IPterygium

I-pterygium ukukhula kwe-conjunctiva noma ulwelwesi lwamafinyila oluhlanganisa ingxenye emhlophe yeso lakho phezu kwe-cornea. I-cornea yisembozo sangaphambili esicacile sangaphambili. Lokhu kukhula okuyingozi noma okungenasifo somdlavuza kuvame ukwakheka okonjiwa. I-pterygium imvamisa ayibangeli izinkinga noma idinga ukwelashwa, kepha ingasuswa uma iphazamisa umbono wakho.

Kubangelwa yini?

Imbangela ngqo ye-pterygium ayaziwa. Enye incazelo ukuthi ukuchayeka kakhulu ekukhanyeni kwe-ultraviolet (UV) kungaholela kulokhu kukhula. Kwenzeka kaningi kubantu abahlala ezindaweni ezifudumele futhi abachitha isikhathi esiningi bengaphandle ezindaweni ezinelanga noma ezinomoya. Abantu abamehlo abo avele ezintweni ezithile njalo baba nengozi ephezulu yokuthola lesi simo. Lezi zinto zifaka:

• impova
• isihlabathi
• intuthu
• umoya

Ziyini izimpawu?

I-pterygium ayibangeli izimpawu njalo. Uma kwenzeka, izimpawu zivame ukuba mnene. Izimpawu ezijwayelekile zifaka ukubomvu, ukungaboni kahle, nokucasuka kweso. Ungase futhi uzwe umuzwa ovuthayo noma ukulunywa. Uma i-pterygium ikhula ngokwanele ukumboza i-cornea yakho, ingaphazamisa umbono wakho. I-pterygium ejiyile noma emikhulu nayo ingakwenza uzizwe sengathi unento engaziwa esweni lakho. Ungahle ungakwazi ukuqhubeka nokugqoka amalensi oxhumana nawo uma une-pterygium ngenxa yokungaphatheki kahle.

Kubi kangakanani?

I-pterygium ingaholela ekulimaleni okukhulu ku-cornea yakho, kepha lokhu akuvamile. Ukugqashuka ku-cornea kudinga ukwelashwa ngoba kungadala ukulahleka kombono. Ezimweni ezincane, ukwelashwa kuvame ukufaka amaconsi wamehlo noma amafutha okwelapha ukuvuvukala. Ezimweni ezibucayi kakhulu, ukwelashwa kungafaka ukususwa kokuhlinzwa kwe-pterygium.

Kutholakala kanjani?

Ukuhlonza i-pterygium kuqondile. Udokotela wamehlo wakho angaxilonga lesi simo ngokuya ngokuhlolwa komzimba esebenzisa isibani esinqunyiwe. Lesi sibani sivumela udokotela wakho ukuthi abone iso lakho ngosizo lokukhulisa nokukhanyisa okukhanyayo. Uma udokotela wakho edinga ukwenza izivivinyo ezengeziwe, angafaka:

• Ukuhlolwa kwe-acuity ebonakalayo. Lokhu kuhlolwa kuhilela ukufunda izinhlamvu eshadini lamehlo.
• Isimo sendawo saseCorneal. Le ndlela yokwenza imephu yezokwelapha isetshenziselwa ukukala izinguquko ze-curvature ku-cornea yakho.
• Imibhalo yezithombe. Le nqubo ifaka ukuthatha izithombe ukulandelela izinga lokukhula kwe-pterygium.

Ilashwa kanjani?

I-pterygium imvamisa ayidingi ukwelashwa ngaphandle kokuthi ivimbe umbono wakho noma ibangele ukungakhululeki okukhulu. Udokotela wamehlo wakho angahle afune ukuhlola amehlo akho ngezikhathi ezithile ukubona ukuthi ukukhula kubangela izinkinga zombono yini.

Imithi

Uma i-pterygium ibangela ukucasuka okukhulu noma ubomvu, udokotela wakho angakunikeza amaconsi wamehlo noma amafutha okugcoba aqukethe i-corticosteroids ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala.

Ukuhlinzwa

Udokotela wakho angancoma ukuhlinzwa ukuze kususwe i-pterygium uma amaconsi wamehlo noma amafutha kunganikeli ukukhululeka. Ukuhlinzwa kwenziwa futhi lapho i-pterygium ibangela ukulahleka kombono noma isimo esibizwa nge-astigmatism, esingaholela ekuboneni okufiphele. Ungaxoxa futhi ngezinqubo zokuhlinza nodokotela wakho uma ufuna ukuthi i-pterygium isuswe ngezizathu zezimonyo.

Kunezingozi ezimbalwa ezihambisana nale misebenzi. Kwezinye izimo, i-pterygium ingabuya ngemuva kokususwa ngokuhlinzwa. Iso lakho lingazizwa lomile futhi licasukile ngemuva kokuhlinzwa. Udokotela wakho angakunikeza imishanguzo yokunikeza usizo nokunciphisa ubungozi bokuthi i-pterygium ikhule futhi.

Ngingakuvimbela kanjani ukuthola i-pterygium?

Uma kungenzeka, gwema ukuvezwa yizimo zemvelo ezingadala i-pterygium. Ungasiza ukuvimbela ukukhula kwepterygium ngokugqoka izibuko zelanga noma isigqoko ukuvikela amehlo akho elangeni, emoyeni nasothulini. Izibuko zakho zelanga kufanele futhi zinikeze ukuvikelwa emisebeni yelanga ye-ultraviolet (UV). Uma usuvele unayo i-pterygium, ukunciphisa ukuvezwa kwakho kokulandelayo kunganciphisa ukukhula kwayo:

• umoya
• uthuli
• impova
• intuthu
• ukukhanya kwelanga

Ukugwema lezi zimo kungasiza futhi ekuvimbeleni ama-pterygiums ukuthi angabuyi uma ngabe kukhona okususiwe.
