Intambo yenkaba yintambo eqinile, eguquguqukayo ethwala izakhamzimba kanye negazi kusuka kumama wokuzalwa kuye enganeni ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Ngemuva kokuzalwa, intambo, engenazo iziphetho zemizwa, iyaxinwa (ukumisa ukopha) bese iyasika eduze kwenkaba, ishiye umuthi. Isiqu ngokuvamile siwa evikini elilodwa kuya kwamathathu ngemuva kokuzalwa.

Ngesikhathi sokubeletha kanye nenqubo yokubamba nokusika, amagciwane angahlasela intambo futhi abangele ukutheleleka. Ukutheleleka kwesiphunzi sentambo kubizwa nge-omphalitis.

Omphalitis e-United States, e-United Kingdom, nakwamanye amazwe lapho abantu befinyelela kalula ezibhedlela.

Funda ukuze ufunde ukuthi ungabona kanjani futhi welaphe ukutheleleka kwentambo.

Izithombe zesiphunzi somgogodla ongenalo igciwane

Ungasikhomba kanjani isifo se-umbilical cord

Kuyinto evamile ukuthi intambo eboshiwe ithuthukise uqweqwe ekugcineni kwayo. Kungaze kuphume ngisho negazi kancane, ikakhulukazi nxazonke zesisekelo sesiphunzi lapho sesikulungele ukuwa. Kodwa ukopha kufanele kube lula futhi kuyeke ngokushesha lapho ufaka ingcindezi emnene.

Ngenkathi ukopha okuncane kuyinto ejwayelekile futhi imvamisa kungekho lutho okufanele likhathazeke ngalo, izimpawu zokutheleleka zingafaka:

• isikhumba esibomvu, esivuvukile, esifudumele noma esithambile esizungeze intambo
• ubomvu (uketshezi oluphuzi ngokuluhlaza) ophuma esikhunjeni uzungeze intambo
• iphunga elibi eliphuma entanjeni
• imfiva
• ingane exokozelayo, engakhululeki, noma elele kakhulu

Ungalufuna nini usizo

Umthambo ufinyelela ngqo egazini, ngakho-ke noma ukutheleleka okuncane kungabucayi ngokushesha. Lapho ukutheleleka kungena egazini futhi kusakazeka (okubizwa nge-sepsis), kungadala ukulimala okusongela impilo ezithweni zomzimba nezicubu zomzimba.

Xhumana nodokotela wezingane wengane yakho ngokushesha uma ubona noma yiziphi kulezi zimpawu ezingenhla zokutheleleka ngentambo. Ukutheleleka kwe-umbilical cord kuyabulala cishe ezinganeni ezinokutheleleka kwezintambo, ngakho-ke kubhekwa njengesimo esiphuthumayo sezokwelapha.

Izingane ezizalwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi zisengozini enkulu yezinkinga ezinzima ezivela kulolu hlobo lokutheleleka ngoba sezinamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka.

Yikuphi ukwelashwa okutholakalayo?

Ukuze unqume ukwelashwa okufanelekile kokutheleleka kwengane yakho, uchwepheshe wezokwelapha uvame ukuthatha i-swab yendawo ethelelekile. Le swab ingabuye ihlolwe kulebhu ukuze kutholakale igciwane ngqo elibangela ukutheleleka. Lapho odokotela bazi ukuthi yiliphi igciwane elibhekene nalo, bangakhomba kangcono i-antibiotic efanelekile ukulwa nalo.

Lapho imbangela yezimpawu isitholakele, ukwelashwa kuncike kakhulu ebangeni lesifo.

Ngokutheleleka okuncane, udokotela wengane yakho angancoma ukufaka umuthi wama-antibiotic izikhathi ezimbalwa ngosuku esikhumbeni esizungeze intambo. Isibonelo sokutheleleka okuncane uma kukhona inani elincane lobomvu, kodwa ingane yakho ngenye indlela ibonakala ilungile.

Ukutheleleka okuncane kungaba kubi kakhulu uma kuyekwa kungalashwa, noma kunjalo, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukubona udokotela noma kunini lapho kusolwa khona ukutheleleka kwenkaba.

Ukuze uthole izifo ezibucayi, ingane yakho kuzodingeka ukuthi ilaliswe esibhedlela futhi inikezwe ama-antibiotic emithanjeni ukuze kuliwe nokutheleleka. Imithi elwa namagciwane ifakwa ngenaliti efakwe emthanjeni. Ingane yakho ingaba sesibhedlela izinsuku ezimbalwa ngenkathi ithola ama-antibiotic.

Izingane ezinikezwa ama-antibiotic emthanjeni zivamise ukuzithola cishe izinsuku eziyi-10. Bangabe sebenikezwa ama-antibiotic engeziwe ngemilomo yabo.

Kwezinye izimo, ukutheleleka kungadinga ukukhishwa ngokuhlinzwa.

Uma ukutheleleka kubangele ukuthi izicubu zife, ingane yakho ingadinga nokuhlinzwa ukuze kukhishwe lawo maseli afile.

Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukululama?

Lapho ukutheleleka okungathi sína kubanjwa kusenesikhathi, izingane eziningi zilulama ngokuphelele emasontweni ambalwa. Kepha imvamisa badinga ukuhlala esibhedlela ngenkathi bethola ama-antibiotic emithanjeni.

Uma ngabe ingane yakho ihlinziwe ukukhipha ukutheleleka, ukuvulwa kungenzeka ukuthi "bekugcwele" nge-gauze. I-gauze izogcina ukusika kuvulekile futhi ivumele ubomvu ukuba buphume. Lapho ukukhipha sekuyekile, i-gauze iyasuswa futhi isilonda sizophola kusuka phansi kuya phezulu.

Ungasinakekela kanjani isiphunzi senkaba

Eminyakeni embalwa nje edlule, izibhedlela zazivame ukuvala isiphunzi sentambo yengane ngomuthi wokubulala amagciwane (ikhemikhali elibulala amagciwane) ngemva kokuba liboshiwe futhi lasikwa. Nokho, kulezi zinsuku iningi lezibhedlela nodokotela bezingane beluleka ngokuthi “ukunakekelwa okomile” kwezintambo.

Ukunakekelwa okomile kubandakanya ukugcina intambo yomile nokuyiveza emoyeni ukuyisiza ukuyigcina ingenagciwane. Ngokuya ngocwaningo olushicilelwe ephephabhukwini iMedicine, ukunakekelwa kwentambo eyomile (uma kuqhathaniswa nokusebenzisa isibulala magciwane) kuyindlela ephephile, elula, nephumelelayo yokusiza ukuvikela ukutheleleka ngezintambo ezinganeni ezinempilo ezizalwe ezibhedlela ezindaweni ezithuthukile.

Izeluleko zokunakekelwa kwentambo eyomile:

• Hlanza izandla zakho ngaphambi kokuthinta indawo yentambo yengane.
• Gwema ukuthola isiphunzi simanzi ngangokunokwenzeka. Sebenzisa izindawo zokugeza zesiponji ukuhlanza ingane yakho kuze kube yilapho isiphunzi siwela, futhi ugweme ukuchefula indawo ezungeze isiphunzi. Uma isiphunzi siba manzi, usiphulule ngobumnene ngethawula elihlanzekile nelithambile.
• Gcina inabukeni lengane yakho lisongwe ngaphansi kwesiphunzi lize liwe esikhundleni sokubeka ibhande le-diaper ngaphesheya kwesiphunzi. Lokhu kuzokwenza ukuthi umoya ujikeleze futhi kusize ukomisa isiphunzi.
• Hlanganisa ngesineke noma iyiphi i-pee noma i-poop eqoqa ngokuzungeze isiphunzi nge-gauze enamanzi amanzi. Vumela umoya wendawo ukome.

Ngenkathi kungenawo amathiphu wokunakekelwa ngehora elilodwa, amanye amasu angasiza futhi ekunciphiseni ubungozi bokutheleleka kwentambo ye-umbilical, njengokuxhumana kwesikhumba nesikhumba noma ukuncelisa ingane yakho ibele.

Ngokubeka ingane yakho engafakwanga esifubeni esifubeni sakho esingenalutho, esaziwa njengokuxhumana kwesikhumba nesikhumba, ungachaya ingane yakho kumagciwane wesikhumba ajwayelekile. Ngokuya kocwaningo lwango-2006 lwezinsana ezisanda kuzalwa zaseNepal olushicilelwe kwi-American Journal of Epidemiology, izingane ezithola ukuthintana nesikhumba nesikhumba zazinamathuba amancane ngamaphesenti angama-36 okuba nokutheleleka kwezintambo kunezingane ezazingenalo lolu hlobo lokuchayeka kwesikhumba.

Ukuncelisa ingane ibele kukuvumela ukuthi udlulise amasosha omzimba (izinto ezingasiza ukulwa nezifo) enganeni yakho, engasiza amasosha omzimba ukuba athuthuke futhi aqinise.

Uyini umbono?

E-United States, e-United Kingdom, nakwamanye amazwe amaningi, ukutheleleka ngemisipha akuvamile ezinganeni ezinempilo, ezinesikhathi esigcwele ezizalelwa ezibhedlela. Kodwa ukutheleleka ngezintambo kungenzeka, futhi lapho kwenzeka, kungaba yingozi empilweni uma kungabanjwa futhi kwelashwe kusenesikhathi.

Xhumana nodokotela wakho ngokushesha uma ubona isikhumba esibomvu, sethenda esizungeze intambo noma ubovu obukhipha esiqwini. Kufanele futhi uxhumane nodokotela uma ingane yakho iba nomkhuhlane noma ezinye izimpawu zokutheleleka. Ingane yakho idutshulwe kakhulu uma ilulama ngokugcwele uma ukwelashwa kuqalwa ngokushesha.
