• Uphengululo lwe

Kunyaka ophelileyo ngethuba loviwo lwam lonyaka, xa bendikhalaza kugqirha wam nge-PMS yam eyoyikisayo, wakhawuleza wakhupha iphedi yakhe wandinika ipilisi yolawulo lokuzalwa kwepilisi uYaz. "Uyakuyithanda le nto," utshilo. "Zonke izigulana zam ezikuyo zicinga ukuba zezona zilungileyo. Kwaye kuye kwanceda abanye babo ukuba banciphise umzimba!"

I-PMS encinci kwaye ukungabi naxhala malunga nobunzima bam? Ndathengiswa, nangona bendizimisele kuphela ukuthetha naye malunga nendlela yokuphila kunye / okanye uhlengahlengiso lokutya ukusukela oko iimfuno zam zolawulo lokuzalwa bezikhathalelwe. Ngaphambi kokuba ndiyeke ekhemesti, nangona kunjalo, ndakhangela ipilisi kwi-intanethi (Ukubonisa uGqirha uGoogle!). Iziphumo bezinayo nantoni na ngaphandle kothando-uthando endandithembisiwe ngalo. Enyanisweni, inkcazelo endayifumanayo yandoyikisa kakhulu kangangokuba andizange ndiyizalise loo myalelo kagqirha.

Ngokukhawuleza kwacaca ukuba ayindim ndedwa umfazi ochaphazelekayo xa uYaz kunye nepilisi yodade uYazmin, ezimbini zeepilisi ezaziwa kakhulu kwintengiso, zeza kuhlaziywa yi-FDA emva kweengxelo zokuba umenzi wayenokuzifihla kwaye anciphise impilo ebalulekileyo umngcipheko. Kodwa ngaba i-hysteria ifanelekile?

Uphononongo lukaNovemba ka-2011 lufumene ukuba iipilisi eziqukethe i-drospirenone, kuquka i-Yaz kunye ne-Yazmin, zineepesenti ezingama-43 ukuya kwi-65-ipesenti ephezulu yomngcipheko we-blood clots kuneentlobo zangaphambili zeepilisi zokulawula ukuzalwa. Oku, kudityaniswe neengxelo ezixhaphakileyo zeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga kwi-Intanethi, kwanyanzeleka i-FDA ukuba ijonge kwakhona. NgoDisemba ngo-2011 iphaneli engaphandle egunyaziswe yi-FDA yagweba ukuba amachiza kancinci kunokubangela amahlwili egazi kodwa abe ekhuselekile ukusetyenziswa gabalala.

"Kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba zonke izinto zokucwangcisa zomlomo zinxulunyaniswa nomngcipheko wamahlwili egazi," utshilo uGqirha Susan Solymoss weYunivesithi yaseMcGill eMontreal kuhlelo olupapashwe kolu phononongo. Kwaye xa kuthelekiswa neepilisi, "ukukhulelwa kuyingozi enkulu yamahlwili egazi."

Sekunjalo, impikiswano iyaqhubeka njengoko iqela lokubukela libiza i-FDA ukuba iphinde iqwalasele emva kokuba kufunyenwe ukuba amalungu amane ephaneli ye-26 ayenobudlelwane kunye nomenzi we-Yaz kunye ne-Yazmin. Kufuneka wenze ntoni ukuba ngoku uthatha ezi pilisi? Oogqirha bathi umngcipheko wokujiya uphezulu kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala, ngoko ke ukuba uhleli kubo kangangexesha elithile kwaye awunayo eminye imingcipheko efana nokutshaya-ke ulungile. Okwangoku, kuya kufuneka usoloko uthetha nogqirha wethu malunga nayiphi na inkxalabo onayo malunga nolawulo lwakho lokuzalwa.
