Uma kukhulunywa ngempilo yocansi, igama elithi "ikhondomu" livela njalo. Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi abantu bazizwa bengakhululekile noma benamahloni lapho bekhuluma ngakho obala noma bebathatha ekhemisi. Eqinisweni, lokhu akusikho okufanele ukhathazeke ngakho. Amakhondomu angenye yezindlela ezilula nezisebenzayo zokuvimbela ukukhulelwa okungahlosiwe nokuzivikela ezifweni ezithathelwana ngocansi (ama-STI). Namuhla, ake sixoxe ngakho konke okuhlobene nalokhu ngaphandle kokugodla lutho, njengokungathi ukhuluma nomngane wakho omkhulu.
Kalula nje, iyini ikhondomu?
Ikhondomu iwumgoqo omncane, onwebekayo osebenza njengesivikelo esibonakalayo phakathi kwemizimba emibili ngesikhathi socansi. Inciphisa ukushintshana koketshezi lomzimba, futhi ngezinga elithile, ukuthintana kwesikhumba nesikhumba. Ngenxa yalesi sivikelo, ivimbela ukudluliselwa kwamagciwane namabhaktheriya abangela izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokuvimbela isidoda ukuthi singangeni emgodini wesitho sangasese sowesifazane, kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuvimbela ukukhulelwa okungahlosiwe .
Uma uhlanganyela ocansini, ukusebenzisa amakhondomu njalo kungenye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokugcina impilo yocansi ephephile . Ungawathenga kalula kunoma iyiphi ikhemisi noma esitolo esikhulu.
Yiziphi izinzuzo nezingozi zokusebenzisa amakhondomu?
Amakhondomu ayindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuvimbela izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi kanye nokukhulelwa. Uma esetshenziswa kahle, asebenza kahle ngaphezu kuka-90%. Ahle kakhulu ekuhlinzekeni ngokuvikela ku:
Kodwa-ke, njenganoma yini, kunezingozi ezithile. Nakuba ikhondomu yehlisa kakhulu ingozi yakho, ayikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okungu-100% ngoba ingase ingambozi yonke indawo yakho yokuzala. Ngakho-ke, ezinye izifo ezidluliselwa ngokuxhumana kwesikhumba nesikhumba zisengenzeka. Izibonelo zifaka:
- I-herpes yesitho sangasese
- Amaqhubu esitho sangasese
- I-Syphilis
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amakhondomu ngezinye izikhathi angaphuka, adabuke, noma ashelele . Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ingozi yokukhulelwa noma yokudluliselwa kwezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi iyanda.
Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukusebenzisa ikhondomu ngendlela efanele ukuze unciphise lezi zingozi.
Ezinye izinkinga ezingaba khona zifaka:
- Ukungezwani komzimba ne-latex: Abanye abantu bangase babe nokusabela kokungezwani komzimba ne-latex esetshenziswa kumakhondomu amaningi.
- Ukucasuka okuvela ezintweni ezithile zokugcoba: Amakhondomu aqukethe imithi yokubulala isidoda angabangelaizifo zomgudu womchamo (UTIs) noma ukulunywa nokucasuka kwezitho zangasese kwabanye abantu.
Yiziphi izizathu ezivamile zokungasebenzi kahle kwamakhondomu?
Esikhathini esiningi, ukwehluleka kwekhondomu kubangelwa amaphutha abantu—okusho iphutha endleleni esetshenziswe ngayo. Zibuze ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini kulezi zingibe ezivamile ezike zakwehlela:
- Ukusetshenziswa okungalungile: Ukungazi ukuthi kufanele kufakwe kanjani kahle kuyimbangela ehamba phambili.
- Umonakalo ovela ezintweni ezibukhali: Izinzipho ezinde, amasongo, noma ubucwebe kungabangela ukudabuka okuncane kukhondomu.
- Ukuntuleka kokugcoba: Ukugcoba okunganele kungandisa ukungqubuzana, okuholela ekuqhekekeni.
- Ukusebenzisa amakhondomu angaphezu kwelilodwa ngesikhathi: Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi ukugqoka amakhondomu amabili kunikeza isivikelo esengeziwe. Lokhu akulungile; empeleni kwandisa ukungqubuzana futhi kwenza womabili abe namathuba amaningi okudabuka.
- Ukulibazisa ukusebenzisa: Ukufaka ikhondomu ngemva kokuba ukuxhumana ngokocansi sekuqalile kuyawuqeda umsebenzi. Njalo sebenzisa kusukela ekuqaleni.
- Phinda Usebenzise: Ungalokothi uphinde usebenzise ikhondomu. Ikhondomu ngayinye kufanele isetshenziswe kanye kuphela.
- Ukusebenzisa amakhondomu aphelelwe yisikhathi: Ikhondomu ngayinye inosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi. Ungalokothi usebenzise eselidlulile lolu suku.
- Ukungalingani kahle: Ukusebenzisa amakhondomu aqine kakhulu noma akhululekile kakhulu kungabangela ukuthi ashelele noma adabuke.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zamakhondomu ezitholakalayo?
Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zamakhondomu ezitholakalayo. Ungakhetha elifanelana kahle nawe nomlingani wakho.
| Uhlobo lwekhondomu | Incazelo |
|---|---|
| Amakhondomu Angaphandle (Abesilisa) | Lezi yizinhlobo ezivame ukusetshenziswa, ezenzelwe ukugqokwa phezu kwepenisi. |
| Amakhondomu Angaphakathi (Abesifazane) | Lezi zifakwa esithweni sangasese sowesifazane. Zinendandatho egobekayo ekugcineni okuvaliwe ukuze zihlale endaweni yazo futhi zenze kube lula ukuzikhipha ngemva kocansi. |
| Amadamu Amazinyo | Lawa amashidi amancane enziwe nge-latex noma i-polyurethane, asetshenziswa njengesivikelo phakathi komlomo nendawo yesitho sangasese noma sendunu ngesikhathi socansi lomlomo. |
| Amabhedi eminwe | Izimbozo ezincane, ezifana nesigqoko seminwe yakho, ezihlinzeka ngesivikelo ngesikhathi sokuvuselelwa kwedijithali. |
Amakhondomu enziwe ngani?
Amakhondomu akhiqizwa kakhulu ngezinhlobo ezintathu zezinto zokwakha:
1. I-Latex: Ukukhetha okuvame kakhulu. Isebenza kahle kakhulu ekulweni nokukhulelwa okungahlosiwe kanye nezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi. Kodwa-ke, gwema ukusebenzisa amafutha agcotshwe ngamafutha ngoba angabangela ukuthi i-latex iphuke futhi idabuke.
2. Ipulasitiki (engeyona i-latex):Kwenziwe ngezinto ezifana ne-polyurethane noma i-polyisoprene. Lezi ezinye izindlela ezinhle kakhulu uma une-allergy ye-latex.
3. Isikhumba Semvelo (Isikhumba Semvu): Lezi zenziwe ngama-membrane emvelo. Nakuba zisebenza kahle ekukhulelweni, azivikeli ezifweni zocansi ngoba ziqukethe izikhala ezincane ezingavumela amagciwane ukuba adlule. Asizincomi ukuze kuvinjelwe izifo zocansi.
Indlela yokusebenzisa ikhondomu ngendlela efanele
Ukuze uvikeleke kakhulu, kufanele ufake ikhondomu ngaphambi kokuba kube nokuxhumana kwezitho zangasese. Landela lezi zinyathelo:
1. Hlola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi: Qinisekisa njalo usuku olusephaketheni. Ungalokothi usebenzise ikhondomu ephelelwe yisikhathi.
2. Vula iphakethe ngokucophelela: Ungasebenzisi amazinyo akho noma izinzipho ezibukhali. Sebenzisa i-notch yokudabuka ukuvula iphakethe ngobumnene.
3. Hlola ukuma: Qinisekisa ukuthi umugqa ungaphandle ukuze ukwazi ukugoqwa kalula.
4. Faka ngendlela efanele: Yibeke ekhanda lepenisi elimile. Shiya isikhala esingangengxenye yesentimitha esiqongweni ukuze kuqoqwe isidoda.
5. Susa umoya: Cindezela isihloko ukuze ususe noma yimuphi umoya ovalelekile.
6. Yigoqe phansi: Yelula ikhondomu iye phansi esisekelweni sepenisi. Uma ingagoqeki phansi, ingaphakathi layo lingaphandle; yilahle bese uqala ngentsha.
7. Ukususa: Ngemva kokukhipha isisu futhi ngesikhathi ubulili busamile, bamba isisekelo sekhondomu ngokuqinile bese uyikhipha. Susa ikhondomu ngokucophelela, bopha ifindo, uyisonge ngethishu, bese uyilahla emgqonyeni kadoti. Ungalokothi uyikhiphe endlini yangasese.
Kuthiwani uma ikhondomu iphuka?
Uma lokhu kwenzeka, hlala uzolile; kunezinyathelo ongazithatha.
- Uma ukhathazekile ngokukhulelwa: Imithi yokuvimbela inzalo ephuthumayo ("iphilisi lasekuseni-ngemuva kokukhulelwa") iyatholakala. Isebenza kahle kakhulu uma ithathwa zingakapheli amahora angu-72 kusukela ocansini. Sicela uxhumane nodokotela wakho noma uvakashele umtholampilo wendawo ngokushesha ukuze uxoxe ngale ndlela.
- Uma ukhathazekile ngezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi: Kubalulekile ukuvakashela udokotela wakho noma emtholampilo wezempilo yocansi ukuze uhlolwe, ikakhulukazi i-HIV nezinye izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi.
Ungalokothi ufake amakhondomu ezintweni zasekhaya ezifana namabhaluni, izikhwama zepulasitiki, noma amagilavu. Azisebenzi futhi zingabangela ukulimala okukhulu.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- Uma uhlanganyela ocansini, amakhondomu ayindlela ephumelela kakhulu futhi efinyelelekayo yokuzivikela ekukhulelweni okungahlosiwe kanye nezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi.
- Sebenzisa ikhondomu ngendlela efanele ngaso sonke isikhathi, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni.
- Hlola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi ngaphambi kokusebenzisa ngakunye.
- Gcina amakhondomu endaweni epholile, eyomile kude nokukhanya kwelanga okuqondile. Gwema ukuwagcina esikhwameni sakho semali, ngoba ukungqubuzana nokushisa kungabangela umonakalo.
- Uma kwenzeka ukwehluleka, hlala uzolile bese uthintana nochwepheshe wezempilo noma uvakashele umnyango wezimo eziphuthumayo ngokushesha.
- Uma unesithakazelo kwezinye izinhlobo zokuvimbela inzalo (isib. amaphilisi, ama-IUD), xoxa ngalezi zinketho nodokotela wakho.
