Unethumba elingaphakathi entlokweni yakho? Sukoyika! Masifunde nge-meningioma.

Xa uphathwa yintloko ebuhlungu, usenokuziva usoyika kwaye ukhathazekile, "Owu, ngaba ndinesifo somhlaza ebuchotsheni?" Ayiqhelekanga loo nto? Kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo ekufuneka siyazi kukuba ayizizo zonke iintloko ezibuhlungu kunye neethumba eziyingozi kumhlaza. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngohlobo oluqhelekileyo lwesifo somhlaza olukhula engqondweni, kodwa ludla ngokuba yingozi. Oku sikubiza ngokuba yi-meningioma.

Kalula nje, yintoni i-meningioma?

Khawuthelekelele ukuba ingqondo yethu kunye nomqolo zikhuselwe sisigqubuthelo esincinci esenziwe ngee-membrane ezintathu. Sifana nesigqubuthelo sencwadi. Esi sigqubuthelo yinto esiyibiza ngokuba yi-'meninges' ngokwezonyango. I-meningioma sisimila esikhula kwezo zigqubuthelo.

Into ebalulekileyo kukuba le ayisiyo ithumba elikhula ngaphakathi kwengqondo , kodwa yithumba elikhula kwindawo egqume ubuchopho. Ke ngoko, malunga ne-80% yezi thumba aziyongozi , oko kukuthi, aziyongozi. Zihlala zikhula kancinci kakhulu. Ngamanye amaxesha zinokuba khona iminyaka emininzi ngaphandle kweempawu. Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha, nokuba aziyongozi, xa le thumba ikhula, inokubangela iingxaki ezithile kuba icinezela iindawo ezithile zobuchopho.

Uzihlela njani ezi nati?

IiMeningiomas zahlulwe ngokubanzi zibe ngamanqanaba amathathu ngokwendalo yazo. Ukuqonda oku kuya kukwenza oku kucace ngakumbi kuwe.

Ngubani osengozini enkulu yokuhlaselwa yile meko?

Nangona unobangela ochanekileyo ungekafunyanwa, uphando lufumanise ukuba izinto ezithile zinokunyusa umngcipheko womntu wokuba ne-meningioma.

• Isini: Okumangalisayo kukuba, olu hlobo lwethumba luxhaphake kakhulu kwabasetyhini kunakwamadoda. Abafazi abakwiminyaka ephakathi banamathuba aphindwe kabini okuba nalo kunamadoda.
• IiHormone: Iihomoni zabasetyhini i-estrogen kunye ne-progesterone kukholelwa ukuba zinefuthe ekukhuleni kwezi tumors. Ezi tumors zinokukhula ngokukhawuleza ngexesha lokukhulelwa naxa kuthathwa unyango lokutshintshwa kweehomoni.
• Ukuvezwa kwimitha: Ukuvezwa kwemitha egqithisileyo entloko nasentanyeni, ingakumbi ngexesha lobuntwana, kwandisa umngcipheko.
• Ubudala: Le meko ixhaphake kakhulu kubantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 ubudala.
• Iimeko zofuzo: Abantu abanesifo sofuzo I-Neurofibromatosis uhlobo 2 (NF2) banethuba elimalunga nama-50% lokufumana i-meningioma.
• Ukutyeba kakhulu: Nangona unxibelelwano oluthe ngqo phakathi kokutyeba kakhulu kunye ne-meningioma lungacacanga, uphando oluthile lubonise ukuba la mathumba axhaphake kakhulu kubantu abatyebe kakhulu.

Zithini iimpawu zoku?

Ngenxa yokuba uninzi lwe-meningiomas lukhula kancinci kakhulu, akukho zimpawu kwizigaba zokuqala. Ukuba iimpawu ziyenzeka, zixhomekeke ekubeni ithumba likuphi engqondweni kwaye likhulu kangakanani. Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo ziquka:

• Intloko ebuhlungu ebikho ixesha elide kwaye iyanda kancinci kancinci.
• Ukuxhuzula ngequbuliso.
• Umbono ofipheleyo , umbono ophindwe kabini, okanye umbono onciphileyo.
• Ukuziva ngathi ubuthathaka okanye ubuthathaka kwiingalo okanye emilenzeni.
• Ukurhawuzelela kwezinye iindawo zomzimba.
• Ubunzima bokuthetha .
• Ukukhala ezindlebeni okanye ukulahlekelwa kukuva .
• Iingxaki zememori .

Ukuba unenye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi mpawu, eyona nto ingcono onokuyenza kukungaxhalabi uze udibane nogqirha ngokukhawuleza ukuze akunike icebiso.

Ugqirha uyifumana njani le nto?

Emva kokumamela iimpawu zakho, ugqirha wakho uza kukuxilonga, kwaye ukuba kukho i-meningioma ekrokrelwayo, uyalele ukuba kwenziwe i-brain scan.

1. I-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan: Le yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuxilonga i-meningioma. Ingabonisa ngokucacileyo indawo, ubungakanani, kunye nobukhulu bethumba kunye nempembelelo yalo kwizicwili ezingqongileyo.

2. I-CT (Computed Tomography) Scan: Kwezinye iimeko, i-CT scan ikwasetyenziswa ukongeza kwi-MRI.

3. I-Biopsy: Ngamanye amaxesha, iqhekeza elincinci lethumba liyasuswa ngexesha lotyando lize lithunyelwe kwilebhu ukuqinisekisa ukuba lingumhlaza (iBanga lesi-3) okanye akunjalo.

Iphathwa njani?

Unyango lumiselwa zizinto ezahlukeneyo, kuquka ubungakanani bethumba, ukukhula kwalo ngokukhawuleza, ubudala bakho, kunye nempilo yakho iyonke.

1. Linda Uze Ubukele

Ukuba ithumba lincinci kakhulu, alinazo iimpawu, kwaye alinabungozi (iBanga loku-1), ugqirha wakho uya kukuxelela ukuba ulinde okwethutyana ngaphandle konyango. Ngeli xesha, ii-MRI scans ziya kwenziwa rhoqo ukujonga ukuba ithumba liyakhula na.

2. Ukususwa ngotyando (Utyando)

Ukuba uneempawu, ukuba ithumba likhula ngokukhawuleza, okanye ukuba licinezela inxalenye ebalulekileyo yengqondo yakho, ugqirha wakho unokugqiba ekubeni enze utyando ukuze alisuse. Olu tyando lubizwa ngokuba yi-craniotomy . Oku kuquka ukususa iqhekeza elincinci lethambo ekhayeni lakho, ukususa ithumba elininzi okanye elincinci kangangoko kunokwenzeka, uze ulidibanise kwakhona ithambo. Njengakwezinye iintlobo zotyando, kukho iingozi, ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuxoxa ngale nto nogqirha wakho ngaphambi kokuba wenze isigqibo.

3. Unyango lweMisebe

Unyango lwemitha lusetyenziswa ukuba ithumba likwindawo engenakususwa ngokupheleleyo ngotyando, okanye ukutshabalalisa amaqhekeza amancinci aseleyo emva kotyando. Oku kungayinciphisa ithumba okanye kuyithintele ukuba ingakhuli. Olu nyango lukwasetyenziswa nakwizihlunu ezinomhlaza (iBanga lesi-3).

4. Unyango ngamakhemikhali

I-chemotherapy ayisetyenziswa rhoqo kwi-meningioma, kwaye iqwalaselwa kuphela xa utyando kunye nonyango lwe-radiation lungaphumelelanga.
