Uyazazi yini 'i-Iliac Artery' enika imilenze yethu impilo?

Wake wazibuza ukuthi imilenze nezinqe zakho zithola kanjani igazi, okungukuthi, ukuphila? Uma sihamba, sigijima, futhi sima nje, amandla nomoya-mpilo odingekayo kukho konke lokhu kuthwalwa yigazi. Ngakho-ke, kukhona uhlelo oluyinhloko lwemithambo yegazi oluqhubeka luhlinzeka ngegazi engxenyeni engezansi yomzimba wethu. Sizokhuluma ngakho namuhla. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi 'i-Iliac Artery' noma umthambo we-pelvic kwisayensi yezokwelapha.

Kalula nje, iyini le 'Iliac Artery'?

'Umthambo we-iliac' uyinethiwekhi eyinhloko yemithambo yegazi enikeza igazi engxenyeni engezansi yomzimba wethu, okungukuthi, imilenze, izinqe, indawo ye-pelvic, kanye nesistimu yokuzala. Cabanga ngomthambo wegazi omkhulu kunayo yonke emzimbeni wethu, i-aorta, eqala enhliziyweni, njengepayipi eliyinhloko elivela ethangini elikhulu lamanzi. Lapho leli payipi eliyinhloko lifika esiswini, ikakhulukazi eduze kwenkaba, lihlukana libe amagatsha amabili amakhulu. Lawo magatsha amabili yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi 'imithambo ye-iliac'.

Lezi ziyingxenye yesigaba esibizwa ngokuthi imithambo yegazi engaphandle . Igama elithi 'peripheral' libhekisela emithanjeni yegazi ehambisa igazi ezingxenyeni zomzimba ezikude kancane nenhliziyo. Ngakho-ke le mithambo yegazi engaphakathi ibalulekile empilweni yemilenze yethu.

Yimiphi imisebenzi eyinhloko yalesi simiso semithambo yegazi?

Njengengxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yesimiso sokujikeleza kwegazi somzimba wethu wonke, kunezindawo eziningana ezihlinzekwa kakhulu ngegazi yi-iliac artery.

• Imilenze engezansi: Lokhu kufaka phakathi imilenze yakho, izinyawo, izinqe, izinqe, namathanga. Le mithambo yegazi inikeza umoya-mpilo kanye nezakhamzimba imisipha yakho ezidingayo uma uhamba, ugijima, noma uzivocavoca.
• Imisipha yesisu neyasemhlane: Eminye yemisipha esiswini nasemhlane wethu nayo ithola igazi emagatsheni alesi simiso semithambo yegazi.
• Uhlelo lokuzala: Lokhu kusiza futhi ekuhlinzekeni ngegazi elidingekayo ukuze uhlelo lokuzala lwabesifazane nabesilisa lusebenze kahle.
• Ezinye izitho endaweni ye-pelvic: Umthambo we-iliac uphinde usize ekuhlinzekeni ngegazi ezithweni ezifana nesinye, amathumbu, isibindi kanye ne-pancreas.

Kalula nje, impilo yomzimba wethu ngaphansi kwesinqe cishe incike ngokuphelele empilweni yale mithambo ye-iliac.

Indlela 'umthambo we-iliac' ohlangana ngayo emzimbeni

Njengoba sishilo ngaphambili, i-aorta yesisu ihlukana ibe amagatsha amabili amakhulu. Lawa abizwa ngokuthi umthambo we-common iliac wesokudla kanye nomthambo we-common iliac wesokhohlo .

Le mithambo emibili evamile ye-iliac, ehamba cishe nge-intshi eyodwa phansi komfula, ngayinye ihlukana ibe amagatsha amabili amakhulu. Njengoba nje igatsha elikhulu elivela esiqwini somuthi lihlukana libe amagatsha amabili amancane. Lawa magatsha amabili yilawa:

1. Umthambo We-Iliac Wangaphandle

2. Umthambo Wangaphakathi We-Iliac

Imithambo ngayinye yale mithambo ihlukana ibe amagatsha amancane athwala igazi liye ezithweni nasemisipheni efanele. Ake sibheke lokhu ngemininingwane ethe xaxa.

Yiziphi izifo ezithinta imithambo ye-iliac?

Njengeminye imithambo yegazi emzimbeni wethu, imithambo ye-iliac ingathinteka yizimo ezahlukahlukene. Ezinye zalezi zivamile kakhulu, kanti ezinye azivamile.

• I-atherosclerosis:Lena inkinga evame kakhulu. Kalula nje, izindonga zemithambo yegazi zivaleka ngamafutha, i-cholesterol, nezinye izinto (ezibizwa ngokuthi i-plaque), ezinciphisa futhi ziqinise imithambo yegazi. Kufana nokugqwala okwakhelana ngaphakathi kwepayipi lamanzi, okuvimba ukugeleza kwegazi.

• Isifo Semithambo Engasogwini (i-PAD): I-atherosclerosis yemithambo ye-iliac inciphisa ukugeleza kwegazi emilenzeni nasezinyaweni. Uphawu oluyinhloko ubuhlungu obukhulu emilenzeni, ikakhulukazi endaweni ye-groin, lapho uhamba ibanga elifushane . Lobuhlungu buyaphela ngemva kokuphumula isikhashana. Uma bungelashwa, lesi simo singaholela ekushayweni yisifo sohlangothi, ukuhlaselwa yinhliziyo, futhi kwezinye izimo, ngisho nokunqunywa kwemilenze .

• I-stenosis yemithambo ye-Iliac: Kwabanye abantu, izindonga zemithambo ye-Iliac zingaqina futhi zibe mncane ngenxa yesimo esingavamile esibizwa ngokuthi i-Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD). Le mithambo inamathuba amaningi okuqhekeka (ukuqhekeka) noma ukuba buthaka nokukhukhumala (ama-aneurysms).

• I-May-Thurner syndrome: Lesi futhi yisimo esingavamile. Kulesi simo, umthambo ovamile we-iliac ohlangothini lwesokudla kanye nomthambo ovamile we-iliac ohlangothini lwesobunxele (umthambo othwala igazi ulibuyisele enhliziyweni) kuyacindezelwa emgogodleni. Lokhu kucindezela kwenza kube nzima ukuthi igazi ligeleze emithanjeni yomlenze wesobunxele, okwandisa ingozi yokuqhekeka kwegazi (Deep Vein Thrombosis - DVT) .

Ngakho-ke sizivikela kanjani lezi zitsha zegazi ezibalulekile?

Ngenhlanhla, ukwenza izinguquko ezimbalwa ezilula endleleni yethu yokuphila kungasiza ekuvikeleni impilo yemithambo yethu ye-iliac futhi kunciphise ingozi yokuthuthukisa izimo ezifana ne-PAD.

• Yiba matasa izinsuku eziningi zesonto: Ngisho nokuzivocavoca okulula njengokuhamba imizuzu engama-30 nsuku zonke kungenza umehluko omkhulu. Ukuzivocavoca kuthuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi.
• Landela ukudla okunempilo kwenhliziyo: Nciphisa ukudla okunamafutha amaningi, i-cholesterol, nosawoti. Faka imifino eminingi, izithelo, ubhontshisi, kanye nokolweni ophelele ekudleni kwakho.
• Gwema ukubhema ngokuphelele: Ukubhema kungenye yezitha ezinkulu zale mithambo yegazi. Kulimaza izindonga zemithambo yegazi futhi kusheshise isimo se-"Atherosclerosis". Uma ungayeka ukubhema namuhla, kuzoba yisipho esikhulu kunazo zonke ongazinika sona.
• Gcina isisindo esinempilo: Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile kubeka ingcindezi engadingekile enhliziyweni nasemithanjeni yegazi.
• Lawula ukucindezeleka: Izinto ezifana ne-yoga, ukuzindla, nokukhuluma nomngane kungasiza ekunciphiseni ukucindezeleka.
• Lawula ezinye izimo zezokwelapha:Uma unezimo ezifana nesifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, noma i-cholesterol ephezulu, kubalulekile ukuzilawula kahle ngokweseluleko sezokwelapha.

Ngingayibona nini udokotela?

Uma unesinye noma ngaphezulu kwalezi zimpawu ezilandelayo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukubona udokotela wakho ngokushesha ukuze uthole iseluleko.

• Ubuhlungu lapho uhamba: Ubuhlungu noma ukuqaqamba emilenzeni, emathangeni, noma ezinqeni, ikakhulukazi lapho uhamba ibanga elifushane.
• Ubunzima bokuhamba: Uma unenkinga yokuhamba ngenxa yobuthakathaka noma ukungakhululeki emilenzeni yakho.
• Amanxeba angapholi: Uma amanxeba asemilenzeni noma ezinyaweni ephuza ukuphola noma engapholi nhlobo.
• Ubuhlungu ngisho nalapho uphumule: Njengoba isimo siba sibi kakhulu, ungase uzwe ubuhlungu emilenzeni ngisho nalapho ulele ebusuku.

Udokotela wakho angalinganisa ukuthi igazi lakho ligeleza kahle kangakanani emilenzeni yakho ngezivivinyo ezimbalwa ezilula nezingenabuhlungu (njenge-Ankle-Brachial Index - ABI) ukusiza ekutholeni ukuxilongwa okunembile nokukunikeza ukwelashwa okufanele. Ngakho-ke, ungalokothi uzishaye indiva izimpawu zakho.
