Ngaba i-hepatitis C ingasasazeka ngokudibana ngokwesondo?

IHepatitis C sisifo sesifo esosulelayo esibangelwa yintsholongwane ye-hepatitis C (HCV). Esi sifo sinokugqithiselwa komnye umntu.

Njengosulelo oluninzi, i-HCV ihlala egazini nakulwelo lomzimba. Unokufumana i-hepatitis C ngokudibana ngqo negazi lomntu osulelekileyo. Inokudluliselwa ngokudibana nolwelo lomzimba kubandakanya amathe okanye incindi yomntu osulelekileyo, kodwa oku kunqabile.

Abaphandi bafumanise ukuba isi-1 kwizihlandlo ezili-190,000 zokunxibelelana ngokwesini esahlukileyo kwabangela ukuhanjiswa kwe-HCV. Abathathi-nxaxheba kolu phando babekwiintlobano zesini nomntu omnye.

I-HCV inokuthi isasazeke kunxibelelwano ngokwesondo ukuba:

• ube namaqabane amaninzi owabelana nawo ngesondo
• bathathe inxaxheba kwisini esirhabaxa, esinokubangela ulusu olophukileyo okanye ukopha
• sukusebenzisa ukhuselo lwezithintelo, njengeekhondom okanye amadama amazinyo
• sukusebenzisa ukukhuselwa kwesithintelo ngokufanelekileyo
• unesifo esosulela ngokwabelana ngesondo okanye i-HIV

Ngaba unokufumana i-hepatitis C kwisini somlomo?

Akukho bungqina bokuba i-HCV ingasasazeka ngesondo lomlomo. Nangona kunjalo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba igazi likho kumntu opha okanye ofumana isondo ngomlomo.

Umzekelo, umngcipheko omncinci unokubakho ukuba kukho oku kulandelayo:

• igazi lokuya exesheni
• iintsini ezophayo
• usulelo lomqala
• izilonda ezibandayo
• izilonda zomngqungqo
• iintsumpa zangasese
• nakuphi na okunye ukuqhekeka kolusu kwiindawo ezichaphazelekayo

Nangona ukuhanjiswa ngokwesondo kunqabile ngokubanzi, i-HCV inokubanakho ukusasazeka ngokwabelana ngesondo ezimpundu kunesondo lomlomo. Kungenxa yokuba izicubu ezixandekileyo zinokudiliza ngexesha lokwabelana ngesondo.

Isasazeka njani enye ihepatitis C?

Ngokutsho kweSebe lezeMpilo laseMelika kunye neenkonzo zoLuntu, ukwabelana ngenaliti yeyona ndlela ixhaphakileyo yokuba umntu abe nesivumelwano ne-hepatitis C.

Iindlela ezingaqhelekanga eziqhelekileyo zibandakanya ukusebenzisa iimveliso zempilo yomntu osulelekileyo, ezinje:

• iincakuba
• iibhrashi zamazinyo
• izikhonkwane zezikhonkwane

Intsholongwane ayinakosasazeka ngokudibana nje, njengokwabelana ngekomityi okanye izitya zokutya nomntu osulelekileyo. Ukuwolana, ukubambana ngezandla, kunye nokwanga nako akuyi kusasazeka. Awunakho ukuyibamba intsholongwane kumntu one-hepatitis C ethimla okanye akhohlele kuwe.

Ukuncancisa

Ukuncancisa akuyisasazeli le ntsholongwane emntwaneni, kodwa abantwana abazelwe ngabasetyhini abosuleleke yile ntsholongwane kunokwenzeka ukuba banentsholongwane. Ukuba umama wosulelwe yi-hepatitis C, kukho ithuba elinye kwamashumi amabini anesihlanu lokuba ayidlulisele kuye le ntsholongwane.

Ukuba utata une-hepatitis C, kodwa umama akosuleleki, ngekhe ayidlulisele emntwaneni le ntsholongwane. Kungenzeka ukuba utata angadlulisela intsholongwane kunina, enokuthi yosulele umntwana.

Ingaba umntwana uhanjiswa ngesondo okanye ngokuhanjiswa kwe -arearean akuchaphazeli umngcipheko wokufumana intsholongwane.

Ngubani osemngciphekweni we-hepatitis C?

Abantu abaye batofa iziyobisi ezingekho mthethweni basemngciphekweni omkhulu.

Intsholongwane kaGawulayo kunye ne-hepatitis C yinto eqhelekileyo. Naphi na ukusuka kubantu abasebenzisa iziyobisi ze-IV kwaye bane-HIV nabo bane-hepatitis C. Oku kungenxa yokuba zombini ezi meko zinobungozi obufanayo, kubandakanya nokwabelana ngenaliti kunye nokwabelana ngesondo ngokungakhuselekanga.

Ukuba utofelwe igazi, iimveliso zegazi, okanye ukufakelwa ilungu ngaphambi kukaJuni 1992, unokuba semngciphekweni weHCV. Ngaphambi kweli xesha, iimvavanyo zegazi zazingathathi ntweni kwi-HCV, ngenxa yoko kunokwenzeka ukuba ufumane igazi elosulelekileyo okanye izicwili. Abo bafumana izinto ezijiyisayo ngaphambi kowe-1987 nabo basemngciphekweni.

Indlela yokunciphisa umngcipheko we-hepatitis C

Iyeza lokuthintela i-HCV alikho okwangoku. Kodwa kukho iindlela zokuthintela usulelo.

Iingcebiso ngokubanzi zothintelo

Yeka ukuzibandakanya ekusebenziseni iziyobisi nge-IV kwaye ulumke ngazo zonke iinkqubo ezibandakanya iinaliti.

Umzekelo, akufuneki wabelane ngeenaliti ezisetyenziselwa ukwenza umvambo, ukugqobhoza, okanye ukwenza iacupuncture. Izixhobo kufuneka zihlale zicocisiswe ngononophelo ukhuseleko. Ukuba wenza enye yezi nkqubo kwelinye ilizwe, soloko uqinisekisa ukuba izixhobo ziyabulala iintsholongwane.

Izixhobo ezingenazintsholongwane kufuneka zisetyenziswe kwindawo yezonyango okanye yamazinyo.

Iingcebiso zokuthintela ukosulela ngesondo

Ukuba usabelana ngesondo nomntu one-hepatitis C, zikhona iindlela onokuthi uthintele ukosulelwa yintsholongwane. Ngokufanayo, ukuba unayo intsholongwane, unokukuphepha ukosulela abanye.

Amanyathelo ambalwa onokuwathatha ukunciphisa amathuba okusasazeka ngokwesondo kubandakanya:

• ukusebenzisa ikhondom ngalo lonke ixesha usabelana ngesondo, kubandakanya isondo lomlomo
• ukufunda ukusebenzisa zonke izixhobo zokuthintela ngokuchanekileyo ukunqanda ukukrazula okanye ukukrazula ngexesha lokwabelana ngesondo
• ukuxhathisa ukuzibandakanya ngokwesondo xa elinye iqabane lisikiwe okanye linenxeba kwilungu labo lobuni
• ukuvavanyelwa ii-STIs kunye nokucela amaqabane esondo ukuba nawo avavanywe
• ukuziqhelanisa nokuba nesondo nomntu omnye
• usebenzisa izilumkiso ezongezelelekileyo ukuba une-HIV, njengoko ithuba lakho lokosulelwa yi-HCV liphezulu kakhulu ukuba une-HIV

Ukuba une-hepatitis C, kuya kufuneka uthembeke kuwo onke amaqabane ezesondo malunga nenqanaba lakho. Oku kuqinisekisa ukuba nobabini nithatha amanyathelo afanelekileyo okuthintela usulelo.

Ukuvavanywa

Ukuba ucinga ukuba uvezwe kwi-HCV, kubalulekile ukuba uvavanywe. Uvavanyo lwe-hepatitis C lwe-antibody, ekwabizwa ngokuba luvavanyo lwe-HCV, lilinganisa igazi lomntu ukubona ukuba ikhe yanayo na intsholongwane. Ukuba umntu ukhe wosulelwa yi-HCV, umzimba wakhe uya kwenza ii-antibodies zokulwa intsholongwane. Uvavanyo lwe-anti-HCV lukhangela ezi ntsholongwane.

Ukuba umntu uvavanyelwe ukuba anaso isifo kwii-antibodies, oogqirha bahlala becebisa iimvavanyo ezingaphezulu ukubona ukuba ngaba lo mntu une-hepatitis C. esebenzayo Uvavanyo lubizwa ngokuba luvavanyo lwe-RNA okanye lwe-PCR.

Kufuneka utyelele ugqirha wakho rhoqo ukuze uhlolwe i-STI ukuba uyabelana ngesondo. Ezinye iintsholongwane kunye nosulelo, kubandakanya i-hepatitis C, ayinakho ukubangela iimpawu kwiiveki ezimbalwa emva kokuvezwa. Ngexesha elithathayo lokuba intsholongwane ibonakalise ukuba ungumqondiso, ungayisasaza kwiqabane lakho owabelana nalo ngesondo ungazi.

Umgca wezantsi

Abantu abamalunga ne-3.2 e-United States bane-HCV. Inani elikhulu labo abazi ukuba banalo, kuba abanamava eempawu. Ngeli xesha, banokudlulisela intsholongwane kumaqabane abo. Kwaye nangona ukudibana ngokwesondo kungeyona ndlela iqhelekileyo yokuba umntu afumane i-hepatitis C, kunokwenzeka.

Kubalulekile ukuba ucele amaqabane akho owabelana nawo ngesondo ukuba avavanywe rhoqo kwaye abelane ngesondo ngokukhuselekileyo ngokusebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo ukhuseleko, njengeikhondom. Ukuvavanya rhoqo kunye nokwabelana ngesondo okukhuselekileyo kuya kukunceda ugcine amaqabane akho owabelana nawo ngesondo ekhuselekile kwaye usempilweni.
