Mu nkhani ya thanzi la amuna, mawu ochepa chabe achidule ndi ofunika kwambiri—ndipo amayambitsa mkangano waukulu—monga PSA. Kuyesa kwa Prostate-Specific Antigen, komwe kumangotengedwa magazi, kumakhalabe chimodzi mwa zida zamphamvu kwambiri, koma zosamvetsetseka, polimbana ndi khansa ya prostate. Pamene malangizo azachipatala akupitilizabe kusintha, uthenga wofunikira kwa mwamuna aliyense ndi banja lake ndi uwu: kukambirana mwanzeru za kuyezetsa PSA sikofunikira kokha; ndikofunikira.

Khansa ya prostate nthawi zambiri imakhala yobisika kumayambiriro kwake, yomwe imatha kuchiritsidwa. Mosiyana ndi khansa zina zambiri, imatha kukula kwa zaka zambiri popanda kuyambitsa zizindikiro zilizonse zooneka. Pofika nthawi yomwe zizindikiro monga mavuto a mkodzo, kupweteka kwa mafupa, kapena magazi mu mkodzo zimawonekera, khansayo ikhoza kukhala itapita patsogolo kale, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti chithandizo chikhale chovuta komanso zotsatira zake zisadziwike. Kuyesa kwa PSA kumagwira ntchito ngati njira yochenjeza msanga. Kumayesa kuchuluka kwa mapuloteni opangidwa ndi prostate gland. Ngakhale kuchuluka kwa PSA sikudziwika bwino kwa khansa - kumathanso kukwezedwa ndi matenda wamba, omwe si khansa monga Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) kapena prostatitis - imagwira ntchito ngati chizindikiro chofunikira kwambiri, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti kafukufuku wina achitike.

Apa ndi pomwe pali mkangano, ndipo ndi mfundo yomwe mwamuna aliyense ayenera kumvetsetsa. Kale, nkhawa yokhudza "kuzindikira mopitirira muyeso" ndi "kuchiza mopitirira muyeso" khansa yomwe ikukula pang'onopang'ono yomwe mwina singakhale yoopsa kwa moyo inapangitsa mabungwe ena azaumoyo kuti asamagogomezere kuyezetsa magazi nthawi zonse. Mantha anali akuti amuna anali kulandira chithandizo champhamvu cha khansa chomwe sichinali choopsa kwenikweni, chomwe chikanatha kukumana ndi zotsatirapo zoyipa zomwe zingasinthe moyo monga kusadziletsa mkodzo komanso kusagwira ntchito bwino kwa maliseche mosafunikira.

Komabe, njira yamakono yoyezera PSA yakula kwambiri. Kusintha kwakukulu ndikosiyana ndi kuyesa kokha, komwe kumachitika nthawi zonse, kupita ku kupanga zisankho zodziwikiratu komanso zogwirizana. Kukambirana sikulinso kokhudza kupeza mayeso okha, koma kukambirana mwatsatanetsatane ndi dokotala wanu.isanafikemayeso. Kukambiranaku kuyenera kutengera zinthu zomwe zimayambitsa matendawa, kuphatikizapo zaka (nthawi zambiri kuyambira pa 50, kapena kupitirira apo kwa magulu omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu), mbiri ya banja (bambo kapena mchimwene yemwe ali ndi khansa ya prostate amachulukitsa chiopsezocho), ndi fuko (amuna aku Africa-America ali ndi chiwerengero chachikulu cha anthu omwe ali ndi khansa komanso omwe amafa).

Pokhala ndi mbiri iyi ya chiopsezo chapadera, mwamuna ndi dokotala wake akhoza kusankha ngati mayeso a PSA ndi chisankho choyenera. Ngati mulingo wa PSA wakwera, yankho sililinso biopsy kapena chithandizo chadzidzidzi. M'malo mwake, madokotala tsopano ali ndi njira zosiyanasiyana. Angalimbikitse "kuyang'anira mwachangu," komwe khansa imayang'aniridwa kwambiri ndi mayeso a PSA nthawi zonse ndikubwerezabwereza biopsies, pokhapokha ngati ikuwonetsa zizindikiro za kupita patsogolo. Njirayi imapewa chithandizo cha amuna omwe ali ndi matenda ochepa.

Komabe, kunyalanyaza mayeso a PSA konse, ndi njuga yokhala ndi chiopsezo chachikulu. Khansa ya prostate ndi chifukwa chachiwiri chachikulu cha imfa mwa amuna chifukwa cha khansa. Ikapezeka msanga, kuchuluka kwa moyo wa zaka zisanu kumakhala pafupifupi 100%. Kwa khansa yomwe yafalikira kumadera akutali a thupi, kuchuluka kumeneku kumatsika kwambiri. Kuyesa kwa PSA, ngakhale kuti ndi kolakwika, ndi chida chabwino kwambiri chomwe chilipo kuti tipeze matendawa pamlingo woyambirira komanso wochiritsika.

Mfundo yofunika kuiganizira ndi yomveka bwino: musalole kuti mkanganowo ukulepheretseni kuchitapo kanthu. Khalani okonzeka. Yambani kukambirana ndi dokotala wanu. Mvetsetsani zoopsa zanu. Yesani ubwino wopezeka msanga poyerekeza ndi zoopsa za machenjezo abodza. Kuyesa kwa PSA si mpira wangwiro, koma ndi chidziwitso chofunikira kwambiri. Pa ntchito yoteteza thanzi la amuna, chidziwitso chimenecho chingakhale kusiyana pakati pa moyo ndi imfa. Konzani nthawi yokumana, funsani mafunso, ndipo tengani ulamuliro. Tsogolo lanu lidzakuthokozani.
