Kungani ama-mammograms abalulekile

I-mammogram iyithuluzi lokucabanga elingcono kakhulu abahlinzeki bezokunakekelwa kwempilo abangalisebenzisa ukuthola izimpawu zokuqala zomdlavuza webele. Ukutholwa kusenesikhathi kungenza umehluko ekwelashweni okuphumelelayo komdlavuza.

Ukuthola i-mammogram okokuqala kungadala ukukhathazeka. Kunzima ukwazi ukuthi yini ongayilindela uma ungakaze ukwenze. Kepha ukuhlela i-mammogram kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile nesisebenzayo sokunakekela impilo yakho.

Ukulungela i-mammogram kungasiza ekunciphiseni ingqondo yakho njengoba ulungiselela ukuhlolwa kwakho. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngenqubo nokuthi yini ongayilindela ngobuhlungu.

Ingabe kuzolimaza?

Wonke umuntu uhlangabezana nama-mammograms ngokuhlukile. Abanye besifazane bangazizwa izinhlungu ngesikhathi senqubo, kanti abanye bangazizwa lutho.

Abesifazane abaningi bazizwa bengakhululekile phakathi nenqubo yangempela ye-X-ray. Ingcindezi emelene namabele akho evela kumishini yokuhlola ingadala ubuhlungu noma ukungaphatheki kahle, futhi lokho kuvamile.

Le ngxenye yenqubo kufanele ihlale kuphela imizuzu embalwa. Noma kunjalo, abanye besifazane bezwa ubuhlungu obukhulu ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa. Izinga lakho lobuhlungu lingahluka ngayo yonke i-mammogram oyitholayo kuye ngokuthi:

• ubukhulu bamabele akho
• isikhathi sokuhlolwa maqondana nomjikelezo wakho wokuya esikhathini
• ukuhluka kokuma kwe-mammogram

Uhlela nini i-mammogram yakho

Lapho uhlela i-mammogram yakho, cabanga ngomjikelezo wakho wokuya esikhathini. Isonto ngemuva kokuphela kwesikhathi sakho livame ukuba yisikhathi esihle sokuthola i-mammogram. Gwema ukuhlela ukuhlolwa kwakho kwesonto ngaphambi kwesikhathi sakho. Yilapho amabele akho ezoba mnene kakhulu.

I-American College of Physicians (ACP) incoma ukuthi abesifazane abasengozini enkulu yokuthola ingozi yomdlavuza webele phakathi kweminyaka engama-40-49 kufanele bakhulume nomhlinzeki wabo wezokunakekelwa kwempilo mayelana nokuthi baqale ukuthola ama-mammograms ngaphambi kweminyaka yobudala engama-50.

Lokhu kuncoma ukuthi abesifazane abasengozini yokuthuthukisa umdlavuza webele bahlele uhlelo lwabo lokuqala lwe-mammogram beneminyaka engama-45, benethuba lokuqalisa beneminyaka engama-40.

Ngemuva kweminyaka yobudala engama-45, kufanele uthole i-mammogram okungenani kanye ngonyaka ngenketho yokushintshela kuwo wonke omunye unyaka uneminyaka engama-55.

Ngenkathi izincomo ze-ACP ne-ACS zehluka kancane, isinqumo sokuthi uzowathola nini futhi kangaki ama-mammograms kufanele kube yisinqumo phakathi kwakho nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Uma usengozini ejwayelekile yokuthola umdlavuza webele, kufanele uqale ukukhuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngama-mammograms eneminyaka engama-40.

Uma unomlando womndeni womdlavuza webele, ikakhulukazi umdlavuza webele wokuqala, tshela umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Bangancoma ama-mammograms amaningi kaningi.

Yini ongayilindela ngesikhathi se-mammogram

Ngaphambi kwe-mammogram yakho, ungahle uthande ukuthatha imishanguzo yezinhlungu zasesithenjini, njenge-aspirin (Bayer) noma ibuprofen (Advil), uma umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo enquma ukuthi kuyindlela ephephile ngokuya ngomlando wakho wezokwelapha.

Lokhu kunganciphisa ubungozi bokungahambi kahle ngesikhathi se-mammogram futhi kunciphise ukukhathazeka kamuva.

Lapho ufika ehhovisi lomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo, kuzodingeka uphendule imibuzo ethile mayelana nomlando wakho womndeni kanye nanoma yimaphi ama-mammograms angaphambilini, uma uke waba nawo. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ithimba lezithombe lazi.

Kungenzeka kakhulu, uzothathwa uyiswe egumbini lokulinda elihlukile elenzelwe ngqo abesifazane ukuthola ama-mammograms. Uzolinda lapho kuze kufike isikhathi sokuhlolwa kwakho.

Ngaphambi nje kokuhlolwa kwangempela, kuzodingeka ukhumule kusuka okhalweni kuye phezulu. Umhlengikazi noma uchwepheshe we-X-ray angabeka izitikha ezikhethekile ezindaweni zamabele akho lapho unezimpawu zokuzalwa noma okunye ukumakwa kwesikhumba. Lokhu kuzonciphisa ukudideka uma lezi zindawo zivela ku-mammogram yakho.

Umhlengikazi noma uchwepheshe we-X-ray angafaka nezitikha ezingonweni zakho, ngakho-ke udokotela we-radiologist uyazi ukuthi zimi kuphi lapho zibheka i-mammogram.

Ngemuva kwalokho bazobeka amabele akho, eyodwa ngasikhathi, kupuleti lokufaka izithombe zepulasitiki. Elinye ipuleti lizominyanisa isifuba sakho ngenkathi uchwepheshe ethatha ama-X-ray avela ezinhlangothini eziningana.

Izicubu zesifuba zidinga ukusatshalaliswa ukuze isithombe esivelisiwe sikwazi ukubona ukungahambelani noma izigaxa ezicubu zebele.

Uzothola imiphumela ye-mammogram yakho zingakapheli izinsuku ezingama-30. Uma ngabe kukhona okungajwayelekile kusikena se-X-ray, ungatshelwa ukuthola enye i-mammogram noma olunye uhlobo lokuhlola okwengeziwe.

Ngabe ngizozwa ubuhlungu ngemuva kwenqubo ye-mammogram?

Abanye besifazane babika ukuthi bazizwa bebuhlungu ngemuva kokuthola i-mammogram. Lokhu kuthambeka akufanele kube kubi kakhulu kunanoma yibuphi ubuhlungu obuzwayo ngesikhathi senqubo yangempela ye-X-ray.

Izinga lokudabuka noma ukuzwela okuzwayo ngemuva kwe-mammogram akunakwenzeka ukubikezela. It has a lot to do with:

• ukuma ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa
• ukuma kwamabele akho
• ukubekezelelana kwakho kobuhlungu bomuntu siqu

Abanye besifazane bangaze babe nokulimala okuncane, ikakhulukazi uma benemithi yokuncipha igazi.

Ungathola ukuthi ukugqoka ubhodisi wezemidlalo onameva kukhululeke kakhulu kunokugqoka ubhodisi one-underwire kulo lonke usuku lwe-mammogram yakho.

Kodwa-ke, iningi labesifazane abathola ama-mammograms abezwa buhlungu obulibele nhlobo uma inqubo isiphelile.

Ingabe ikhona eminye imiphumela emibi?

I-mammogram akufanele idale imiphumela emibi ethusayo noma yesikhathi eside ezicutshini zakho zebele.

Njengazo zonke izivivinyo ze-X-ray, i-mammography ikuvezela inani elincane lemisebe. Ngenxa yalokhu, kunempikiswano eqhubekayo mayelana nokuthi abesifazane kufanele bathole kangaki ama-mammograms.

Oncologists bayavuma ukuthi inani lemisebe lincane, futhi izinzuzo zokuhlolwa kusenesikhathi umdlavuza webele zidlula noma iyiphi ingozi noma imiphumela emibi yemisebe.

Nini ukubona umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo

Uma ubona noma yikuphi ukulinyazwa okubonakalayo emabeleni akho noma usazizwa ubuhlungu usuku lonke ngemuva kokuba i-mammogram yakho yenzekile, kufanele wazise umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Lezi zimpawu aziyona imbangela ye-alamu, kepha akukho lutho olungalungile ngokuzwakalisa ulwazi lwakho noma ukungaphatheki kahle ngemuva kwanoma isiphi isifundo sokucabanga.

Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uzothunyelwa imiphumela yesithombe sakho sebele. Isikhungo sezithombe sizokwazisa nangemiphumela. Uma unemibuzo, noma ungakasitholi isaziso semiphumela yocwaningo lwakho, shayela ihhovisi lomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Uma umhlengikazi noma uchwepheshe we-X-ray ebona noma yini engajwayelekile emiphumeleni yakho, bangancoma ukuthi uthole i-mammogram yesibili.

Kunganconywa ne-sonogram yesifuba njengendlela elandelayo yokuhlola. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi uzodinga ukuthi kwenziwe i-biopsy uma ngabe kutholakala okungahambi kahle ku-mammogram yakho.

Uma kungatholakali okungajwayelekile, kufanele uhlele ukubuyela ku-mammogram yakho elandelayo ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezizayo. Kwabesifazane abathile abasengozini ejwayelekile yokuthola umdlavuza webele, ukubuyela eminyakeni emi-2 kungenzeka kulungile.
