Mayelana nomdlavuza womlomo

Abantu abalinganiselwa ku-49,670 bazotholakala benomdlavuza womlomo womlomo noma umdlavuza we-oropharyngeal ngo-2017, ngokusho kwe-American Cancer Society. Futhi angu-9 700 ala macala azobulala.

Umdlavuza womlomo ungathinta noma yiziphi izingxenye ezisebenzayo zomlomo wakho noma umlomo womlomo, okubandakanya:

• izindebe
• izicubu ezibeka izindebe nezihlathi
• amazinyo
• ngaphambili izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zolimi (ingxenye yesithathu yolimi, noma isisekelo, kubhekwa njengengxenye ye-oropharynx, noma umphimbo)
• izinsini
• indawo yomlomo ngaphansi kolimi, ebizwa ngokuthi iphansi
• uphahla lomlomo

Kufanele ukhathazeke nini ngeqhubu, ukuqaqamba, noma ukuvuvukala emlonyeni wakho? Nakhu okufanele ukubheke.

Izithombe zomdlavuza womlomo

Isiqephu senkinga

Amaseli ayizicaba amboza ingaphezulu lomlomo wakho, ulimi nezindebe abizwa ngokuthi ama-squamous cells. Iningi lomdlavuza womlomo uqala kulawa maseli. Isiqephu solimi lwakho, izinsini, amalaka, noma ulwelwesi lomlomo wakho kungakhombisa inkinga.

Isiqephu esimhlophe noma esibomvu emlonyeni wakho noma ezindebeni zakho kungaba uphawu olungaba khona lwe-squamous cell carcinoma.

Kunobubanzi obuhlukahlukene bokuthi umdlavuza womlomo ungabukeka futhi uzwakale kanjani. Isikhumba singazizwa sijiyile noma siqhuqha, noma kungaba nesilonda esiqhubekayo noma ukuguguleka. Okubalulekile ukuthi uqaphele isimo esiphikelelayo salokhu okungahambi kahle. Izilonda ezingenomdlavuza zivame ukuxazululwa emasontweni ambalwa.

Amachashazi abomvu namhlophe ahlanganisiwe

Ingxube yamachashazi abomvu namhlophe emlonyeni wakho, abizwa ngokuthi i-erythroleukoplakia, ukukhula okungajwayelekile kwamangqamuzana okungenzeka kube nomdlavuza. Uma amabala abomvu namhlophe ehlala isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto amabili, kufanele ubone udokotela wamazinyo wakho. Ungayibona le milomo ingajwayelekile ngaphambi kokuthi uyizwe. Ezigabeni zokuqala, umdlavuza womlomo ungadala ubuhlungu.

Amachashazi abomvu

Amachashazi abomvu abomvu emlonyeni wakho abukeka futhi azwakale njengevelvety abizwa nge-erythroplakia. Imvamisa ziyashesha.

Ku, i-erythroplakia inomdlavuza, ngakho-ke unganaki noma yiziphi izindawo ezinemibala egqamile emlonyeni wakho. Uma une-erythroplakia, udokotela wamazinyo uzothatha i-biopsy yala maseli.

Amachashazi amhlophe

Isiqephu esimhlophe noma esimpunga emlonyeni wakho noma ezindebeni zakho sibizwa ngokuthi i-leukoplakia, noma i-keratosis. Ukucasulwa okufana nezinyo elibi, amazinyo okufakelwa aphukile noma ugwayi kungadala ukukhula kweseli kukhiqize lezi ziqeshana.

Umkhuba wokuhlafuna ingaphakathi lesihlathi noma izindebe zakho kungaholela nase-leukoplakia. Ukuchayeka ezintweni ze-carcinogenic nakho kungadala ukuthi lezi ziqeshana zikhule.

Lawa ma-patches akhombisa ukuthi isicubu asijwayelekile futhi singaba sibi. Kodwa-ke, ezimweni eziningi kuzoba mnandi. Ama-patches angaba lukhuni futhi abe nzima futhi kube nzima ukuwasusa. ILeukoplakia ivame ukukhula kancane, isikhathi esingamasonto noma izinyanga.

Izilonda olimini lwakho

Ungayithola i-erythroplakia noma kuphi emlonyeni wakho, kepha kwenzeka kakhulu phansi komlomo ngaphansi kolimi noma ezinsinini zakho ngemuva kwamazinyo akho emuva.

Hlola umlomo wakho ngokucophelela kanye ngenyanga ukuthola noma yiziphi izimpawu zokungajwayelekile. Sebenzisa isibuko esikhulisa ngaphansi kokukhanya okukhanyayo ukuze uthole umbono ocacile.

Khipha ulimi lwakho ngobumnene ngeminwe ehlanzekile bese uhlola ngaphansi. Bheka izinhlangothi zolimi lwakho nezibilini zezihlathi zakho, bese uhlola izindebe zakho ngaphakathi nangaphandle.

Izilonda zasemanzini: Zibuhlungu, kodwa azinabungozi

Yazi ukuthi uhlukanisa kanjani isilonda somkhuhlane entweni ebucayi kakhulu. Isilonda somlomo ngaphakathi komlomo wakho sivame ukusha, sitinyise noma siphume ngaphambi kokuba sibonakale. Ezigabeni zokuqala, umdlavuza womlomo kuyaqabukela ubangele noma yibuphi ubuhlungu. Ukukhula kwamaseli okungavamile kuvame ukuvela njengamachashazi acabalele.

Isilonda somkhuhlane sibukeka njengesilonda, imvamisa sinesifo sokudangala enkabeni. Maphakathi kwesilonda se-canker kungahle kubonakale kumhlophe, mpunga, noma kuphuzi, futhi imiphetho ibomvu.

Izilonda zamankankankomo zivame ukuba buhlungu, kepha azinabungozi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ababi nomdlavuza. Izilonda zamankankane zivame ukuphola kungakapheli amasonto amabili, ngakho-ke noma yikuphi okubuhlungu, isigaxa, noma indawo emlonyeni wakho okuhlala isikhathi eside kudinga ukuhlolwa kobuchwepheshe.

Yenza ubungane nodokotela wamazinyo wakho

Ukuhlolwa njalo kwamazinyo kabili ngonyaka kuyithuluzi elibalulekile lokuhlola umdlavuza. Lokhu kuvakasha kunikeza udokotela wamazinyo wakho ithuba lokuthola noma yiziphi izimpawu zomdlavuza womlomo ezigabeni zokuqala. Ukwelashwa ngokushesha kunciphisa amathuba okuthi amangqamuzana angaphambi kwesikhathi abe yingozi.

Unganciphisa nengozi yokuba nomdlavuza womlomo ngokugwema imikhiqizo kagwayi, kufaka phakathi "ukudipha" noma "ukuhlafuna" nogwayi, konke okuxhunywe kumdlavuza womlomo.
