Wetin yu nid fɔ no bɔt spɛshal tɔŋ dɛn

Yu dɔn de gɛt bak pen fɔ sɔm tɛm? Sɔntɛnde dis pen kin wɔs na nɛt? Bɔku tɛm wi kin tink se dis kayn pen na nɔmal tin bikɔs wi taya ɛn wi nɔ de tinap fayn. Bɔt sɔntɛnde, rizin kin de we rili siriɔs biɛn am. Tide wi go tɔk bɔt wan tɔpik we siriɔs smɔl, bɔt wi ɔl fɔ no bɔt. dat min se, di tכmכro dεm we de divεlכp na di spayna, כ di spεnal kכd, כ ‘Spinal Tumors’.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na spɛshal tɔŋ?

spεnal tכmכro na di sεl dεm we nכ de gro we nכ de fכm insay כ rawnd yu spεnal kכlכm כ spεnal kכd. Jɔs lɛk aw tumbu kin fɔm na ɔda pat dɛn na wi bɔdi.

Fɔ ɔndastand dis smɔl mɔ, lɛ wi tek wan luk pan wi spayna.

Naw yu dɔn ɔndastand aw dɛn tu pat ya impɔtant? So if tumbu kam na dis kayn impɔtant ples, na sɔntin we yu fɔ wɔri bɔt.

Dɛn tumbu ya kin bi benign ɔ malignant . Bɔt, i nɔ fayn fɔ jɔs tink se dɛn nɔ gɛt kansa. Bikɔs, ivin sɔm tɔŋ dɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa kin gro big ɛn prɛs pan di spɛshal kɔd ɔ di nɛv dɛn, we kin mek siriɔs prɔblɛm.

Tu we dεn de we dεn tכmכro dεm ya kin fכm.

tu men we dεm de we di spεnal tכmכro dεm de fכm. Fɔ ɔndastand dis kin rili impɔtant bak fɔ tritmɛnt.

1. Praymari Spinal Tכmכro dεm: Dis na tכmכro dεm we de fכs divεlכp na di spayna. dis min se di tכmכro de bigin na di spayna. Dɛn tin ya nɔ kin apin so ɔltɛm.

2. Metastatic or Secondary Spinal Tumors: Dis na di kayn we we pipul dεn kin kכmכn pas ɔl. wetin de apin ya na di kεnsar sεl dεm we dεn stat כdasay na di bכdi (fכ egzampl, di lכng, di brεst, di prכstat) de travul tru di bכdi εn sεtul insay di spεnal kכd, usay dεn de gro to tכmכro.

Aw yu kin klas di spɛshal tɔŋ dɛm?

Dɔktɔ dɛn kin sheb dɛn tumbu ya to difrɛn kayn dɛn. Dis kin mek am izi fɔ ɔndastand di sik kɔrɛkt wan ɛn no di bɛst tritmɛnt.

Dipen pan di say we de na di spayna

Wi spayna gɛt difrɛn pat dɛn. Dɛn kin sheb dɛn bak akɔdin to usay di tumbu de.

• Ekstradural: dεn ya de kכmכt na do na di spεnal kכd. dat na, insay di bon dεm na di spayna (vεrbra). di mכtalman in spεnal tכmכro dεm de pan dis kayn.

Bak pen na di men sayn!

di simptom dεm fכ spεnal tכmכro dipכnt pan plεnti tin dεm. di say, di sayz, εn di kayn tכmכro kin afekt dis. Sɔm smɔl smɔl tumbu dɛn nɔ kin sho ɛni sayn atɔl. Bɔt di sayn dɛn kin sho we di tumbu de gro big ɛn bigin fɔ prɛs pan di nerv dɛn we de nia am.

Pe atɛnshɔn mɔ to dɛn sayn ya:

We yu go to dɔktɔ, i go tek tɛm lisin to yu sayn dɛn. Dɔn i go chɛk yu. I go du nyurolɔjik ɛgzam, we go chɛk yu mɔsul dɛn trɛnk, aw yu de fil, ɛn aw yu de riflɛs.

Apat frɔm dat, dɛn kin du dɛn tɛst ya fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt di sik:

• Imej Tɛst dɛn (skan dɛn): .
• MRI skan: Dis na di bεst εn akכrd we fכ fכn spεnal tכmכro. MRI kin mek yu si rili klia pikchɔ dɛn bɔt di spɛshal kɔd, di nɛv dɛn, ɛn di tisu dɛn we de rawnd am.

Wetin na di tritmɛnt dɛn?

Di tritmɛnt plan go difrɛn frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. I dipen pan di kayn, saiz, usay di tumbu de, ɛn yu ɔl yu wɛlbɔdi. Di men gol dɛm fɔ tritmɛnt na fɔ:

Bɔku tɛm, wan tim we gɛt dɔktɔ dɛn we kɔmɔt na difrɛn spɛshal pipul dɛn kin kam togɛda fɔ gɛt tritmɛnt.

Bɔku men we dɛn de fɔ trit pɔsin:

1. Ɔpreshɔn: Ɛnitɛm we i pɔsibul, mɔ if di tumbu de prɛs pan di nerv dɛn, dɛn kin du ɔpreshɔn fɔ pul ɔl ɔ pat pan di tumbu. Sɔm tumbu dɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa kin wɛl if dɛn pul dɛn ɔl. כltu, sכm tכmכro dεm we de insay di spεnal kכd kin at fכ pul kכmplit wan we i nכ de pwεl di nεv dεm.
