Yintoni uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali?

Uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali kusetyenziswa i-X-ray ukulinganisa ubungakanani bezimbiwa-ezizezi calcium-emathanjeni akho. Olu vavanyo lubalulekile kubantu abasemngciphekweni we-osteoporosis, ngakumbi abasetyhini kunye nabantu abadala.

Uvavanyo lukwabhekiswa njengamandla amabini e-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Uvavanyo olubalulekileyo lwe-osteoporosis, oluhlobo oluqhelekileyo lwesifo samathambo. I-Osteoporosis ibangela ukuba ithambo lakho liyeke kwaye libe buthathaka ekuhambeni kwexesha kwaye likhokelele ekukhubazeni ukwaphuka.

Yintoni injongo yovavanyo?

Ugqirha wakho unoku-odola uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali ukuba bayakrokrela ukuba amathambo akho aya esiba buthathaka, ubonakalisa iimpawu ze-osteoporosis, okanye sele ufikelele kwiminyaka yobudala xa kufuneka uthintelo lothintelo.

Amaziko kaZwelonke ezeMpilo (NIH) acebisa ukuba aba bantu balandelayo bafumane ukukhuselwa kokuthintela ukuxinana kwamaminerali amathambo:

• bonke abantu basetyhini abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65
• abasetyhini abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-65 abanomngcipheko ophezulu wokuqhekeka

Abasetyhini banomngcipheko okhulayo we-osteoporosis ukuba bayatshaya okanye basebenzise iziselo ezinxilisayo ezintathu nangaphezulu ngosuku. Bakwasemngciphekweni owandayo ukuba:

• isifo esinganyangekiyo sezintso
• ukuya exesheni kwangoko
• ingxaki yokutya ekhokelela kubunzima obuphantsi bomzimba
• Imbali yosapho ye-osteoporosis
• Ukuqhekeka kwethambo (ithambo elaphukileyo elibangelwe yimisebenzi yesiqhelo)
• irheumatoid Arthritis
• ukulahleka kokuphakama okuphawulekayo (uphawu lokunyanzeliswa kwintlambo yomqolo)
• Indlela yokuphila ehleli phantsi ebandakanya imisebenzi encinci yokuthwala ubunzima

Uyilungiselela njani uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali

Uvavanyo lufuna ukulungiswa okuncinci. Uninzi lwezikena zamathambo, awudingi nokuba utshintshe iimpahla zakho. Nangona kunjalo, kuya kufuneka uphephe ukunxiba iimpahla ezinamaqhosha, iifoto, okanye iiziphu kuba isinyithi sinokuphazamisa imifanekiso yeX-ray.

Yenziwa njani?

Uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali alunantlungu kwaye alufuneki kunyango. Ulala nje ebhentshini okanye etafileni ngelixa uvavanyo lusenziwa.

Uvavanyo lunokwenzeka kwiofisi kagqirha wakho, ukuba banezixhobo ezifanelekileyo. Ngaphandle koko, unokuthunyelwa kwindawo ekhethekileyo yokuvavanya. Ezinye iikhemesti kunye neeklinikhi zempilo zikwanabo noomatshini bokuskena abaphathwayo.

Zimbini iintlobo zokuvavanywa kokuxinana kwethambo:

Umbindi we-DXA

Olu scan lubandakanya ukulala phezu kwetafile ngelixa umatshini weX-ray ujonga isinqe sakho, umqolo kunye namanye amathambo omzimba wakho.

Umda we-DXA

Olu scan luvavanya amathambo engalo yakho, isihlahla, iminwe, okanye isithende. Olu scan luhlala lusetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokujonga ukuze ufunde ukuba ufuna i-DXA esembindini. Uvavanyo luthatha kuphela imizuzu embalwa.

Umngcipheko wovavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali

Kuba uvavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali lusebenzisa iX-reyi, kukho umngcipheko omncinci onxulunyaniswa nokuvezwa yimitha. Nangona kunjalo, amanqanaba emitha yovavanyo asezantsi kakhulu. Iingcali ziyavuma ukuba umngcipheko obangelwa kukuvezwa kwemitha usezantsi kakhulu kunomngcipheko wokungafumani osteoporosis ngaphambi kokuba uqhekeke ithambo.

Tshela ugqirha wakho ukuba ukhulelwe okanye ukholelwa ukuba unokukhulelwa. Imitha yeX-reyi ingayenzakalisa imveku yakho.

Emva kovavanyo lokuxinana kwamaminerali

Ugqirha wakho uya kujonga iziphumo zakho zovavanyo. Iziphumo, ekubhekiswe kuzo njengamanqaku e-T, zisekwe kubuninzi beethambo zamaminerali anempilo eneminyaka engama-30 ubudala xa kuthelekiswa nexabiso lakho. Amanqaku e-0 athathwa njengefanelekileyo.

I-NIH ibonelela ngezi zikhokelo zilandelayo zamanqaku oxinano lwamathambo:

• eqhelekileyo: phakathi ko-1 no -1
• ubunzima bethambo: -1 ukuya ku--2.5
• osteoporosis: -2.5 okanye ngaphantsi
• i-osteoporosis ebukhali: -2.5 okanye isezantsi ngamathambo

Ugqirha wakho uza kuxoxa nawe ngeziphumo zakho. Kuxhomekeke kwiziphumo zakho kunye nesizathu sovavanyo, ugqirha wakho unokufuna ukwenza uvavanyo lokulandela. Baza kusebenza nani ukuza nesicwangciso sonyango ukujongana nayo nayiphi na imiba.
