Isimila esingaphakathi ekhanda lakho? Ungesabi! Ake sifunde nge-meningioma.

Uma uphathwa yikhanda elibuhlungu, ungase uzizwe wesaba futhi ukhathazekile, "O, ingabe nginesimila sobuchopho?" Akuvamile lokho? Kodwa into ebaluleke kakhulu okudingeka siyazi ukuthi akuzona zonke izinhlungu zekhanda nezimila eziyimidlavuza eyingozi. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngohlobo oluvamile lwesimila olukhula ebuchosheni, kodwa ngokuvamile aluyona ingozi. Lokhu sikubiza ngokuthi i-meningioma.

Kalula nje, iyini i-meningioma?

Cabanga ukuthi ubuchopho bethu kanye nomgogodla kuvikelwe yisimbozo esincane esenziwe ngama-membrane amathathu. Kufana nesimbozo sencwadi. Lesi simbozo yilokho esikubiza ngokwezokwelapha ngokuthi 'ama-meninge'. I-meningioma iyisimila esikhula kulezo zimbozo.

Into ebalulekile ukuthi lesi akusona isimila esikhula ngaphakathi kobuchopho , kodwa isimila esikhula esimbozweni esizungeze ubuchopho. Ngakho-ke, cishe u-80% walezi zimila aziyona ingozi , okungukuthi, azinazo izimila eziyingozi. Ngokuvamile zikhula kancane kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi zingaba khona iminyaka eminingi ngaphandle kwezimpawu. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi, noma zingabi yingozi, lapho lesi simila sikhula, singadala izinkinga ezithile ngoba sicindezela izingxenye zobuchopho.

Uzihlukanisa kanjani lezi zinhlobo zamantongomane?

Ama-Meningioma ahlukaniswe kakhulu ngama-grade amathathu ngokusekelwe emvelweni wawo. Ukuqonda lokhu kuzokwenza lokhu kucace kuwe.

Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuthola lesi simo?

Nakuba imbangela eqondile ingakatholakali, ucwaningo luthole ukuthi izici ezithile zingandisa ingozi yomuntu yokuthola i-meningioma.

• Ubulili: Ngokumangalisayo, lolu hlobo lwesimila luvame kakhulu kwabesifazane kunakwabesilisa. Abesifazane abaseminyakeni ephakathi banamathuba aphindwe kabili okuba naso kunabesilisa.
• Ama-hormone: Ama-hormone abesifazane i-estrogen ne-progesterone kukholakala ukuthi anethonya ekukhuleni kwalezi zimila. Lawa ma-tumors angakhula ngokushesha ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa nalapho kuthathwa ukwelashwa kokushintsha ama-hormone.
• Ukuchayeka emisebeni: Ukuchayeka kakhulu ekhanda nasentanyeni, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sobuntwana, kwandisa ingozi.
• Ubudala: Lesi simo sivame kakhulu kubantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65.
• Izimo zofuzo: Abantu abanesifo sofuzo I-Neurofibromatosis uhlobo 2 (NF2) banethuba elingama-50% lokuthuthukisa i-meningioma.
• Ukukhuluphala: Nakuba ukuxhumana okuqondile phakathi kokukhuluphala kanye ne-meningioma kungacacile, ucwaningo oluthile lubonise ukuthi la mathumba avame kakhulu kubantu abakhuluphele.

Ziyini izimpawu zalokhu?

Ngenxa yokuthi ama-meningioma amaningi akhula kancane kakhulu, azikho izimpawu ezigabeni zokuqala. Uma izimpawu zivela, zincike ekutheni isimila sikuphi ebuchosheni nokuthi sikhulu kangakanani. Izimpawu ezivame kakhulu zifaka:

• Ikhanda elibuhlungu elibe khona isikhathi eside futhi elikhula kancane kancane.
• Ukuquleka okungazelelwe.
• Umbono ofiphele , umbono ophindwe kabili, noma umbono onciphile.
• Ukuzwa sengathi ubuthakathaka noma ubuthakathaka ezingalweni noma emilenzeni.
• Ukuqaqamba kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba.
• Ubunzima bokukhuluma .
• Ukukhala ezindlebeni noma ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa .
• Izinkinga zememori .

Uma unesinye noma ngaphezulu salezi zimpawu, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukungesabi bese ubona udokotela ngokushesha ukuze akunike iseluleko.

Udokotela ukuthola kanjani lokhu?

Ngemva kokulalela izimpawu zakho, udokotela wakho uzokuxilonga, futhi uma kusolwa ukuthi une-meningioma, cela ukuthi kwenziwe ukuhlolwa kobuchopho.

1. I-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan: Lena yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuxilonga i-meningioma. Ingabonisa ngokucacile indawo, ubukhulu, kanye nobukhulu besimila kanye nomthelela waso ezicutshini ezizungezile.

2. I-CT (Computed Tomography) Scan: Kwezinye izimo, i-CT scan nayo isetshenziswa ngaphezu kwe-MRI.

3. I-Biopsy: Ngezinye izikhathi, ingxenye encane yesimila iyasuswa ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa bese ithunyelwa elabhorethri ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ingumdlavuza (iBanga lesi-3) noma cha.

Iphathwa kanjani?

Ukwelashwa kunqunywa yizici eziningana, okuhlanganisa ubukhulu besimila, ukuthi sikhula ngokushesha kangakanani, ubudala bakho, kanye nempilo yakho iyonke.

1. Linda Uqaphele

Uma isimila sisincane kakhulu, singenazo izimpawu, futhi singeyona ingozi (Ibanga 1), udokotela wakho uzokutshela ukuthi ulinde isikhashana ngaphandle kokwelashwa. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, ukuhlolwa kwe-MRI kuzokwenziwa ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze kuqashwe ukuthi isimila siyakhula yini.

2. Ukususwa ngokuhlinzwa (Ukuhlinzwa)

Uma unezimpawu, uma isimila sikhula ngokushesha, noma uma sicindezela ingxenye ebalulekile yobuchopho bakho, udokotela wakho angase anqume ukwenza ukuhlinzwa ukuze asisuse. Ukuhlinzwa kubizwa ngokuthi i-craniotomy . Lokhu kuhilela ukususa ingxenye encane yethambo ekhanda lakho, ukususa isimila esiningi noma esincane ngangokunokwenzeka, bese unamathisela ithambo kabusha. Njenganoma yikuphi ukuhlinzwa, kunezingozi, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuxoxa ngalokhu nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo.

3. Ukwelashwa Ngemisebe

Ukwelashwa ngemisebe kusetshenziswa uma isimila sisendaweni engenakususwa ngokuphelele ngokuhlinzwa, noma ukubhubhisa izingcezu ezincane ezisele ngemva kokuhlinzwa. Lokhu kunganciphisa isimila noma kusiyekise ukukhula. Lokhu kwelashwa kusetshenziselwa nezimila ezinomdlavuza (iBanga lesi-3).

4. Ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali

Ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali akuvamile ukusetshenziswa kwe-meningioma, futhi kucatshangelwa kuphela uma ukuhlinzwa kanye nokwelashwa ngemisebe kwehlulekile.
