Ubuhlungu besikhathi: Yinto nje thina njengabantu besifazane esiyemukele, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-cramping, izinkinga ezingezansi, noma ukungakhululeki kwebele. Kepha okwakamuva-ukuthi isisa, ukuqaqamba nokuzizwa okuphelele kobunzima emabeleni ethu okuza njengewashi-okudinga incazelo ngempela. Futhi, mfana, sithole eyodwa. (Okokuqala, Kuchazwa Izigaba Zakho Zokuya Esikhathini!)

Lobo buhlungu be-cyclical obungena ngaphambi kokuqala kwesikhathi-noma phakathi nesikhathi esisodwa-empeleni baziwa ngokuthi yi-fibrocystic breast condition (FBC), futhi buthinta amaphesenti angu-72 abesifazane ngokusho kocwaningo lwakamuva, kusho u-Lee Shulman, MD, umphathi wesigaba se-genetics yomtholampilo emnyangweni wezokubelethisa nowabesifazane eFeinberg School of Medicine eNorthwestern University. Njengoba kuthinta inani eliphakeme kangaka labesifazane, kuyamangaza ukuthi kuyaqabukela kukhulunywa ngakho-iningi labesifazane alikaze lizwe nangalo. Nakhu odinga ukukwazi ukuze ekugcineni uthole ukukhululeka.

Kwenzenjani?

I-FBC-AKA PMS Breasts-iza njengewashi, futhi uma isikhathi sakho sibikezelwa kahle, u-Shulman uthi kungenzeka ukwazi ukulindela ukuqala kobuhlungu. Futhi asikhulumi ngokuncane ukungakhululeki lapha nalaphaya. UShulman uthi isibalo esikhulu sabesifazane sithola izinhlungu eziqeda amandla, ezanele ukuze beqe umsebenzi. Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe nguHarris Poll egameni leBioPharmX luthole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-45 abesifazane avika noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuzivocavoca umzimba, amaphesenti angama-44 enqaba ukuya ocansini, kanti amaphesenti angama-22 ngeke aze ahambe.

Kungani Kwenzeka

Izinguquko zemvelo ze-hormonal ngaphakathi komjikelezo wakho wokuya esikhathini kungenzeka ukuthi ziyimbangela yobuhlungu, kuchaza uShulman, noma kungenzeka futhi ukuthi kungenxa yezinguquko zehomoni ezenzeka ngenxa yokulawulwa kokuzalwa kwakho. Labo abasebenzisa izindlela zokuvimbela inzalo ngamahomoni, njengePilisi, indandatho yesitho sangasese sowesifazane, kanye nesikhumba sesikhumba, kungenzeka bathinteke kakhulu kunalabo abakhetha okungezona okwama-steroidal nabangewona ama-hormone.

Okufanele ngikwenze

Ngokudabukisayo, lokho kuhlola kwathola ukuthi amaphesenti angama-42 abesifazane abahlangabezana ne-FBC abenzi lutho ngakho ngoba bacabanga ukuthi "yingxenye yokuba ngowesifazane." Vele uthi cha kulowo mkhakha wokucabanga, ngoba wena can thola ukukhululeka. UShulman uthi ukuthatha imishanguzo ye-over-the-counter (OTC), njenge-acetaminophen, ngaphambi nje kokuqala kobuhlungu (uma umjikelezo wakho ubikezela) noma lapho uqala ukuzwa kungasiza ekunciphiseni izimpawu (vele uqiniseke ukuthi ulandela izinkomba zomthamo ebhodleleni ngakho awuthathi kakhulu). Noma ungakhuluma no-ob-gyn wakho mayelana nokushintsha indlela yakho yokulawula inzalo. "Okuthile okungewona ama-steroidal futhi okungewona ama-hormone kuvame kakhulu ekunciphiseni ubuhlungu besifuba," esho. (Le yindlela Yokuthola Ukulawulwa Kokuzalwa Okungcono Kakhulu Kuwe.)

Ngemuva kwalokho, kumayelana nokuthola okukusebenzelayo. "Abanye besifazane basabela kahle kubhodisi ofakwa kangcono, kanti abanye bathola ukukhululeka ngokunciphisa inani lokusetshenziswa kwe-caffeine," kuchaza yena. "Ungaphinda uzame isithasiselo se-iodine yamangqamuzana e-OTC, ucwaningo olukhombisile ukuthi lungasiza, ikakhulukazi ngoba i-World Health Organisation (WHO) ilinganisela ukuthi abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili abanayo i-iodine. Isengezo sisekelwe ohlelweni lwe-chain ngaphakathi kwe-FBC futhi. , ngakho-ke kuya ngqo kumbangela yobuhlungu ukuze ngethemba ukukunikeza ukukhululeka ngokushesha." Uma ama-supplements engeyona into yakho, noma kunjalo, ungazama futhi ukukhuphula i-iodine yakho ngokufaka ezinye izimila zasolwandle, amaqanda, kanye nokudla kwasolwandle ekudleni kwakho, njengoba konke kuqukethe amazinga aphezulu ento.

Futhi ekupheleni kosuku, u-Shulman uthi kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi i-FBC ngokuvamile ihlotshaniswa nomjikelezo wobuhlungu obungabikezelwa. Ngakho-ke uma uphuma ingono, uzwa isigaxa, noma uqaphela ukuthi ubuhlungu bushintshile nganoma iyiphi indlela (i-FBC ivame ukuzwa inyanga nenyanga, uthi), hlela ukuvakashela nodokotela wakho ukuze akhiphe ezinye izinkinga.
