Ungamxelela njani ukuba umntwana wakho une-Down syndrome

Umxholo

• Uvavanyo lokuqonda isifo ngexesha lokukhulelwa
• Njani na isifo emva kokuzalwa

Ukuxilongwa kwe-Down Syndrome kunokwenziwa ngexesha lokukhulelwa ngokusebenzisa iimvavanyo ezithile ezinje nge-nuchal translucency, cordocentesis kunye ne-amniocentesis, ekungafuneki ukuba wonke umntu okhulelweyo ayenze, kodwa edla ngokucetyiswa yingcali yokubelekisa xa umama engaphezulu kweminyaka engama-35 okanye xa umfazi okhulelweyo une-Down syndrome.

Olu vavanyo lunokuyalelwa kwakhona xa umfazi sele enomntwana one-Down's Syndrome, ukuba ugqirha obona ugqirha ubona naluphi na utshintsho kwi-ultrasound olukhokelela ekubeni akrokrele isifo okanye ukuba utata womntwana unalo naluphi na utshintsho olunxulumene ne-chromosome 21.

Ukukhulelwa komntwana one-Down syndrome kuyafana ncam nosana olungenayo le-syndrome, nangona kunjalo, iimvavanyo ezingaphezulu ziyafuneka ukuvavanya impilo yokukhula komntwana, ekufuneka ibengaphantsi kancinci kwaye ibe nobunzima obuncinci usana.

Uvavanyo lokuqonda isifo ngexesha lokukhulelwa

Uvavanyo olunika ukuchaneka okungama-99% kwisiphumo kwaye lusebenzela ukulungiselela abazali ukwamkelwa komntwana one-Down Syndrome zezi:

• Ukuqokelelwa kwe-chorionic villi, enokwenziwa kwiveki ye-9 yokukhulelwa kwaye inokususwa kwesixa esincinci se-placenta, esinezixhobo zofuzo ezifanayo nezomntwana;
• Iprofayile ye-biochemical ye-maternal, eqhutywa phakathi kweveki ye-10 neye-14 yokukhulelwa kwaye ineemvavanyo ezilinganisa isixa seprotein kunye nenani le-beta hCG hormone eveliswe ekukhulelweni yiplacenta kunye nosana;
• I-Nuchal translucency, enokuthi ibonakaliswe kwiveki ye-12 yokukhulelwa kwaye ijonge ukulinganisa ubude bentamo yomntwana;
• I-Amniocentesis, equka ukuthatha isampuli ye-amniotic fluid kwaye inokwenziwa phakathi kwe-13 neye-16 iveki yokukhulelwa;
• I-Cordocentesis, ehambelana nokuthathwa kwesampulu yegazi elusaneni ngentambo kwaye inokwenziwa kwiveki ye-18 yokukhulelwa.

Xa besazi ukuxilongwa kufanelekile kukuba abazali bajonge ulwazi malunga nesifo ukuze bazi ukuba balindele ntoni ekukhuleni komntwana one-Down Syndrome. Fumana iinkcukacha ezithe vetshe ngeempawu kunye nonyango oluyimfuneko kwi: Bunjani ubomi emva koxilongo lwe-Down Syndrome.

Usana olune-Down Syndrome

Njani na isifo emva kokuzalwa

Ukuxilongwa emva kokuzalwa kunokwenziwa emva kokujonga iimpawu umntwana anazo, ezinokubandakanya:

• Omnye umgca kwijwabu leso, elibashiya livaleke ngakumbi lize litsalwe ecaleni nangaphezulu;
• Ngu-1 kuphela umgca entendeni yesandla, nangona abanye abantwana abangenayo i-Down's Syndrome nabo banazo ezi mpawu;
• Umdibaniso wamashiya;
• Impumlo ebanzi;
• Iflethi ubuso;
• Ulwimi olukhulu, umlomo ophakamileyo kakhulu;
• Iindlebe ezisezantsi nezincinci;
• Izinwele ezibhityileyo nezibhityileyo;
• Iminwe emifutshane, kunye nepinki inokugoba;
• Umgama omkhulu phakathi kweenzwane ezinkulu zeminye iminwe;
• Intamo ebanzi ngamafutha aqokelelweyo;
• Ubuthathaka bemisipha yomzimba wonke;
• Ukunciphisa ukuzuza ubunzima;
• Unokuba ne-hernia ye-umbilical;
• Umngcipheko ophezulu wesifo se-celiac;
• Kunokubakho ukwahlulwa kwemisipha ye-rectus abdominis, eyenza ukuba isisu sibe ngaphezulu.

Iimpawu ezithe kratya zomntwana, kokukhona amathuba okuba ne-Down syndrome, nangona kunjalo, malunga neepesenti ezi-5 zabemi nazo zinazo ezi mpawu kwaye ukuba inye kuphela kuzo akusibonisi esi sifo. Ke ngoko, kubalulekile ukuba kwenziwe uvavanyo lwegazi ukuchonga utshintsho kwesi sifo.

Ezinye izinto zesi sifo zibandakanya ubukho besifo sentliziyo, esinokufuna utyando kunye nokwanda komngcipheko wosulelo lwendlebe, kodwa umntu ngamnye uneenguqu zakhe kwaye yiyo loo nto lonke usana olunesi sifo kufuneka lulandelwe ngugqirha wabantwana, ukongeza ugqirha wezifo zentliziyo, ugqirha wemiphunga, ugqirha wezomzimba kunye nonyango lwentetho.

Abantwana abane-Down Syndrome nabo banamava okulibaziseka kophuhliso lwe-psychomotor kwaye baqala ukuhlala, ukukhasa nokuhamba, mva kunokuba bekulindelwe. Ukongeza, ihlala inokudodobala kwengqondo okunokwahluka ukusuka kubumnene ukuya kubunzima kakhulu, obunokuqinisekiswa ngophuhliso lwayo.

Bukela le vidiyo ilandelayo kwaye ufunde indlela yokukhuthaza ukukhula komntwana one-Down syndrome:

Umntu one-Down Syndrome unokuba nezinye iingxaki zempilo ezinje ngeswekile, i-cholesterol, i-triglycerides, njengaye nawuphi na umntu, kodwa usenokuba ne-autism okanye esinye isifo ngaxeshanye, nangona singaqhelekanga kakhulu.
