Ingabe uvame ukuba nekhanda elibuhlungu? Ngezinye izikhathi umbono wakho uyashintsha kancane, bese uzizwa sengathi ubona okuthile okufiphele? Uma sicabanga ngama-sinus, cishe njalo sicabanga ngekhala elicijile nekhala eligobhozayo. Kodwa bewazi ukuthi kukhona umgodi we-sinus okhethekile ngaphakathi kwekhanda lethu, oseduze kakhulu nobuchopho, obonakala ufihliwe? Uma kunenkinga ngalokhu, izimpawu zihlukile kakhulu ezimpawini ezivamile ze-sinus. Yilokho esikhuluma ngakho namuhla.

Kalula nje, iyini i-sphenoid sinus?

Cabanga ukuthi ngaphakathi kwekhanda lethu kunezimbobo ezincane ezigcwele umoya. Lezi yizo esizibiza ngokuthi izimbobo ze-sinus. Kunezinhlobo ezine eziyinhloko zalezi. I-sphenoid sinus ingenye yalezo zinhlobo ezine. Into ekhethekile ukuthi itholakala emuva kakhulu kunezinye izimbobo ze-sinus, ngaphakathi kakhulu kwekhanda. Kufana negumbi eliyimfihlo phakathi kwekhanda lethu.

Lolu hlelo lwezimbobo ze-sinus ezizungeze ubuso nekhala lethu lubizwa ngokuthi ama-paranasal sinuses. Ake sibheke ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo ezine.

Umgodi we-sphenoid sinus wenza into efanayo nezinye izinsini. Okusho ukuthi, ukhiqiza inkungu. Lo mucus ubamba amagciwane, izinto ezibangela ukungezwani komzimba, kanye nothuli olungena ekhaleni bese luphuma ekhaleni. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yendawo okuyo, ukutheleleka okukuwo kungaba kubi kakhulu. Ngoba ukutheleleka kungasakazeka kalula ezithweni ezibalulekile njengobuchopho namehlo.

Yiziphi ezinye izinzuzo ezinazo lo mgodi we-sinus emzimbeni wethu?

Ngaphezu kokukhipha amagciwane, ama-sphenoid sinuses asinikeza ezinye izinzuzo eziningana. Odokotela basacwaninga ngalokhu, kodwa nanka amanye amaqiniso esiwatholile kuze kube manje.

• Kuthambisa umoya esiwuphefumulayo: I-mucus ekhiqizwa yilezi zimbobo ze-sinus isiza ukugcina ingaphakathi lekhala lethu limanzi, lifudumele, futhi liphilile. Ngakho umoya esiwuphefumulayo uhlanzekile futhi umanzi futhi ungena emaphashini ethu.
• Kunciphisa isisindo sekhanda: Ikhanda akuyona into eqinile egcwele amathambo ngokuphelele. Ngenxa yalezi zimbobo ezigcwele umoya, isisindo sekhanda sincishiswa kakhulu. Lokhu kuyimpumuzo enkulu entanyeni yethu.
• Ihlinzeka ngesivikelo uma kwenzeka ingozi: Uma ikhanda lishaya okuthile, okunye ukushaqeka komthelela kumuncwa yilezi zimbobo ezigcwele umoya. Njenge-'shock absorber' emotweni. Lokhu kunciphisa ingozi yokuphuka kwekhanda kanye nokulimala kobuchopho ngezinga elithile.
• Kuthinta izwi: Izwi lethu lidalwa ukudlidliza kwezintambo zezwi. Kulapho lowo msindo uzwakala ngaphakathi kwalezi zimbobo ezingenalutho lapho izwi lethu lithola khona isimo salo esiyingqayizivele.

Ingabe le ndawo iyingozi ngempela?

Yebo, leli yiphuzu okudingeka silinake ngokukhethekile. I-sphenoid sinus itholakala njengothango eduze kwezakhiwo eziningana ezibucayi nezibalulekile emzimbeni wethu.

Izinto ezibalulekile ezisondelene kakhulu nale sinus yilezi:

• Umthambo We-Carotid Wangaphakathi: Lona umthambo wegazi oyinhloko ohambisa igazi ebuchosheni bethu. Uma lonakele, imiphumela ingaba mibi kakhulu.
• I-Optic Nerve: Lona umthambo oyinhloko oxhumanisa amehlo ethu nobuchopho futhi usinika umbono. Uma ukutheleleka kwe-sinus kusakazekela kulo mthambo, kungaholela ekulahlekelweni umbono ngokuphelele.
• Indlala Yesitho Somthambo: Indlala encane kunazo zonke, kodwa enamandla kakhulu emzimbeni wethu. Le ndlala ilawula izinto eziningi emzimbeni, okuhlanganisa ukukhula nokukhiqizwa kwama-hormone.

Kodwa le ndawo inenzuzo eyodwa nakodokotela. Lapho kuvela izimila endlaleni ye-pituitary, ukuhlinzwa ngezinye izikhathi kwenziwa ngokufaka ikhamera encane ngekhala bese idlula emgodini we-sphenoid sinus. Lokhu kuhlinzwa kubizwa ngokuthi "ukuhlinzwa kwe-Transsphenoidal." Le ndlela ivumela ukuthi isimila sisuswe ngaphandle kokwenza noma yikuphi ukusikwa ebusweni noma ekhanda.

Ziyini izimpawu zokutheleleka kwe-sphenoid sinus?

Lena yingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu. Enkingeni evamile ye-sinus, sithola izimpawu ezifana nekhala elicijile, ikhala eligobhozayo, kanye nebunzi elibuhlungu. Kodwa izimpawu zokutheleleka kwe-sphenoid sinus (i-Sphenoid Sinusitis) zihlukile kakhulu futhi zimbi kakhulu.

Ngenxa yokuthi le sinus itholakala ngokujulile, izimpawu ezihlobene nekhala azivamile. Esikhundleni salokho, izimpawu zivela emiphumeleni emizimbeni nasebuchosheni obuzungezile.

Uma uhlangabezana nalezi zimpawu, ungahlali nje ekhaya ucabange ukuthi kuyinkinga evamile yomkhuhlane noma ye-sinus. Uma ingelashwa, ukutheleleka kungasakazeka futhi kuholele ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, njenge:

• Ithumba Lobuchopho: Ukuvuvukala kobomvu ngaphakathi kobuchopho.
• I-Meningitis: Ukutheleleka kwezicubu ezizungeze ubuchopho kanye nomgogodla.
• Imizwa Yobuchopho Eyonakele: Lokhu kungabangela ukulahlekelwa umbono, ukungakwazi ukuhambisa amehlo, kanye nokungabi namizwa kolunye uhlangothi lobuso.

Siyigcina kanjani le ndawo yokungena kwama-sinus iphilile?

Ngenhlanhla, ukutheleleka kwe-sphenoid sinus akuvamile kakhulu, kodwa izinto esivame ukuzenza ukuze sigcine uhlelo lwethu lwe-sinus luphilile zingasiza kulokhu futhi.

1. Imikhuba emihle yempilo: Lala ngokwanele, phuza okungenani izingilazi zamanzi ezingu-8 ngosuku, udle ukudla okunomsoco, futhi uvivinye umzimba. Lezi zinto ziqinisa amasosha omzimba.

2. Ukugeza izandla: Ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zesifo esikhulu, geza izandla zakho kahle ngensipho namanzi ngemva kokubuya ngaphandle nangaphambi kokudla.

3. Ukulawula ukungezwani komzimba: Uma une-allergy yezinto ezifana nothuli, impova, njll., gwema ukuzithinta kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka. Uma kudingeka, sebenzisa imithi oyinikezwe udokotela wakho.

4. Ukugcina ikhala lihlanzekile: Uma kune-mucus eningi, ukugeza ikhala ngamanzi anosawoti (i-Nasal Irrigation) kuhle kakhulu. Kunemishini etholakala kulokhu emakhemisi.

5. Ukuhogela ngomusi: Uma ikhala lakho ligcwele futhi ama-sinus akho ezwakala esinda, ukuhogela ngomusi ngamanzi ashisayo kungasiza ekukhululeni ama-mucus futhi kusize ukuthi aphume.

Kufanele ubonane nini nodokotela?

Ukutheleleka okuvamile kwe-sinus kuzophela ngesonto noma amabili. Kodwa uma unezinye zezimpawu ezingezansi, ungachithi isikhathi bese ubona udokotela ngokushesha.

• Uma inkinga ye-sinus ingakapheli isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto amabili.
• Uma unekhanda elibuhlungu kakhulu, umkhuhlane, kanye nentamo eqinile .
• Uma uhlangabezana nanoma yiziphi izinguquko embonweni wakho (ukufiphala, ukubona okuphindwe kabili).
• Uma kukhona ukuvuvukala noma ukubomvu okuzungeze amehlo .
• Ukwesaba okukhulu kwe-photophobia (i-photophobia).
• Uma unenkinga yokucabanga noma uzizwa ukhathazekile .

Lezi zimpawu zibonisa ukuthi ukutheleleka sekuyinto enkulu futhi sekuqala ukuthinta ubuchopho noma amehlo. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukufuna usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha ngalesi sikhathi. Ungathunyelwa eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) wesibhedlela esiseduze.
