Yintoni ii-lymph node?

Iimpawu ze-lymph zibekwe kuwo wonke umzimba wakho kwiindawo ezinjengeengalo zakho, phantsi komhlathi wakho, nasemacaleni entamo yakho.

Ezi ndidi zimilise okweembotyi zenyama yakho zikhusela umzimba wakho kusulelo kwaye zihluza ulwelo olucacileyo, olubizwa ngokuba yi-lymph, ejikeleza ngenkqubo yakho ye-lymphatic. I-lymph iqulethe inani elikhulu leeseli ezimhlophe ezikhusela umzimba wakho kwiintsholongwane kunye neentsholongwane.

I-lymph nodes ezidumbileyo

Ngokurhola iintsholongwane kunye neebhaktiriya, ii-lymph node zithintela ukusasazeka kwezinye iindawo zomzimba wakho kwaye zibangele ukugula. Xa ii-lymph node zakho zidumbile, sisalathiso sokuba balwa nosulelo okanye isifo.

Ukuba une-lymph node ezidumbileyo, akufuneki ulindele umhlaza ngokukhawuleza. Nangona kunjalo, kuya kufuneka undwendwele ugqirha wakho ukuba:

• iindawo zakho nkovu ukuqhubeka ukwandisa
• ukudumba kubakho ngaphezulu kweeveki ezimbini
• baziva bunzima kwaye awunakubahambisa xa ubacofa

I-lymph nodes kunye nomhlaza

Nangona kunqabile, ii-lymph node ezidumbileyo zingangumqondiso womhlaza. Iicancer ezimbini eziphambili ezinxulunyaniswa nee-lymph node ezidumbileyo yi-lymphoma kunye neleukemia.

KwiLymphoma

Iindidi ezimbini eziqhelekileyo ze-lymphoma yiHodgkin's lymphoma kunye ne-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Kanye kunye ne-lymph nodes, i-lymphoma ineempawu ezinjenge:

• ukubila ebusuku
• ukwehla kobunzima obungachazwanga
• ifiva

Izinto zomngcipheko zibandakanya:

• Ukwabelana ngesondo. Amadoda kunokwenzeka ukuba aphuhlise i-lymphoma.
• Ubudala. Ezinye iintlobo ze-lymphoma ziqhelekileyo kulabo baneminyaka engama-55 ubudala, ngelixa ezinye zihlala zifunyanwa ngabantu abadala.
• Inkqubo yomzimba. Ukuba sele unemeko enxulunyaniswa nenkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela, okanye uthatha amayeza achaphazela amajoni akho omzimba, unokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu we-lymphoma.

Ileukemia

Ileukemia ibangela ukonyuka kweeseli ezimhlophe ezingaqhelekanga, nezithi emva koko zixinanise ezi zisempilweni ezilwa nosulelo. Olunye uphawu lwe-leukemia kukudumba kwe-lymph node. Amaqela eeseli ezimhlophe ezingaqhelekanga eziqokelela kwii-lymph node zakho, ezibangela ukwanda.

Ezinye iimpawu ze-leukemia ezihamba nokudumba kwe-lymph node zibandakanya:

• ianemia
• ukopha ngokulula okanye ukugruzuka
• ukungaphatheki kakuhle phantsi kweembambo zakho zasekhohlo

Unokuba nomngcipheko ophezulu we-leukemia ukuba:

• tshaya imidiza
• Unembali ye-leukemia kusapho lwakho
• Ndifumene i-chemotherapy okanye i-radiation kunyango lwangaphambili lomhlaza

Zeziphi ezinye iimeko ezibangela ukudumba kwe-lymph node?

Ukudumba kwe-lymph node kuhlala kungangomqondiso womhlaza. Endaweni yokuba usenokuba namava:

• usulelo lwendlebe
• tonsils
• umqalaizitrephi zomqala
• izinyo elinamathumba
• irheumatoid Arthritis

Ugqirha wakho unokubonelela ngesifo esifanelekileyo kunye nonyango, kuba unyango luya kuxhomekeka kwisizathu esithile. Amatyala amaninzi e-lymph node adumbile aphela ngokwawo ngaphandle konyango.

Yise kude

Ukudumba okanye ukwandisa ii-lymph node akusoloko kungumqondiso womhlaza, kodwa kuya kufuneka ufune unyango ukuba iimpawu ziyaqhubeka okanye zibonakala zingaqhelekanga.

Ugqirha wakho unokuvavanya imbali yakho yezonyango, enze i-lymph node biopsy, okanye aqhube izifundo zokucinga ngemifanekiso ezinje ngesifuba i-X-ray okanye i-CT scan ukujonga ngakumbi unobangela.
