Cabanga ngakho njengokuthi uma sinesilonda endaweni ethile esikhumbeni sethu, siyatheleleka. Okwenzekayo lapha ukuthi amagciwane angena esikhumbeni esibucayi ngaphakathi komgudwini wendlebe bese ebangela ukutheleleka. Lokhu kungaba ukutheleleka ngamagciwane noma ukutheleleka ngefungus.

Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi 'indlebe yokubhukuda' ngoba kuvame kakhulu kubantu abachitha isikhathi esiningi emanzini, ikakhulukazi ababhukudi. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka kunoma ubani, hhayi ababhukudi kuphela. Le ngozi iphezulu kakhulu ngesikhathi sezulu esishisayo, lapho sivame ukugeza nokudlala emanzini.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uma lokhu kungelashwa kahle, ngezinye izikhathi kungenzeka ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa, ngisho nokulahlekelwa ukuzwa okwesikhashana. Kodwa ungakhathazeki, isikhathi esiningi lesi simo singalapheka ngokuphelele ngokwelashwa okufanele. Ngokuvamile, odokotela banikeza amaconsi endlebe kulokhu.

Sivame kangakanani lesi simo?

Indlebe yokubhukuda empeleni ivame kakhulu. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi cishe abantu abayi-10% e-United States kuphela bake baba nayo ngesikhathi esithile empilweni yabo. Nakuba ingakhula nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, ivame kakhulu ezinganeni eziphakathi kweminyaka engu-7 nengu-14 .

• Umuzwa wokugcwala nokusinda ngaphakathi kwendlebe.
• Ubuhlungu bendlebe, ikakhulukazi uma ubuhlungu bukhula lapho i-earlobe idonswa emuva, luwuphawu olubalulekile.
• Abanye abantu bangase babe nomkhuhlane .
• Uketshezi noma uketshezi oluphuma endlebeni.
• Ukuluma okukhulu ngaphakathi kwendlebe.
• Ukuzwa kunciphile kancane, futhi kuzwakala sengathi uzwa kancane (ukuzwa okungathintiwe).
• Ubomvu nokuvuvukala kwesikhumba esizungeze indlebe.

• Kulabo abavame ukusebenzisa ama-earbud noma izinsiza zokuzwa: Uma lokhu kungahlanzwa kahle, ukungcola namagciwane kunganqwabelana futhi kubangele ukutheleleka kwezindlebe.

Yiziphi izinkinga ezingaba khona uma zingelashwa?

Esikhathini esiningi, indlebe yokubhukuda iyisimo esingelapheka uma yelashwa ngokushesha. Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi, ikakhulukazi uma ingelashwa noma iphuzile, izinkinga zingavela. Lezi azivamile, kodwa kubalulekile ukuziqaphela.

• Ukutheleleka kwendlebe okungapheli:Uma indlebe yombhukudi iqhubeka isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinyanga ezintathu, kubhekwa njengokutheleleka okungapheli. Uma kokubili amagciwane kanye nesikhunta kuhlangana ukuze kwakheke ukutheleleka, lokhu kungenzeka kubantu abanezinkinga zesikhumba noma labo abanokungezwani nemithi yendlebe.
• I-cellulitis (ukutheleleka kwezicubu ezijulile zesikhumba): Akuvamile kakhulu, lokhu kutheleleka kwendlebe kungasakazekela ezicutshini ezijulile ngaphansi kwesikhumba.
