Unganciphisa ubungozi bakho

Ochwepheshe bathi amaphesenti angama-50 awo wonke umdlavuza waseU.S angavinjelwa uma abantu bethatha izinyathelo eziyisisekelo zokunciphisa izingozi zabo. Ukuze uthole ukuhlolwa komuntu siqu kwengozi ye-Cancer eyi-12 evame kakhulu, gcwalisa uhlu lwemibuzo olufushane lwe-inthanethi -- "Ingozi Yakho Yomdlavuza" -- eSikhungweni Se-inthanethi se-Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, www.yourcancerrisk.harvard.edu. Bese uchofoza kuzinguquko ezinconywayo zendlela yokuphila bese ubheka ukwehla kwengozi yakho. Isibonelo, ukwehlisa kakhulu amathuba okuthola umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, ungabhemi, uthole ukuhlolwa kwePap njalo, ukhawule abalingani bobulili futhi usebenzise amakhondomu noma i-diaphragm. - M.E.S.

Ukuncelisa ibele kuvimbela umdlavuza webele

Ukondla ingane unyaka wonke kunganciphisa ingozi yomdlavuza wamabele cishe ngamaphesenti angama-50, uma kuqhathaniswa nabesifazane abangakaze bancelise ibele, kubika abacwaningi baseYale University School of Medicine.

Yiliphi iphilisi elivimbela umdlavuza kangcono?

Imithi yokuvimbela inzalo, ukukhulelwa kanye nokuncelisa ibele konke kunciphisa ingozi yomdlavuza we-ovarian, mhlawumbe ngokucindezela i-ovulation. Manje, ucwaningo lwe-Duke University Medical Center lusinikeza ukukhanya kokuthi i-O.C.'s ingalwa kanjani nalesi sifo: I-progestin (uhlobo lwe-progesterone) ayiqukethe ingase yenze amangqamuzana athandwa umdlavuza kuma-ovaries azibulale. Abesifazane abathathe iphilisi izinyanga ezintathu noma ngaphezulu babenezinga eliphansi lomdlavuza we-ovarian-cancer kunabangewona abasebenzisi, kepha abesifazane abathatha izinhlobo eziphezulu ze-progestin (njengo-Ovulen noDemulen) banciphisa ubungozi babo ngokuphindwe kabili kunalabo abathathe i-progestin ephansi izinhlobo (njenge-Enovid-E ne-Ovcon). Okuqukethwe kwe-Estrogen akwenzanga mehluko. -- D.P.L.

Ubisi: lwenza kahle ikholoni

Abantu abaphuza ubisi oluningi kunanoma yiluphi uhlobo (ngaphandle kobisi lwebhotela) mancane amathuba okuba babe nomdlavuza wekoloni esikhathini esiyiminyaka engama-24, ukuhlaziya imikhuba yokuphuza ubisi ecishe ibe ngu-10,000 yabantu baseYurophu etholakele. Abaphenyi baphetha ngokuthi ukuvikelwa akubanga ngenxa ye-calcium noma uvithamini D obisini futhi bacabanga ukuthi i-lactose (ushukela wobisi) ingakhuthaza ukukhula kwamagciwane anobungani asiza ukuvikela umdlavuza. - K.D.
