Ingabe uhlala uzizwa ukhathele futhi ukhathele? Ingabe wehlisa noma ukhuluphala ngaphandle kwesizathu? Isizathu salezi zinto singase sibe sijule kakhulu kunalokho ocabanga. Kuyinkinga ohlelweni lwe-hormone lomzimba wethu, noma njengoba sisho ngesiNgisi, 'Uhlelo Lwe-Endocrine'. Ake sixoxe ngalokhu namuhla nje.

Iyini i-Endocrine System?

Kalula nje, luhlelo olwakhiwe yiqoqo lezindlala emzimbeni wethu. Lezi zindlala zikhiqiza izithunywa zamakhemikhali ezibizwa ngama-hormone bese ziwakhipha egazini. Lawa ma-hormone alawula imisebenzi eminingi ebalulekile emzimbeni wethu. Cabanga ngakho, lawa ma-hormone asiza ukulawula yonke into kusukela ekuguquleni ukudla esikudlayo kube amandla, kuya ekushayeni kwenhliziyo yethu, ekukhuleni kwamathambo nezicubu, ngisho nekhono lethu lokuba nomntwana.

Ake sibheke izindlala ezinkulu emzimbeni wethu kanye nemisebenzi yazo.

Ngisho noshintsho oluncane ekusebenzeni kwanoma iyiphi yalezi zindlala lungaphazamisa ngokuphelele ibhalansi ebucayi yamahomoni emzimbeni wethu. Yilapho kuvela khona izinkinga ze-endocrine.

Kungani lezi zifo ze-hormone zenzeka?

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko zezimbangela zalezi zifo.

1. Ukungalingani Kwama-hormone: Indlala ekhiqiza ama-hormone amaningi kakhulu noma amancane kakhulu .

2. Izilonda noma izimila ezindlaleni:Izimila noma amaqhubu ezindlala zesistimu ye-endocrine. Lokhu kungase kubangele noma kungadali izinguquko emazingeni ama-hormone.

Umzimba wethu unesimiso sokulawula esimangalisayo. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi 'uhlelo lokuphendula'. Uma i-hormone egazini ikhula noma incipha, lesi simiso sithumela isignali endlaleni efanele ukuze iyilungise. Uma kunenkinga ngalesi simiso, ukungalingani kwama-hormone kungenzeka.

Ezinye izizathu ezingabangela ushintsho emazingeni e-hormone:

• Uhlobo oluthile lokugula.
• Izimbangela zofuzo, okungukuthi, izimo zofuzo ezidluliselwa ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. Isibonelo, "I-Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN)" noma izinkinga ngendlala yegilo ezikhona lapho kuzalwa "I-Congenital Hypothyroidism".
• Izifo.
• Ingozi yendlala.
• Isimila esinomdlavuza noma esingesona umdlavuza esakheka endlaleni.

Esikhathini esiningi, izimila kanye namaqhubu akhula kulezi zindlala akuwona umdlavuza. Kodwa-ke, lesi simila singaphazamisa inqubo yokukhiqizwa kwamahomoni endlala.

Ziyini izimpawu zalezi zifo zama-hormone?

Izimpawu zalezi zifo ziyahlukahluka kakhulu, kuye ngokuthi iyiphi indlala ethintekile. Kodwa-ke, izimpawu ezimbili ezivamile abantu abaningi abanalezi zifo abanazo ukukhathala okuqhubekayo kanye nobuthakathaka.

Nazi ezinye izimpawu okufanele uzixoxe nodokotela wakho:

• Izinguquko ekushayeni kwenhliziyo.
• Ukushintsha kwesikhumba noma kwamehlo (isib., isikhumba esomile, amehlo avuvukele).
• Ngisho nokuwa okuncane kungabangela ukuphuka kwethambo.
• Amazinga kashukela egazini akhuphukile.
• Amazinga e-calcium akhuphukile egazini.
• Ukwehla noma ukwanda komfutho wegazi.
• Izinguquko zesisindo somzimba ngaphandle kwesizathu.
• Ukuncipha kwesifiso sobulili.
• Ukungazali.
• Ukungahambi kahle komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini kwabesifazane.

Izinhlobo ezivamile zezifo ze-hormone

Kunezinhlobo eziningi zezifo zama-hormone. Phakathi kwazo , isifo sikashukela yisona esivame kakhulu eSri Lanka kanye nasemhlabeni jikelele.

Nazi ezinye izinhlobo zezifo:

Izinkinga Ze-thyroid

• I-Hyperthyroidism: Indlala yegilo ikhiqiza ama-hormone amaningi kunalokho okufanele. Lokhu kungabangela ukwehla kwesisindo, ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo, ukujuluka ngokweqile, kanye nokungaphumuli. Isifo sama-Graves siyimbangela enkulu yalokhu.
• I-Hypothyroidism: Indlala ye-thyroid engasebenzi kahle ekhiqiza ama-hormone amancane kakhulu. Lokhu kungabangela izimpawu ezifana nokukhathala, ukuqunjelwa, isikhumba esomile, kanye nokucindezeleka.

Ezinye izimo zezokwelapha ezivamile

• I-Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):Amazinga aphezulu e-hormone i-androgen kwabesifazane angaphazamisa ukukhishwa kwamaqanda kanye nokukhishwa kwamaqanda. Lokhu kuyimbangela enkulu yokungazali. Lesi simo sivame kakhulu kwabesifazane abasebasha eSri Lanka.
• Ukuntuleka Kwezinso: Izindlala ze-adrenal zikhiqiza i-cortisol encane kakhulu. Izimpawu zifaka phakathi ukukhathala, ukuphazamiseka kwesisu, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, kanye nokushintsha kombala wesikhumba. Lolu hlobo lwesifo lubizwa ngokuthi isifo sika-Addison.
• Isifo sikaCushing: Izindlala ze-adrenal ezisebenza ngokweqile ngenxa yokukhiqizwa ngokweqile kwama-hormone yi-pituitary gland.
• Izinkinga zama-hormone okukhula: Uma i-pituitary gland ikhiqiza i-hormone yokukhula eningi kakhulu, umzimba namathambo engane kungakhula ngokushesha okungajwayelekile (i-Gigantism). Uma le hormone iphansi, ubude bengane bungayeka ukukhula.

Ukuxilongwa kanye nokwelashwa

Uma unalezi zimpawu, udokotela womndeni wakho uzokudlulisela kuchwepheshe. Sibiza lowo chwepheshe ngokuthi 'uchwepheshe we-endocrinologist' .

Ukuhlolwa kwegazi nomchamo kungenziwa ukuhlola amazinga akho ama-hormone, kanye nokuhlolwa kwezithombe ukuhlola noma yiziphi izigaxa noma izimila ezindlaleni.

Ukwelapha izinkinga zama-hormone kungaba nzima kancane, njengoba ukushintsha amazinga e-hormone eyodwa kungathinta amazinga enye. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuhlolwa kwegazi njalo njengoba kunqunywe udokotela wakho noma uchwepheshe bese ulungisa uhlelo lwakho lokwelashwa njengoba kudingeka.
