Unokuwunciphisa umngcipheko

Iingcali zithi iipesenti ezingama-50 zayo yonke imihlaza yomhlaza yase-U.S inokuthintelwa ukuba abantu bebenokuthatha amanyathelo asisiseko ukunciphisa iingozi zabo. Uvavanyo lomngcipheko lomntu olwenzelwe i-12 yomhlaza oqhelekileyo, gcwalisa iphepha lemibuzo elifutshane kwi-Intanethi- "Umngcipheko Wakho Womhlaza" - kwiziko leWebhusayithi laseHarvard lokuKhusela uMhlaza, www.yourcancerrisk.harvard.edu. Emva koko ucofe kutshintsho olucetyiswayo lwendlela yokuphila kwaye ubukele umngcipheko wakho wehla. Umzekelo, ukuthoba kakhulu amathuba okuba ufumane umhlaza womlomo wesibeleko, ungatshayi, fumana uvavanyo lwePap rhoqo, unciphise amaqabane owabelana ngesondo kunye nokusebenzisa iikhondom okanye i-diaphragm. -- M.E.S.

Ukuncancisa kuthintela umhlaza wamabele

Ukonga umntwana unyaka wonke kunokuwunciphisa umhlaza webele malunga neepesenti ezingama-50, xa kuthelekiswa nabasetyhini abangazange bancancise, abaphandi beYale University School of Medicine baxela.

Yeyiphi ipilisi ethintela ngcono umhlaza?

Izicwangcisi ezithathwa ngomlomo, ukukhulelwa kunye nokuncancisa zonke zinciphisa umngcipheko womhlaza we-ovarian, mhlawumbi ngokucinezela i-ovulation. Ngoku, isifundo seDuke University Medical Centre sikhanyisa indlela enye i-OC enokulwa ngayo nesi sifo: Iprogestin (uhlobo lweprogesterone) eziqulethwe yiyo inokwenza iiseli ezinomhlaza kwii-ovari zizonakalise. Abasetyhini abathathe ipilisi iinyanga ezintathu okanye nangaphezulu babenamaqondo asezantsi e-ovarian-cancer kunabantu abangasebenzisi bona, kodwa abasetyhini abathathe iintlobo eziphezulu zeprogestin (njengo-Ovulen noDemulen) banciphisa umngcipheko wabo ophindwe kabini kunabo bathatha iprogestin ephantsi iintlobo (njenge-Enovid-E kunye ne-Ovcon). Umxholo we-Estrogen akenzanga mahluko. -- D.P.L.

Ubisi: yenza ikholoni elungileyo

Abantu abasela olona bisi luninzi lwalo naluphi na uhlobo (ngaphandle kobisi lwebhotolo) bekunokwenzeka kancinci ukuba babe nomhlaza wekoloni kwithuba leminyaka engama-24, uhlalutyo malunga ne-10,000 yemikhwa yokusela ubisi yaseYurophu yafunyanwa. Abaphandi baphetha ngokuthi ukukhuselwa kwakungekho ngenxa ye-calcium okanye i-vitamin D ebisi kwaye kucingelwa ukuba i-lactose (iswekile yobisi) inokukhuthaza ukukhula kweebhaktheriya ezinobungane ezinceda ukukhusela umhlaza. -K.
