Kuyini ukuhlolwa kwamaminerali amathambo?

Ukuhlolwa kobuningi bamaminerali kusetshenziswa ama-X-ray ukukala inani lamaminerali - okuyi-calcium - emathanjeni akho. Lokhu kuhlolwa kubalulekile kubantu abasengozini yokuhlaselwa ngamathambo, ikakhulukazi abesifazane nabantu abadala asebekhulile.

Isivivinyo sibizwa nangokuthi amandla amabili we-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Kuyisivivinyo esibalulekile se-osteoporosis, okuluhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwesifo samathambo. I-osteoporosis ibangela ukuthi izicubu zakho zethambo zibe mncane futhi zibe buthakathaka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi futhi ziholele ekukhubazekeni kokuhlukana.

Yini inhloso yokuhlolwa?

Udokotela wakho angayalela ukuhlolwa kwamaminerali amathambo uma besola ukuthi amathambo akho aya ngokuya eba buthakathaka, ukhombisa izimpawu ze-osteoporosis, noma usufinyelele eminyakeni lapho kudingeka khona ukuhlolwa kokuvikela.

I-National Institutes of Health (NIH) incoma ukuthi laba bantu abalandelayo bathole ukuhlolwa kokuvikela ubukhulu bamathambo:

• bonke abesifazane abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65
• abesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-65 abasengozini enkulu yokuqhekeka

Abesifazane baba nengozi eyengeziwe yokwelashwa kwamathambo uma bebhema noma bephuza iziphuzo ezidakayo ezintathu noma ngaphezulu ngosuku. Banobungozi obandayo uma ngabe:

• isifo esingapheliyo sezinso
• ukuqala ukuya esikhathini
• ukuphazamiseka kokudla okuholela ekutheni kube nesisindo somzimba esiphansi
• umlando womndeni we-osteoporosis
• “ukwephuka kokuqina” (ithambo eliphukile elibangelwa imisebenzi ejwayelekile)
• isifo samathambo
• ukulahleka okukhulu kokuphakama (uphawu lokucindezelwa kokuqhekeka kukholamu lomgogodla)
• indlela yokuphila yokuhlala phansi efaka imisebenzi emincane yokuthwala isisindo

Ungakulungiselela kanjani ukuhlolwa kwesisindo samaminerali

Ukuhlolwa kudinga ukulungiswa okuncane. Ngokuskena okuningi kwamathambo, awudingi ngisho nokuguqula izingubo zakho. Kodwa-ke, kufanele ugweme ukugqoka izingubo ezinezinkinobho, izifinyezo, noma uziphu ngoba insimbi ingaphazamisa izithombe ze-X-ray.

Kwenziwa kanjani?

Ukuhlolwa kwamaminerali wamathambo akunabuhlungu futhi akudingi muthi. Uvele ulale ebhentshini noma etafuleni ngenkathi kwenziwa isivivinyo.

Ukuhlolwa kungenzeka ehhovisi likadokotela wakho, uma benemishini efanele. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ungathunyelwa esikhungweni esikhethekile sokuhlola. Amanye amakhemisi nemitholampilo yezempilo nayo inemishini yokuskena ephathekayo.

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zokuskena kwamathambo:

ICentral DXA

Lokhu kuskena kuhilela ukulala etafuleni ngenkathi umshini we-X-ray uskena okhalweni lwakho, umgogodla namanye amathambo omzimba wakho.

Umngcele we-DXA

Lokhu kuskena kuhlola amathambo engalo yakho, isihlakala, iminwe noma isithende. Lokhu kuskena kuvame ukusetshenziswa njengethuluzi lokuhlola ukufunda uma udinga i-DXA emaphakathi. Ukuhlolwa kuthatha imizuzu embalwa kuphela.

Izingozi zokuhlolwa kwesisindo samaminerali

Ngoba ukuhlolwa kwamaminerali amathambo kusebenzisa ama-X-ray, kunengozi encane ehambisana nokuvezwa yimisebe. Kodwa-ke, amazinga emisebe yokuhlolwa aphansi kakhulu. Ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi ubungozi obubangelwa yilokhu kuvezwa yimisebe buphansi kakhulu kunobungozi bokungatholi i-osteoporosis ngaphambi kokuba uthole ukuphuka kwethambo.

Tshela udokotela wakho uma ukhulelwe noma ukholwe ukuthi ungakhulelwa. Imisebe ye-X-ray ingalimaza umbungu wakho.

Ngemuva kokuhlolwa kobuningi bamathambo

Udokotela wakho uzobuyekeza imiphumela yakho yokuhlolwa. Imiphumela, ebizwa ngokuthi yi-T-score, isuselwa ebunzimeni bamaminerali wamathambo wengane eneminyaka engama-30 enempilo uma iqhathaniswa nenani lakho. Isikolo esingu-0 sithathwa njengesikahle.

I-NIH inikeza imihlahlandlela elandelayo yezikolo zokuqina kwamathambo:

• ejwayelekile: phakathi kuka-1 no -1
• isisindo samathambo aphansi: -1 kuye ku--2.5
• i-osteoporosis: -2.5 noma ngaphansi
• i-osteoporosis enamandla: -2.5 noma ngaphansi ngamathambo aqhekekile

Udokotela wakho uzoxoxa nawe ngemiphumela yakho. Ngokuya ngemiphumela yakho nesizathu sokuhlolwa, udokotela wakho angafuna ukwenza ukuhlolwa kokulandelela. Bazosebenzisana nani ukuqhamuka nohlelo lokwelashwa ukubhekana nanoma yiziphi izinkinga.
