Ukuqonda ubungozi bakho bomdlavuza

Izici zobungozi bomdlavuza ocacile yizinto ezandisa amathuba okuthi ungathola umdlavuza obomvu. Ezinye zezinto ezinobungozi ongazilawula, njengokuphuza utshwala, ukudla, nokukhuluphala ngokweqile. Eminye, njengomlando womndeni, awukwazi ukuyilawula.

Lapho unezinto eziyingozi kakhulu, ingozi yakho iyanda. Kepha akusho ukuthi uzothola umdlavuza. Abantu abaningi abanezici eziyingozi abaze bathole umdlavuza. Abanye abantu bathola umdlavuza obala kodwa abanazo izinto eziyingozi.

Funda ngengozi yakho nokuthi yiziphi izinyathelo ongazithatha ukuvimbela umdlavuza obomvu.

Asazi ukuthi yini ebanga umdlavuza obala, kodwa siyazi ezinye zezinto ezingakhuphula ubungozi bokuwuthola, njenge:

• Ubudala. Ingozi yakho inyuka ngemuva kweminyaka yobudala engama-50
• Ube nama-colon polyps noma umdlavuza we-colorectal
• Unesifo sokuvuvukala kwamathumbu (IBD), njenge-ulcerative colitis noma isifo seCrohn
• Umlando womndeni womdlavuza obomvu noma ama-polyps kubazali, ogogo nomkhulu, izingane zakini, noma izingane
• Izinguquko ze-Gene (ukuguqulwa) kwezakhi zofuzo ezithile (ezingavamile)
• Ama-African American noma ama-Ashkenazi amaJuda (abantu abavela eMpumalanga Yurophu yamaJuda)
• Thayipha 2 sikashukela
• Ukudla okuphezulu ngezinyama ezibomvu nezicutshunguliwe
• Ukungasebenzi ngokomzimba
• Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile
• Ukubhema
• Ukuphuza kakhulu utshwala

Ezinye izinto ezinobungozi zilawulwa nguwe, kanti ezinye azikho. Izici eziningi zobungozi ezingenhla, ezifana nobudala nomlando womndeni, azikwazi ukuguqulwa. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi unezici zobungozi ongeke ukwazi ukuzilawula akusho ukuthi awukwazi ukuthatha izinyathelo zokwehlisa ubungozi bakho.

Qala ngokuthola ukuhlolwa komdlavuza okukhanyayo (colonoscopy) eneminyaka engama-40 kuye kwengama-50 kuye ngezici zobungozi. Ungahle uthande ukuqala ukuhlola ngaphambi kwesikhathi uma unomlando womndeni. Ukuhlola kungasiza ekuvikeleni umdlavuza ogqamile, futhi kungenye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu ongazenza ukwehlisa ubungozi bakho.

Imikhuba ethile yokuphila nayo ingasiza ekunciphiseni ubungozi bakho:

• Gcina isisindo esinempilo
• Yidla ukudla okunamafutha amancane okunemifino nezithelo eziningi
• Nciphisa inyama ebomvu nenyama esetshenzisiwe
• Vivinya umzimba njalo
• Nciphisa uphuzo oludakayo olungadluli ku-1 ngosuku kwabesifazane neziphuzo ezi-2 ngosuku kwabesilisa
• Ungabhemi
• Ukwengeza nge-vitamin D (khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo kuqala)

Ungaba nokuhlolwa kofuzo okwenziwe ukuhlola ubungozi bakho bomdlavuza onobala. Uma unomlando oqinile womndeni wesifo, khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho mayelana nokuhlolwa.

I-aspirin yesilinganiso esincane inganconywa kwabanye abantu abasengozini enkulu kakhulu yomdlavuza obala otholakala nokuhlolwa kofuzo. Akunconyelwa abantu abaningi ngenxa yemiphumela emibi.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma:

• Yiba nemibuzo noma ukukhathazeka ngengozi yakho yomdlavuza
• Unentshisekelo ekuhloleni izakhi zofuzo engozini yomdlavuza onobala
• Ifanele ukuhlolwa kokuhlolwa
