana i ke kiʻekiʻe a me ke kaumaha o ka pēpē, he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ka nānā ʻana i loko o ka waha o ka nānā ʻana. I ka manawa pinepine, ʻike mua ʻia kēia mau niho i kēlā manawa.

Ma hope o kēlā, e nānā ke kauka i ke kūlana o kēia mau niho. E nānā ʻo ia i ka nui o ka wehe ʻana o ka niho a inā paha e hiki ke hōʻino, a inā pono, hiki iā ia ke hana i kahi X-ray. Eia kekahi, inā he kānalua e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi kumu genetic no kēia, hiki iā ia ke kuhikuhi iā ʻoe no nā hoʻokolohua e pono ai.

E kahaha paha ʻoe a makaʻu iki paha i ka ʻike ʻana he niho ko kāu keiki liʻiliʻi i ka wā hānau. He mea maʻamau loa kēia. Akā, mai hopohopo no ia mea. I ka hapanui o nā hihia, he loli liʻiliʻi wale nō kēia, he loli ʻino ʻole i ka ulu ʻana o kāu pēpē. E nānā ke kime lapaʻau e mālama ana iā ʻoe a me kāu pēpē i kēia a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo āu e pono ai. Inā he mau hopohopo kāu, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana iā lākou. E wehewehe lākou i nā mea āpau iā ʻoe a e hoʻomaha i kou manaʻo.
