Malunga neasteoarthritis

I-Osteoarthritis (OA) yimeko yokudibana echaphazelayo echaphazela uninzi, ngokweZiko loLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC). Imeko kukudumba. Kwenzeka xa intlala ekhusela amalungu ayaphela.

I-Cartilage yinto ye-buffer yeentlobo ezivumela amalungu akho ukuba ahambe kakuhle. Xa intlala iqalisa ukophuka, amathambo akho aphela ephulula kunye xa ushukuma. Ukuxubana kubangela:

• ukudumba
• intlungu
• ukuqina

Uninzi lwezizathu ze-osteoarthritis azikho kulawulo lwakho. Kodwa unokwenza utshintsho kwindlela yokuphila ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokukhula kwe-OA.

Ukuqwalaselwa kobudala

Isifo samathambo yingxaki edityanisiweyo edityaniswa nabantu abadala. Ngokuka, uninzi lwabantu lubonisa iimpawu ze-osteoarthritis xa beneminyaka engama-70 ubudala.

Kodwa i-OA ayikhawulelwanga kubantu abadala. Abantu abadala abancinci banokuba namava anokubonisa i-OA, kubandakanya:

• ukuqina ngokudibeneyo kwasekuseni
• iintlungu ezibuhlungu
• amalungu adibeneyo
• Uluhlu olulinganiselweyo lokuhamba

Abantu abancinci kunokwenzeka ukuba baphuhlise isifo samathambo njengesiphumo esithe ngqo sengozi.

Konke kusapho

I-OA ihlala ibaleka kusapho, ngakumbi ukuba unesiphene kumalungu. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uhlupheke ngenxa yeempawu ze-OA ukuba abazali bakho, ootatomkhulu noomakhulu, okanye abantakwenu banayo le meko.

Ukuba izalamane zakho zineempawu zentlungu edibeneyo, fumana iinkcukacha ngaphambi kokwenza idinga likagqirha. Ukuchongwa kwesifo samathambo kuxhomekeke kakhulu kwimbali yezonyango kunye novavanyo lomzimba.

Ukufunda ngembali yezempilo yosapho lwakho kunokunceda ugqirha wakho ukuba eze nesicwangciso sonyango esifanelekileyo kuwe.

Iindima zesini

Isini sidlala indima kwi-osteoarthritis. Ngokubanzi, uninzi lwabasetyhini kunamadoda lukhulisa iimpawu eziqhubela phambili ze-OA.

Ezi zimbini zesini zikumhlaba olinganayo: phantse inani elilinganayo lesini ngasinye sichaphazeleka sisifo samathambo, kude kube kubudala beminyaka engama-55, ngokuka.

Emva koko, abasetyhini banamathuba okuba ne-OA kunamadoda akwiminyaka efanayo.

Ukulimala kwezemidlalo

Ukulimala ngokwenzakala kwezemidlalo kunokubangela i-osteoarthritis kubantu abadala nabuphi na ubudala. Ukulimala okuqhelekileyo okukhokelela kwi-OA kubandakanya:

• iqhekeza eliqwengiweyo
• amalungu adibeneyo
• ukwenzakala kwemisipha

Ukuhlukumezeka emadolweni okunxulumene nezemidlalo, ezinje nge-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) yeengxaki kunye neenyembezi, zinengxaki ikakhulu. Baye banxulunyaniswa nomngcipheko owandileyo wokukhula kamva kwe-OA, ngokophando olupapashwe kwi.

OA kunye nomsebenzi wakho

Ngamanye amaxesha, into oyenzayo ukuze uphile (okanye into oyithandayo) inokukhokelela kwisifo samathambo. Ngamanye amaxesha i-OA ibizwa ngokuba "sisifo sokuwohloka". Ukuphindaphindeka koxinzelelo kumalungu akho kunokubangela ukuba i-cartilage inxibe ngaphambi kwexesha.

Abantu abenza imisebenzi ethile kwimisebenzi yabo kangangeeyure ngexesha banokubakho ngakumbi ekuphuhliseni iintlungu kunye nokuqina. Oku kubandakanya:

• umsebenzi wezandla
• eguqe ngamadolo
• Ukuqhekeza
• ukunyuka kwezinyuko

Amalungu achaphazeleka ngokuchaphazeleka kwi-OA enxulumene nomsebenzi kubandakanya:

• izandla
• amadolo
• isinqe

Umcimbi onzima

I-Osteoarthritis ichaphazela abantu bayo yonke iminyaka, isini kunye nobukhulu. Nangona kunjalo, umngcipheko wokuphuhlisa imeko uyanda ukuba utyebile.

Ubunzima bomzimba obugqithisileyo bubeka uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo kumalungu akho, ngakumbi:

• amadolo
• isinqe
• umva

I-OA inokubangela nomonakalo we-cartilage, uphawu lweemeko. Ukuba ukhathazekile ngomngcipheko wakho, okanye sele uziva iintlungu ngokudibeneyo, thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nesicwangciso esifanelekileyo sokulahleka kwesisindo.

Ukopha kunye ne-OA

Iimeko zonyango ezibandakanya ukuphuma kwegazi kufutshane nelungu zinokubangela ukuba i-osteoarthritis ibe mandundu okanye kukhule iimpawu ezintsha.

Abantu abanengxaki yokopha i-hemophilia, okanye i-avascular necrosis -ukusweleka kwamathambo ngenxa yokunqongophala kwegazi-banokufumana iimpawu ezinxulumene ne-OA.

Usengozini ye-OA ukuba unolunye uhlobo lwesifo samathambo, esifana negawuthi okanye isifo samathambo.

Yintoni elandelayo elandelayo?

I-Osteoarthritis sisifo esinganyangekiyo kunye nenkqubela phambili yezonyango. Uninzi lwabantu lufumanisa ukuba iimpawu zabo zanda ngokuhamba kwexesha.

Nangona i-OA ingenalo unyango, kukho iindlela ezahlukeneyo zonyango ezikhoyo zokunciphisa iintlungu kunye nokugcina ukuhamba kwakho. Yenza idinga nogqirha wakho ngokukhawuleza xa ukrokrela ukuba unokuba nesifo samathambo.

Unyango lwakwangoko luthetha ixesha elincinci kwiintlungu, kunye nexesha elininzi lokuphila ubomi ngokuzeleyo.
