Ingaba amathambo akho aqinile? Masifunde ngovavanyo lwe-DXA Scan!

Njengoko ukhula, amandla omzimba wakho ayancipha, kwaye ngaba uvakalelwa kukuba kufuneka ulumke ngakumbi xa uhamba? Ngamanye amaxesha, nokuba ukuwa okuncinci kunokukhokelela ekwaphukeni kwengalo okanye umlenze. Isizathu esiphambili soku kubuthathaka kwamathambo. Ngoko ke namhlanje sithetha ngendlela enokuchonga ngokuchanekileyo amandla, okanye ubuninzi bamathambo akho. Oko kubizwa ngokuba yi-DXA scan.

Ngamafutshane, yintoni i-DXA scan?

I-DXA scan luvavanyo olukhethekileyo lwe-X-ray olulinganisa amandla amathambo akho. Ukuchaneka, ijonga ubuninzi beeminerali zamathambo akho . I-DXA imele i-`(dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)`. Nangona kunjalo, xa sithetha ngayo, siyibiza nje ngokuthi "i-DXA scan" okanye "uvavanyo lobuninzi bamathambo." Omabini la magama abhekisa kuvavanyo olufanayo.

Yintoni efunyanwa lolu vavanyo?

Ugqirha ukucela ukuba ubhale olu vavanyo ukuze ufumane izinto ezimbalwa ezibalulekileyo.

• Chonga ukuba une-osteoporosis: Oku sikubiza nje ngokuba "kukulahlekelwa ngamathambo." Kule meko, amathambo abuthathaka kakhulu kwaye anokuqhekeka lula.
• Chonga imeko ye-Osteopenia: Oku kuthetha ukuba uxinano lwamathambo akho luphantsi kunesiqhelo, kodwa alubi nzima njenge-osteoporosis. Nangona kunjalo, kwandisa umngcipheko wakho wokuba ne-osteoporosis.
• Jonga umngcipheko wakho wokuphuka kwethambo: Ngokusekelwe kumandla amathambo akho, ugqirha wakho unokufumana umbono wokuba unokuba sengozini kangakanani yokuphuka ithambo nokuba ungawa kancinci.

Ukongeza, olu vavanyo lukwasetyenziselwa ukujonga utshintsho emathanjeni akho ngokuhamba kwexesha. Umzekelo, emva kokuqala unyango lwe-osteoporosis, olu vavanyo lwenziwa rhoqo ukuze kubonwe ukuba iyeza liyawaqinisa na amathambo akho.

Ngubani ofuna i-DXA scan?

Nabani na angalufumana olu vavanyo, kodwa abanye abantu basengozini enkulu yokuba namathambo abuthathaka kunabanye. Ngoko ke, aba bantu kufuneka bahlale benyamekela impilo yamathambo abo.

Abantu abasengozini enkulu:

• Abafazi abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 ubudala.
• Amadoda angaphezu kweminyaka engama-70 ubudala.
• Umntu owaphuka ithambo emva kokuwa kancinci emva kweminyaka engama-50 ubudala.
• Ukuba kukho nabani na kusapho (umama, utata, umakhulu, umakazi) one-osteoporosis.
• Ukuba ngoku umfutshane nge-intshi enye enesiqingatha okanye ngaphezulu kunokuba wawunjalo xa wawusemncinci.

Nokuba ungaphantsi kwale mida yobudala, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa olu vavanyo kwabo basengozini yokuba buthathaka kwamathambo ngenxa yezinye izizathu.

Ezinye izinto ezinobungozi

Ezinye izifo kunye namayeza anokunciphisa amandla amathambo.

• Ezinye izifo ezibangelwa kukuzikhusela komzimba.
• Ukutshaya okanye ukusebenzisa ezinye iimveliso zecuba.
• Ukusela utywala ngokugqithisileyo.
• Ukunqongophala kweVithamin D.
• Ukusetyenziswa ixesha elide kwamayeza afana ne -corticosteroids .
• Amanye amayeza okulwa nomhlaza.
• Ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisa amayeza afana ne -proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), esiwasebenzisayo xa silwa ne-gastritis.
• Amayeza athintela ukujiya kwegazi, anjenge -heparin .

Ukuba unenye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi zinto ziyingozi, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthetha nogqirha wakho uze ubuze ukuba ngaba kufuneka wenze i-DXA scan.

Ungayenza njani le vavanyo? Kulula kakhulu!

Olu luvavanyo olulula kakhulu, olungenazintlungu. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba uhlale esibhedlele. Akukho naliti okanye inaliti.

• Okokuqala, uza kulaliswa ebhedini ngomatshini we-X-ray okhethekileyo.
• Ingcali ye-radiologic iza kukubonisa indlela yokuzibeka kwindawo efanelekileyo. Banokubeka into efana nemiqamelo yefoam phantsi kwemilenze yakho ukuze ikuncede uhlale kwindawo efanelekileyo.
• Emva koko, inxalenye efana nengalo yomatshini wokuskena ihambahamba ibuyela umva phezu komzimba wakho. Kulapho ke kuthathwa khona imifanekiso yamathambo.
• Amaxesha amaninzi, izinqe zakho kunye nomqolo ziyaskenwa kuba ezi zezona ndawo zichaphazeleka kakhulu kukulahlekelwa ngamathambo. Ngamanye amaxesha, amathambo asezandleni zakho anokuskenwa.

Lonke eli qhinga lithatha malunga nemizuzu engama-30 .

Yintoni omele uyenze kwaye ungayiyenzi ngaphambi kovavanyo?

Oku akudingi lungiselelo lungako.

• Ungatya kwaye usele ngokwesiqhelo ngaphambi kovavanyo.
• Ngaphandle kokuba ugqirha wakho ekuxelela ngokuthe ngqo ukuba ungayenzi loo nto, thatha amayeza akho emihla ngemihla njengesiqhelo.
• Nxiba impahla ekhululekileyo nekhululekileyo. Kungcono ukunxiba impahla engenazo izinto zesinyithi ezifana neeziphu, amaqhosha, okanye amabhakethi, njengoko kuya kufuneka ususe yonke into ngesinyithi ngaphambi kovavanyo.
• Okubaluleke kakhulu: Ukuba uthatha iipilisi zecalcium okanye ezinye iivithamini, kufuneka uyeke ukuzithatha iiyure ezingama-24 ngaphambi kovavanyo . Xelela ugqirha wakho ngale nto kwangethuba.

Zithini iziphumo? Masibone!

Ingxelo oyifumanayo emva kokuhlolwa iza kukuxelela ngobunzima bamathambo akho. Oogqirha basebenzisa "i-T score" ukulinganisa oku.Ixabiso elibizwa ngokuba yi. Ngamafutshane, le T-score ithelekisa uxinano lwamathambo akho noxinano lwamathambo lomntu oselula osempilweni (ophakathi kweminyaka engama-20-30).

Kulula kakhulu ukuyiqonda le nto. Makhe sijonge le theyibhile ingezantsi.

Ungakhathazeki ukuba amanqaku akho e-T aphantsi. Ugqirha wakho uza kukunika iingcebiso malunga nendlela yokuqinisa amathambo akho.

• Ukuzilolonga: Izinto ezifana nokuhamba, i-yoga, kunye nokuzilolonga ngokuphakamisa iintsimbi ziqinisa amathambo.
• Ukutya kunye nezongezo: Bakuxelela ukuba utye ukutya okutyebileyo kwi-calcium kunye ne-vitamin D. Banokucebisa nokuba uthathe iipilisi ze-calcium kunye ne-vitamin D.
• Amayeza: Kukho amayeza akhethekileyo anokunciphisa ukulahleka kwamathambo kwaye athintele ukwaphuka kwamathambo. Ugqirha wakho uza kuwanika ukuba kuyimfuneko.

Yintoni umahluko phakathi kwe-DXA scan kunye ne-'Whole-Body Bone Scan'?

Nangona zombini ziintlobo zeeskeni ezihlola amathambo, iinjongo zazo zahlukile ngokupheleleyo.

• I-DXA scan: Oku kujonga kuphela ubuninzi bamathambo . Oku kusetyenziswa ukubona iimeko ezifana ne-osteoporosis.
• Ukuhlolwa Kwamathambo Omzimba Wonke: Oku kudla ngokwenziwa kubantu abanomhlaza. Kusetyenziselwa ukubona ukuba umhlaza usasazeke na emathanjeni. Kukwasetyenziselwa ukubona usulelo emathanjeni.

Ngoko ke musa ukubhidanisa ezi mvavanyo zimbini.
