Ingabe uzwa ubuhlungu emahlombe? Ake sixoxe nge-X-ray emahlombe?

Ingabe ihlombe lakho libuhlungu kancane? Noma ukuthola kunzima ukuphakamisa noma ukuzungezisa ingalo yakho? Ngezikhathi ezinjalo, enye yezinto odokotela bethu abazishoyo ukuthatha i-X-ray yehlombe lakho. Ngakho-ke, kubantu abaningi, ukukhulunywa ngale X-ray kungenza babe nelukuluku lokwazi, futhi mhlawumbe ngisho nokwesaba kancane. Ngakho-ke namuhla, sizokhuluma ngale X-ray yehlombe ngendlela elula ongayiqonda.

Iyini i-X-ray yamahlombe? Isebenza kanjani?

Kalula nje, i-X-ray yamahlombe iyisivivinyo esithatha izithombe zangaphakathi kwehlombe lakho, ikakhulukazi amathambo. Ngezinye izikhathi odokotela babiza lokhu ngokuthi ama-radiograph. Akuyona into enkulu, kulula kakhulu.

Manje ake sibone ukuthi lokhu kusebenza kanjani.

Umshini we-X-ray uthumela inani elincane lamaza kagesi, noma imisebe nje, emizimbeni yethu. Lawa maza adlula emzimbeni futhi aqoshwa njengesithombe efilimini ekhethekile noma enzwa yedijithali. Njengezithombe ezisefilimini yamakhamera esikhathini esidlule. Kodwa lesi isithombe salokho okungaphakathi emzimbeni.

Cishe usubonile isithombe se-X-ray. Lo msebe awukwazi ukudlula ezintweni eziqinile njengethambo kalula. Yingakho ithambo libonakala limhlophe esithombeni. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umsebe udlula ezicutshini ezithambile njengemisipha nemisipha ngezinga elithile, zibonakala zimpunga noma zimnyama. Udokotela uvame ukuthatha izithombe eziningana zehlombe, ohlangothini ngalunye, isandla sakhe sisendaweni ngayinye. Yilapho engakwazi khona ukubheka kahle isimo sonke sehlombe.

Cabanga nje, ngezinye izikhathi kunenkinga ngehlombe, kodwa kunzima ukuyixilonga nge-X-ray kuphela. Uma kunjalo, udokotela angase acele ezinye izivivinyo ezingathatha izithombe ezinemininingwane eminingi. Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• I-CT scan (CT - I-Computed Tomography scan). Lokhu kungathatha izithombe ezicacile nezinqamulelayo.
• Ukuhlolwa kwe-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi ubone izicubu ezithambile, njengemisipha kanye nemisipha, ngokucacile.
• Ukuskena nge-ultrasound. Lokhu kusetshenziselwa futhi ukubheka izicubu ezithambile.

Kodwa isikhathi esiningi, into yokuqala okufanele uyenze i-X-ray, ngoba kulula, kuyashesha, futhi akubizi kakhulu.

Ake sifunde kancane ngokwakheka kwamahlombe ethu.

Ihlombe lethu liyilunga elingavamile kakhulu. Liyilunga elisivumela ukuthi sihambe ngezindlela eziningi kunanoma yiliphi elinye ilunga emzimbeni. Lifana nelunga eliyibhola nesokhethi, njengendebe ejikeleza endaweni eyodwa. (Isakhiwo yisakhiwo).

I-X-ray yehlombe eliphilile ikhombisa ngokusobala amathambo ayinhloko akha leli lunga. Ake sibheke ukuthi ayini:

• I-humerus: Leli yithambo elide kunawo wonke engalweni yethu engenhla.
• I-Scapula: Eyaziwa nangokuthi i-shoulder blade, yilapho ithambo le-humerus lixhuma khona.
• I-Acromion: Lokhu kufana nengxenye yethambo ephuma ethanjeni le-scapula.
• I-Clavicle: Ebizwa nangokuthi i-collarbone, leli thambo lixhuma kwi-acromion.
• Inqubo ye-Coracoid: Lokhu futhi kuyingcezu yethambo efana ne-hook ephuma ethanjeni le-scapula.

Uma udokotela ebheka i-X-ray, uhlola ngokucophelela usayizi, indawo, kanye nesimo sethambo ngalinye. Ukuphuka kwamathambo (sikubiza ngokuthi "ukuqhekeka"), ukufakwa kwe-calcium emathanjeni (``ukwakheka kwe-calcifications''), ngisho nezinhlobo ezithile ze-``ama-tumors'' kungatholakala ku-X-ray.

Kodwa kukhona into eyodwa okufanele uyikhumbule. Izinto ezifana ne-cartilage (izicubu ezithambile phakathi kwamathambo), imisipha, imizwa, kanye nemisipha azibonakali ngqo ku-X-ray. Kodwa-ke, indlela amathambo abekwe ngayo kanye nesimo sawo kungatshela udokotela wakho okuningi ngempilo yehlombe lakho. Isibonelo, uma isikhala esiphakathi kwamathambo amabili sinciphile, kungabonisa ukuthi i-cartilage isigugile.

Udinga nini i-X-ray yamahlombe?

Uma unenkinga yokunyakaza noma ukuphakamisa ihlombe lakho ngendlela efanele, udokotela wakho angase akucele ukuthi uhlolwe i-X-ray ehlombe. I-X-ray iyindlela yokuhlola izithombe evame kakhulu esetshenziswa odokotela ngoba ayibuhlungu, ayihlaseli, futhi ingenziwa cishe noma kuphi .

Ungadinga i-X-ray yamahlombe ukuze uhlole izimo ezahlukene zamahlombe, njenge:

• I-Arthritis: Ukuvuvukala kwamalunga, okusho ukuvuvukala nobuhlungu emalungeni.
• Izimila zamathambo ezingembi: Lezi akuzona umdlavuza.
• Umdlavuza wamathambo: Lokhu kubi kakhulu, kodwa kungelashwa uma kutholakala kusenesikhathi.
• Ukuphuka kwamahlombe: Uma ithambo ehlombe liphukile ngenxa yokuwa noma ingozi.
• I-Bursitis: Ukuvuvukala kwezikhwama ezincane ezigcwele uketshezi ezibizwa ngokuthi i-bursae esihlanganisini samahlombe.
• Ihlombe eliphumile: Ithambo elisusiwe esigxotsheni sehlombe.
• Izinkinga ngokuhleleka kwehlombe: Lapho amathambo engahlelekile kahle.
• Ukwakheka kwe-Rotator cuff: Ukufakwa kwe-calcium emithanjeni ye-rotator cuff ehlombe.
• Ukudabuka kwe-Rotator cuff: Lokhu kudabuka emsipha.

Cabanga uwela ngenkathi udlala ikhilikithi bese ulimala ehlombe lakho. Uma ubuhlungu bungapheli ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, futhi unenkinga yokuphakamisa ingalo yakho, udokotela uzokuyala ngokuqinisekile ukuthi kwenziwe i-X-ray ukuze athole ukuthi ithambo liphukile yini.

Ubani owenza le X-ray yamahlombe?

I-X-ray yamahlombe yenziwa uchwepheshe we-radiologic, noma uchwepheshe we-X-ray nje. Ingase futhi yenziwe umsizi we-radiologist (RA). Laba ngabantu abathole ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile kokuthi bangayisebenzisa kanjani imishini ye-X-ray.

Ngemva kokuba uchwepheshe noma uchwepheshe ethathe izithombe zakho ze-X-ray, udokotela we-radiologist – udokotela oqeqeshwe ngokukhethekile ekuthatheni izithombe zezokwelapha – uzobuyekeza izithombe. Angase ancome ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe noma enze ukuxilongwa. Ngokuvamile, udokotela we-radiologist uzothumela umbiko wakhe kudokotela o-ode i-X-ray. Lowo dokotela uzobe esekuchazela imiphumela.

Ingabe kukhona ukulungiswa okukhethekile ngaphambi kokuhlolwa kwe-X-ray?

Cha, i-X-ray yamahlombe ngokuvamile ayidingi ukulungiswa okukhethekile. Akukho mingcele ekudleni noma ekuphuzeni. Ungadla futhi uphuze ngendlela evamile.

Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu, udinga ukususa noma yiziphi izinto zensimbi ezingase ziphazamise izithombe, njengobucwebe, ubucwebe bomzimba, izibuko, kanye nezikhonkwane zezinwele, ngoba izinto zensimbi zingathinta ukucaca kwesithombe se-X-ray.

Enye into ebalulekile ukuthi uma ukhulelwe, noma unesinsolo esincane sokuthi ungase ukhulelwe, kufanele nakanjani utshele udokotela noma uchwepheshe ngaphambi kokuthatha i-X-ray. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, akunjalo?

Yini okufanele ngiyilindele lapho ngithatha i-X-ray?

Ukuthola i-X-ray ehlombe akubangeli ubuhlungu nhlobo. Kuthatha imizuzu embalwa nje. Lezi yizinyathelo ezivame ukulandela:

• Othile esikhungweni se-X-ray uzokuhambisa ekamelweni lokushintsha. Kuzodingeka ukhumule kusukela okhalweni kuye phansi bese ugqoka ingubo yasesibhedlela azokunikeza yona.
• Bese uya egumbini le-X-ray nochwepheshe.
• Ngesikhathi umile noma uhleli esihlalweni, uchwepheshe uzobeka ihlombe lakho kahle eduze komshini we-X-ray. Bangase babeke ipuleti le-X-ray ngaphansi kwehlombe lakho.
• Uchwepheshe uzokucela ukuthi uhlale uthule isikhashana ngenkathi umshini uthatha izithombe. Bangase bakucele ukuthi ubambe umoya wakho isikhashana , noma bakucele ukuthi uphendule amahlombe akho ngezindlela ezahlukene. Konke lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthola isithombe esicacile ngangokunokwenzeka.

Akukho okufanele ukwesabe. Uchwepheshe uzochaza konke kuwe.

Ngemva kokuthatha i-X-ray?

Ngemva kokuthathwa kwe-X-ray yakho, uchwepheshe uzohlola ukuqinisekisa ukuthi icacile. Uma ezinye zezithombe zibonakala zingacacile, kungadingeka zithathe eyodwa noma ezimbili ezengeziwe. Lokhu kuvamile.

Ngemva kokuthathwa kwezithombe, uzobuyela ekamelweni lokushintsha, ugqoke izingubo zakho, ukhumule noma yibuphi ubucwebe, bese ugqoka izibuko zakho. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngaphandle kokuba udokotela ekuyalele ngenye indlela, ungaqhubeka nemisebenzi yakho evamile.

Ingabe zikhona izingozi kulokhu? (Izingozi ze-X-ray)

Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwe-X-ray, umzimba wakho uvezwa inani elincane kakhulu lemisebe . Sizwile ukuthi ukuvezwa inani elikhulu lemisebe isikhathi eside kungalimaza izicubu futhi kubangele izimo ezifana nomdlavuza.

Kodwa-ke, imishini ye-X-ray esetshenziswa njengamanje ikhipha imithamo ephansi kakhulu yemisebe. Ngokuvamile, izinzuzo zokuxilonga isifo ngokunembile nokuqala ukwelashwa zidlula kakhulu le ngozi encane yemisebe. Ngakho-ke ungesabi ngokungadingekile.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthi wena nodokotela wakho nivumelane ngokuthi le X-ray iyadingeka empilweni yakho. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi kungani ngiyidinga le X-ray, ungalokothi unqikaze ukubuza udokotela wakho.

Izingane ezincane kanye nezingane ezisakhula zizwela kakhulu emisebeni ye-X-ray. Ngakho-ke, uma ingane yakho idinga i-X-ray, khuluma nodokotela wakho mayelana nezinketho zomthamo ophansi noma ezinye izivivinyo ezingezona ezemisebe (njenge-ultrasound). Uma ukhulelwe, khuluma nodokotela wakho mayelana nezinzuzo kanye nokubi kokwenza i-X-ray.

Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukwazi imiphumela?

Uma udokotela wakho e-ode i-X-ray “njengephuthumayo”, ungathola imiphumela ngemizuzu embalwa. Kodwa-ke, uma ukuhlolwa kungaphuthumi, kungathatha izinsuku ezimbalwa ukuthola imiphumela. Udokotela o-ode i-X-ray uzokhuluma nawe ngemiphumela.

Ingabe ngidinga ukubona udokotela futhi?

Kufanele ubone udokotela futhi kulezi zimo:

• Uma sekuphele cishe isonto kusukela wahlolwa i-X-ray futhi ungakayitholi imiphumela.
• Uma usuqalile ukuzwa izimpawu ezintsha, isibonelo, ubuhlungu obukhulu behlombe.

Ungakhohlwa, wazi umzimba wakho kanye nempilo yakho kangcono. Uma uzizwa noma yiziphi izinguquko noma ukungakhululeki, khuluma nodokotela.

Ngakho-ke, yini okufanele siyikhumbule kulokhu? (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Kulungile, ngakho-ke i-X-ray yamahlombe iyindlela ephephile kakhulu futhi ephumelelayo yokuxilonga izimo ezithile ehlombe, ikakhulukazi izinkinga zamathambo. Uma udokotela wakho encoma lokhu kuhlolwa, buza imibuzo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uyaqonda ukuthi kungani.

Lokhu kuhlolwa kuyashesha, akuhlaseli, futhi kungakunikeza ulwazi oluningi olubalulekile mayelana nempilo yakho . Ngakho-ke, ungesabi, bese ulandela imiyalelo kadokotela wakho. Ngikufisela ukululama okusheshayo!
