Ingabe amafinyila mabi njengoba ucabanga? Ake sifunde i-AZ ngakho!

Uma ucabanga "nge-mucus," cishe ucabanga ngezinto ezifana nekhala elicijile kanye ne-mucus ejiyile ebhajwa emphinjeni wakho, akunjalo? Ungase ucabange nge-mucus njengento nje ephazamisayo, into edinga ukusulwa emzimbeni wakho ngokushesha okukhulu. Kodwa, bewazi ukuthi le-mucus empeleni iyingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu, efana ne-superhero yokuzivikela kwemizimba yethu? Ake sixoxe ngale-mucus namuhla, akunjalo?

Kuyini ngempela i-mucus?

Kalula nje, i-mucus iwuketshezi olujiyile, olushelelayo olutholakala emizimbeni yethu. Lufana nejeli. Lumboza uhlelo lwethu lokuphefumula (okungukuthi impumulo, umphimbo, amaphaphu), uhlelo lokugaya ukudla (okungukuthi amathumbu), uhlelo lomchamo, kanye nohlelo lokuzala.

Cabanga ngakho njengesivikelo esingaphakathi emzimbeni wethu. Lesi sivikelo sivimba amagciwane ayingozi (amagciwane) ukuthi angangeni emzimbeni. Siphinde sisize imizimba yethu ukuthi imunce izinto ezinhle esizidingayo, njengomoya-mpilo nezakhamzimba. Enye into ukuthi i-mucus igcina izitho zomzimba wethu zimanzi futhi zishelela. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu.

Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wezwa nge-phlegm njenge-"phlegm/sputum." Sivame ukucabanga nge-phlegm uma sinekhala eligobhozayo noma umphimbo ovalekile. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, i-phlegm iyingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yesimiso sethu somzimba sokuzivikela . Ihlala ilwa ukuze isivikele ezifweni.

Iyiphi inkonzo enikezwa yi-mucus emizimbeni yethu?

Manje cishe uyaqonda ukuthi i-mucus akuyona into nje. Bheka ukuthi i-mucus yenzani emizimbeni yethu:

• Kuvimba amagciwane nezinto eziyingozi: I-mucus ivimbela izinto eziyingozi njengamagciwane nothuli ukuthi zingangeni emizimbeni yethu, njengomlindi wesango.
• Inqolobane yama-antibodies: I-Mucus iqukethe uhlobo olukhethekile lweprotheni olubizwa ngokuthi "ama-Antibodies." Lawa avimba amagciwane angena emzimbeni futhi awabone kumaseli omzimba ukuze awabhubhise.
• Ibamba futhi ikhiphe izinto eziyingozi: Zicabange uhamba emgwaqweni onothuli. Bese kuthi izinhlayiya zothuli ezingena ekhaleni lakho zibhajwe kulo mucus, bese ziphuma ekhaleni lakho ngokushesha. Ngendlela efanayo, umucus usisiza ukuthi sibambe futhi sikhiphe izinto eziyingozi emzimbeni wethu.
• Ifumisa i-Mucosa: I-Mucus isiza ukugcina ulwelwesi oluthambile ( i-mucosal) oluvulekela ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu (njengekhala nomlomo) lumanzi.
• Kwenza ulwelwesi lwamafinyila lushelele: Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Isibonelo, ukudla esikudlayo kuhamba kalula emathunjini ngenxa yokwenyuka kwalolu hlobo lwamafinyila. Ngokufanayo, ohlelweni lokuzala lwabesifazane, ulwelwesi lwesibeletho lusiza ekulungiseleleni indlela yokuba isidoda sifinyelele eqandeni.

Lo mucus wakheka kanjani? Uvelaphi?

Ucabanga ukuthi le mucus ivelaphi? Le mucus yenziwa uhlobo olukhethekile lweseli kulwelwesi lwethu lwe-mucous `(Mucosa). Abizwa ngokuthi `(amaseli e-Goblet)`. Lawa maseli abizwa kanjalo ngoba akhiwe njengengilazi encane. Lawa maseli kanye namanye amaseli ayahlangana ukuze enze `(Mucin)`, okuyingxenye eyinhloko ye-mucus.

Lo mucus utholakala kulezi zindawo emzimbeni wethu:

• Izitho zokuzwa: amehlo, izindlebe, umlomo, ikhala.
• Uhlelo lokuphefumula: amaphaphu, i-trachea.
• Uhlelo lokugaya ukudla: isisu, amathumbu.
• Uhlelo lomchamo: isinyi, i-urethra.
• Uhlelo lokuzala lwabesifazane.
• Uhlelo lokuzala lwabesilisa.

Yini ngempela equkethwe yi-mucus?

Izinto eziku-mucus yizo ezenza kube nokuthungwa okujiyile nokushelelayo, futhi zisisize ekuvikeleni amagciwane. Ake sibheke ukuthi yini eku-mucus:

• Amanzi: I-mucus ikakhulukazi amanzi.
• Ama-electrolyte: Usawoti odingekayo ukuze umzimba usebenze.
• Ama-enzyme: Ama-enzyme asiza ekubhubhiseni amagciwane.
• Ama-antibodies (ama-Immunoglobulins): Amaprotheni alwa namagciwane.
• Amangqamuzana amhlophe egazi: Lawa ngamasosha asemzimbeni wethu. Alwa namagciwane.
• I-Mucin: Lolu uhlobo olukhethekile lweprotheni. Yile mucin enikeza i-mucus ukuqina kwayo okufana nejeli.

Ngokuvamile i-mucus ibukeka kanjani? Ingabe iyashintsha umbala?

Ngokuvamile, i-mucus yomuntu ophilile icacile, igeleza kancane, futhi iyashelela. Kodwa uma unesifo somkhuhlane noma isifo esifana ne-sinusitis, i-mucus ephuma ekhaleni nasemphinjeni ingaba nkulu, inamathele, futhi ibe nombala omhlophe okhilimu.

Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani i-mucus ingashintsha umbala. Izinto ezifana namaseli afile, amagciwane, kanye nentuthu kagwayi zingashintsha umbala uma ziqongelela ku-mucus. Nakhu okushiwo yile mibala:

• Okumhlophe, ukhilimu, noma okuphuzi okukhanyayo: Uma i-mucus yakho ijiyile futhi lo mbala, kusho ukuthi ulwa nomkhuhlane noma olunye ukutheleleka ngegciwane. Lo mbala kanye nokuvumelana kwenzeka lapho amasosha omzimba wakho elwa namagciwane.
• Okuphuzi okukhanyayo noma okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka: Lokhu kuvame ukuba uphawu lokutheleleka. Kuye ngezinye izimpawu onazo (isib. ikhanda elibuhlungu, ubuhlungu bobuso) nokuthi usunesikhathi eside kangakanani unalesi simo, kungaba yi-sinusitis noma ukutheleleka ngamagciwane.
• Obomvu noma opinki: I-mucus ingase ibonakale ipinki noma inemigqa ebomvu uma kukhona igazi elincane kuyo. Lokhu kungenzeka uma isikhumba esingaphakathi kwekhala somile futhi sonakele. Imithambo yegazi emincane engaphakathi kwekhala nayo ingaqhuma, okubangela ukuba igazi liqoqeke ku-mucus.
• Umbala onsundu:Ukungcoliswa komoya nokubhema kungabangela lo mucus onsundu. Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi kungaba uphawu lokutheleleka.
• Okumnyama: Lokhu kungaba ngenxa yokuthile okuphefumulile (isb. umusi wamalahle). Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi kungaba uphawu lokutheleleka okuyingozi kwesikhunta.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu: Awukwazi ukubona kahle ukuthi yisiphi isifo onaso ngokubheka umbala we-mucus yakho. Uma i-mucus yakho imnyama (mnyama, inombala onsundu), noma yimuphi omunye umbala owusolayo, ikakhulukazi uma unezinye izimpawu ezifana nobuhlungu bobuso noma ikhanda elibuhlungu, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela.

Ngakho-ke umbala onjani we-mucus enempilo?

Uma ungenaso isifo, i-mucus yakho ivame ukuba sobala. I-mucus ejiyile, ekhilimu, ephuzi, noma eluhlaza ingasho ukuthi unesifo. Kodwa-ke, uma une-allergy, ungase ube ne-mucus ecacile kakhulu, egobhozayo ephuma ekhaleni lakho.

Yiziphi izifo ezithinta ulwelwesi lwamafinyila?

Noma yini ebangela ukuvuvukala noma kuphi emzimbeni wethu noma evuselela amasosha omzimba wethu ingabangela ushintsho enanini, umbala, kanye nobukhulu be-mucus. Izimo zama-hormone kanye nezakhi zofuzo nazo zingathinta lokhu. Ezinye izimo ezingathinta i-mucus zifaka:

• Izifo: I-Sinusitis noma izifo zokuphefumula yizona ezivame kakhulu ukukhiqizwa kwamafinyila amaningi ekhaleni nasemphinjeni.
• Ukungezwani komzimba noma izinto ezicasulayo: Lapho izinto ezibangela ukungezwani komzimba noma ezinye izinto ezicasulayo zingena ohlelweni lokuphefumula, kungavela i-mucus ecacile.
• Izifo zamaphaphu: Izifo zamaphaphu ezingamahlalakhona ezifana ne-bronchiectasis kanye nesifo samaphaphu esingamahlalakhona (i-COPD) zingabangela ukuthi amafinyila aqongelelane lapho amaphaphu nezindlela zomoya zonakele.
• I-Cystic fibrosis: Lesi yisifo esibangelwa izakhi zofuzo esibangela ukuthi ama-pancreas namaphaphu akhiqize ulwelwesi olujiyile nolunamathelayo.
• Izinkinga zesistimu yokugaya ukudla: Izimo ezifana ne-diverticulitis, isifo samathumbu esivuvukalayo (IBD), i-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nanoma yini evuselela uhlelo lokugaya ukudla ingabangela i-mucus esitulweni.
• Izinkinga zama-hormone: Ukunqamuka kokuya esikhathini kanye namazinga aphansi e-estrogen kunganciphisa inani le-mucus ohlelweni lokuzala. Lokhu kungaholela ekunciphiseni ukuzala kanye nokomisa kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane.
• Umdlavuza: Ezinye izinhlobo zomdlavuza, njenge-mucinous carcinomas, zingavela ku-mucin.

Yini ongayenza ukuze ususe i-sebum eningi?

Esikhathini esiningi, kufanele ubhekane nalesi sikhwehlela esingaphezulu uma ugula. Umzimba uzama ukuqeda amagciwane namaseli omzimba afile. Nazi ezinye izinto ezingasiza ekunciphiseni lesi sikhwehlela:

• Izinto Zokukhipha Isisu:Lokhu kusiza ekunciphiseni ulwelwesi olujiyile bese lulususa esifubeni.
• Ukuhlanza amathumbu: Lokhu kungasiza ekuqhekekeni kwamafinyila ekhaleni nasemathunjini e-sinus. Kodwa-ke, udinga ukulandela imiyalelo ngokucophelela ukuze uwasebenzise ngokuphephile.
• Ama-Decongestant: Le mithi noma izifutho zinganciphisa okwesikhashana ukuvuvukala kanye ne-mucus ekhaleni nasemphinjeni.
• Ama-Antihistamine: Lawa asiza ekumiseni ukukhiqizwa ngokweqile kwe-mucus ngenxa yokungezwani komzimba noma ukulawula isimo.
• Imithi yokwelapha amaphaphu: Le mithi isetshenziselwa ukwelapha izifo zamaphaphu ezingamahlalakhona njenge-cystic fibrosis.

Udinga ukubona udokotela ngasiphi isikhathi?

Uma i-phlegm yakho inombala ongajwayelekile (njengophuzi okhanyayo noma oluhlaza okotshani), ijiyile kakhulu, noma ibonakala inegazi, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela. Udokotela wakho angabe esehlola ukuthi unesifo esidinga ukwelashwa.

Ingabe "i-Mucus" ne-"Phlegm" ziyinto efanayo?

I-"phlegm" yilokho esivame ukukubiza ngokuthi "i-phlegm emphinjeni" noma "i-phlegm esifubeni." Lolu futhi uhlobo lwe-mucus. Kodwa ngokuvamile luvela ezingxenyeni ezingezansi zesistimu yethu yokuphefumula (njengamaphaphu). Lujiyile kune-mucus evamile ngoba lulwa nokutheleleka.

Kungcono yini ukugwinya umucu ophuma emphinjeni noma ukuwukhafula?

Uma une-mucus emphinjeni wakho, ukugwinya ngeke kube buhlungu. Kodwa abanye abantu bangase bakhwehlele noma bezwe iqhubu emphinjeni wabo lapho beligwinya. Noma, abanye abantu bangase bakuthole "kungajabulisi." Ngakho-ke, akukho okubi ngokushaya ikhala lakho - kodwa kufanele ukwenze ngokucabangela abanye.

Uma kungenzeka, beka i-mucus ku-tissue noma i-napkin bese uyilahla kudoti. Qiniseka ukuthi ugeza izandla zakho kahle ngensipho namanzi ngemva kwalokho. Uma i-tissue ingekho, hlala kude nabanye abantu bese uvumela i-mucus iphume.

Okokugcina, izinto okufanele uzikhumbule

Manje usuyazi ukuthi i-mucus iyiqhawe elingaziswanga lesimiso sethu somzimba sokuzivikela. Nakuba kungase kubonakale kuyinkathazo kithi lapho sigula, le mucus emphinjeni wethu, yonke, empeleni ilwela wena. Le mucus isebenza njalo ukuvikela umzimba wakho kumagciwane nezinye izinto ezingakulimaza.

Uma ubona izinguquko ku-mucus yakho (umbala, inani, ukuqina), ngezinye izikhathi kungakunikeza umbono wokuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle emzimbeni wakho. Ngakho-ke, uma uzizwa okuthile okungajwayelekile noma okusolisayo nge-mucus yakho, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukubona udokotela bese uthola iseluleko. Bangakusiza ukuthi unqume ukuthi kuyinto evamile noma into okufanele uyikhathazeke.
