Ukuvivinywa Kwemithi Okubandlululayo Kusho ukuthi Asazi Njalo ukuthi Imithi Ibathinta Kanjani Abesifazane

Cishe usuvele uyazi ukuthi ukuthatha i-aspirin kungaba usizo ekuvimbeleni ukuhlaselwa yinhliziyo-kuyisisekelo somkhankaso wokukhangisa womkhiqizo we-Bayer Aspirin. Kodwa cishe awazi ukuthi ucwaningo oludumile manje lwango-1989 olwaqinisa ukusebenza komuthi kulezi zimo luhlanganisa amadoda angaphezu kuka-20,000 kanye nabesifazane abayiziro.

Kungani kunjalo? Emlandweni omningi wezokwelapha, amadoda (kanye nezilwane zesilisa) kube "izingulube ze-Guinea" zokuhlola imiphumela, imithamo, kanye nemiphumela engemihle kukalwe ezifundweni zabesilisa ngokuyinhloko noma ngokuphelele. Kwezokwelapha zesimanje, amadoda abe yimodeli; abesifazane bavame ukucabangela.

Ngeshwa, umkhuba wokunganaki imiphumela yemithi kwabesifazane uyaqhubeka nanamuhla. Ngo-2013, eminyakeni engama-20 ngemuva kokutholakala komuthi okokuqala, i-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yasika isilinganiso esinconywayo se-Ambien sabesifazane ngesigamu (kusuka ku-10 mg kuye ku-5 mg wenguqulo ekhishwa ngokushesha). Kuvela ukuthi abesifazane-amaphesenti ama-5 abika ukuthi basebenzisa imishanguzo yokulala kadokotela uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti ama-3 kuphela abesilisa abacubungula umuthi ngokunensa kunamadoda, okusho ukuthi bazokuzwa bedonsa ngamandla emini ngomthamo ophakeme. Lo mphumela wecala uza nemithelela emibi, kufaka phakathi izingozi zokushayela.

Olunye ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi abesifazane basabela emithini enhlobonhlobo yemithi ehluke kakhulu kunamadoda. Isibonelo, ocwaningweni olulodwa, ababambiqhaza besilisa abathatha ama-statin baba nokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi okumbalwa kakhulu, kodwa iziguli zesifazane azizange zibonise umphumela omkhulu ofanayo. Ngakho-ke, kungase kube yingozi ukunikeza ama-statins-okuvame ukuza nemiphumela engemihle eyaziwa kakhulu-kwabesifazane abanengcuphe yezinkinga zenhliziyo noma abangenazo.

Kwezinye izimo, abesifazane benza kangcono kunamadoda kuma-anti-depressants e-SSRI, kanti olunye ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi amadoda anempumelelo enkulu ngemithi yama-tricyclic. Futhi, abesifazane abayimilutha ye-cocaine bakhombisa umehluko ekusebenzeni kobuchopho uma kuqhathaniswa nabesilisa, bephakamisa indlela abesifazane abangancika ngayo kumuthi ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngakho-ke, ukushiya amamodeli abesifazane ngaphandle kwezifundo zokulutha, ngokwesibonelo, kungenzeka kube nomthelela omkhulu kwizidakamizwa namazinga wokunakekelwa akhiqizwa kamuva ukusebenzela imilutha.

Siyazi futhi ukuthi abesifazane bakhombisa izimpawu ezahlukahlukene kwezinye izifo ezibucayi. Lapho abesifazane behlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo, ngokwesibonelo, kungenzeka noma bangazizwa benomuzwa wobuhlungu besifuba. Kunalokho, maningi amathuba okuthi kunamadoda abhekane nokuphelelwa umoya, umjuluko obandayo, nokuba nekhanda elilula. Yize ucansi lungeyona into kuzo zonke izici zempilo, uma lunjalo, luvame ukuba lubucayi.

"Asazi okwamanje noma ngabe [ucansi] luzoba balulekile kukho konke ukugula, kuzo zonke izimo, kodwa sidinga ukwazi ukuthi kunendaba nini," kusho uPhyllis Greenberger, umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Society for Women's Health. Ucwaningo. Muva nje ubeyingxenye yesithangami sengqungquthela yokudingida ngeqhaza lokwehluka kocansi ocwaningweni lwezokwelapha, oluxhaswe yinhlangano yakhe kanye ne-Endocrine Society.

Inhlangano kaGreenberger nayo yayihlangene nokusiza ukudlula kwe-1993 NIH Revitalization Act, eyayidinga ukuthi zonke izivivinyo zomtholampilo ezixhaswe ngemali yiNational Institutes of Health (NIH) zifake abesifazane nababambiqhaza abambalwa. Njengamanje, leli qembu lingelinye labaningi abasebenzela ukuthola ukucatshangelwa okufanayo kwezilwane namaseli asetshenziswe ocwaningweni lwezimpawu zangaphambi kokucwaswa - hhayi abantu kuphela.

Ngokujabulisayo, i-NIH icindezela ukwenza ushintsho olukhulu unomphela ocwaningweni. Kusukela ngoSepthemba wangonyaka odlule, kwaqala ukwethula uchungechunge lwezinqubomgomo, imithethonqubo, kanye nokukhuthaza izibonelelo ukukhuthaza (futhi ezimweni eziningi kudinga) abacwaningi ukuthi babone ucansi lwezinto eziphilayo njengento ebalulekile emsebenzini wabo.
