Kwimeko yempilo yamadoda, zimbalwa izifinyezo ezinesisindo esifana nese-PSA. Uvavanyo lwe-Prostate-Specific Antigen, olulula lokutsalwa kwegazi, luhlala lusesinye sezona zixhobo zinamandla, kodwa ezingaqondwa kakuhle, ekulweni nomhlaza we-prostate. Njengoko izikhokelo zonyango ziqhubeka nokukhula, umyalezo obalulekileyo kuwo wonke umntu kunye nosapho lwakhe ngulo: ingxoxo enolwazi malunga novavanyo lwe-PSA ayibalulekanga nje kuphela; ibalulekile.

Umhlaza weprostate udla ngokuba sisifo esingathethiyo kwisigaba saso sokuqala nesinokunyangeka. Ngokungafaniyo neminye imidlaza emininzi, inokukhula iminyaka emininzi ngaphandle kokubangela iimpawu ezibonakalayo. Ngexesha kuvela iimpawu ezifana nobunzima bomchamo, iintlungu zamathambo, okanye igazi kumchamo, umhlaza usenokuba sele uqhubekile, nto leyo eyenza unyango lube nzima ngakumbi kwaye iziphumo zingaqinisekanga. Uvavanyo lwePSA lusebenza njengenkqubo yokulumkisa kwangethuba. Lulinganisa inqanaba leproteni eveliswa yi-prostate gland. Nangona inqanaba eliphezulu lePSA lingelona uxilongo oluqinisekileyo lomhlaza—linokunyuswa zizifo eziqhelekileyo, ezingezizo zomhlaza ezifana neBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) okanye i-prostatitis—lisebenza njengesibonakaliso esibalulekileyo esibomvu, nto leyo ebangela uphando olongezelelekileyo.

Kulapho ke impikiswano ikhona, kwaye yinto engaqhelekanga ekufuneka wonke umntu ayiqonde. Ngaphambili, inkxalabo malunga "nokuxilongwa ngokugqithisileyo" kunye "nonyango olugqithisileyo" lwemihlaza ekhula kancinci esenokungaze ibe yingozi kubomi yabangela ukuba amanye amaqumrhu ezempilo kawonke-wonke angagxininisi ukuvavanywa rhoqo. Uloyiko yayikukuba amadoda ayefumana unyango oluqatha lwemihlaza olungenabungozi kangako, olunokuthi lujongane neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezitshintsha ubomi njengokungakwazi ukuzibamba komchamo kunye nokungasebenzi kakuhle kwe-erectile ngokungeyomfuneko.

Nangona kunjalo, indlela yanamhlanje yokuvavanya i-PSA ikhule kakhulu. Utshintsho oluphambili kukude novavanyo oluzenzekelayo, oluqhelekileyo oluya ekwenzeni izigqibo ezinolwazi nolwabelwana ngazo. Ingxoxo ayisekho malunga nokufumana uvavanyo kuphela; imalunga nokuba nengxoxo eneenkcukacha nogqirha wakho.ngaphambiuvavanyo. Le ngxoxo mayisekelwe kwizinto ezinobungozi kumntu ngamnye, kuquka ubudala (ngokuvamile buqala kwiminyaka engama-50, okanye ngaphambi koko kumaqela asengozini enkulu), imbali yosapho (utata okanye umntakwabo onomhlaza weprostate uphinda umngcipheko), kunye nohlanga (amadoda amnyama aseMelika anezinga eliphezulu lokusasazeka kunye nokufa).

Bexhobe ngolu hlobo lomngcipheko olukhethekileyo, indoda kunye nogqirha wayo banokugqiba kwelokuba uvavanyo lwe-PSA lolona khetho lufanelekileyo na. Ukuba inqanaba le-PSA liphakanyisiwe, impendulo ayisekho yi-biopsy okanye unyango olukhawulezileyo. Endaweni yoko, oogqirha ngoku baneendlela ezahlukeneyo. Banokucebisa "ukuhlolwa okusebenzayo," apho umhlaza ujongwa ngokusondeleyo ngovavanyo lwe-PSA oluqhelekileyo kunye nokuphinda i-biopsies, kungenelela kuphela ukuba ibonisa iimpawu zokuqhubela phambili. Le ndlela ithintela ngokukhuselekileyo unyango kumadoda anesifo esinomngcipheko omncinci.

Ukungayinaki ngokupheleleyo uvavanyo lwe-PSA, nangona kunjalo, kukudlala ngemali eninzi kakhulu. Umhlaza weprostate ngunobangela wesibini ophambili wokufa komhlaza kumadoda. Xa ufunyenwe kwangethuba, izinga lokusinda kweminyaka emihlanu liphantse libe yi-100%. Kumhlaza osasazeke kwiindawo ezikude zomzimba, elo zinga lehla kakhulu. Uvavanyo lwe-PSA, nangona luneempazamo, sesona sixhobo sibalaseleyo esifumanekayo ukuze sifumane esi sifo kwinqanaba lokuqala nelinokunyangeka.

Ingcaciso icacile: musa ukuvumela ingxoxo ikuphazamise. Yiba ngumntu ozimiseleyo. Qalisa incoko nomboneleli wakho wezempilo. Qonda umngcipheko wakho. Linganisela iingenelo ezinokubakho zokubhaqwa kwangethuba kwiingozi zee-alamu zobuxoki. Uvavanyo lwe-PSA aluyonto igqibeleleyo, kodwa lulwazi olubalulekileyo. Kwinjongo yokukhusela impilo yamadoda, olo lwazi lunokuba ngumahluko phakathi kobomi nokufa. Cwangcisa idinga, buza imibuzo, kwaye uthathe ulawulo. Ikamva lakho liya kukubulela.

Siyakwazi ukunika iinkonzo zonyango ze-baysenI-PSAkwayef-PSAIkhithi yovavanyo olukhawulezileyo yokuhlolwa kwangethuba. Ukuba uyayithanda, wamkelekile ukunxibelelana nathi ukuze ufumane iinkcukacha ezithe vetshe.
