Njengoba i-US ingena onyakeni wayo wesithupha olandelanayo wezinga eliphezulu kakhulu lezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi (STD) ngo-2019, kuye kwaphakanyiswa imibuzo eminingana yokuthi kungani lokhu bekwenzeka. Ukwenza izinto zibe zimbi nakakhulu, izigidi ezingu-2.5 zamacala abikiwe kwakungezo-STD ezivame kakhulu—isifo sohudo, ugcunsula, ne-chlamydia. Ingabe lokhu kusho ukuthi ezinye izifo ze-STD ziyehla kancane? Akunjalo. Kudingeka abantu abengeziwe ihlolwe i-hepatitis ukusiza ukuhlukanisa udaba.
Ngokwesibonelo, cabanga nge-hepatitis. Lokhu kutheleleka ngegciwane, okusakazwa nangocansi, akungabazeki ukuthi kubekwe eceleni. Ngokwedatha yeCenters For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), kulinganiselwa ukuthi abantu abayizigidi ezi-2.4 baphila ne-hepatitis C e-US. Ngokufanayo, balinganiselwa ku-850,000 abantu abahlala nabo
i-hepatitis B ezweni. Akumangalisi ukuthi izinombolo zangempela zithathwa njengeziphakeme kunezinombolo ezilinganiselwe.
Komunye umbiko we-CDC ngo-2018, kwashiwo ukuthi izinga lokutheleleka nge-hepatitis C liye laphindeka kathathu kusukela ngo-2013. Ngakho-ke, ngomkhuba owanda kangaka walokhu kutheleleka, kulungile ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-hepatitis kufanele kukhuphuke. Nokho, akubonakali kunedatha ebambekayo efakazela lokho.
Kungani I-Hepatitis Yanda?
Ngokwe-CDC, lesi sifo sikhula ngokushesha kakhulu kubantu abadala abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-20 nengu-29. Eqinisweni, i-CDC iye yaqhubeka yathi isifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C singase sibulale abantu abaningi kunezinye izifo ezithathelwanayo.
I-Hepatitis, ehlasela isibindi, yabonakala kakhulu kubantu baseMelika ababengaphezu kweminyaka engama-55. Manje njengoba iqembu lobudala lalesi sifo selishintshile, umuntu akakwazi ukuzibamba kodwa uyazibuza ukuthi kungani lokhu kwenzeka.
Izikhulu zezempilo zinombono wokuthi lo mkhuba owandayo wesifo sokusha kwesibindi komntwana ubangelwa ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa. Isizathu siwukuthi lesi sifo sibangelwa ikakhulukazi ukuthintana negazi elinegciwane. Ngakho-ke, ukwabelana ngezinaliti zokujova izidakamizwa noma ukunamathisela inaliti ngephutha kungaba izizathu eziyinhloko zalokhu kuphakama okungazelelwe.
Uma umuntu esengenwe yisifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo, ukwenza ucansi ngomlomo noma ngendunu kuyovumela ukudluliselwa kwaleli gciwane. Akugcini lapho, kodwa isifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo A singasakazeka lapho umuntu ethintana ngqo nomuntu onaleli gciwane. Njengoba i-hepatitis ithathelwana kakhulu, kubalulekile ukunciphisa amazinga ayo aphezulu. Nakuba zonke izinhlobo ze-hepatitis ziyelapheka, akukho okushiwo ukuthi yini engase ihambe kabi uma ingelashwa.
Isidingo Sokuhlolwa Kwesifo Sesibindi Okwengeziwe
I-Hepatitis ingenye yezimbangela eziyinhloko zesifo sesibindi esingapheli. Uma umuntu engangenwa yilesi sifo, kungaholela ezingozini zezempilo ezifana ne-cirrhosis, i-primary hepatocellular carcinoma, kanye ne-hepatitis engapheli. Nakuba likhona ikhambi lesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo, kufanele kwaziwe ukuthi izindlela zalo zokuvimbela zilinganiselwe.
Sengikushilo lokho, kubalulekile ukuthi abantu baseMelika bakhethe ukuhlolelwa i-hepatitis. Eqinisweni, i-CDC incoma ukuthi abantu kufanele bahlolelwe i-hepatitis C okungenani kanye ekuphileni kwabo. Lesi sifo esingasho lutho, njengoba sibizwa kanjalo, singahlala emzimbeni womuntu ngaphandle kokwazi. Kusazophela iminyaka bezokwazi ngayo ngemuva komonakalo owenziwe. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukulimala kwesibindi sabo kanye nokudlulisela isifo kubathandekayo babo.
Nakuba amacala e-hepatitis angase angavamile uma kuqhathaniswa namanye ama-STD avamile, lokhu akusho ukuthi ukutheleleka akusavumelekile. Ikhona kakhulu e-US futhi ikhathaza kakhulu. Eqinisweni, ngokweWorld Health Organization (WHO), ngo-2017, kwabikwa ukufa kwabantu abangu-91 e-US ngenxa yesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo A. le nhlangano iphinde yalinganisela ukuthi isifo esifanayo yiso esibangele ukufa kwabantu abayizi-7,134 ngonyaka. 2016.
Njengoba i-hepatitis B iyisifo esithathelwanayo kune-HIV/AIDS, iyisizathu sokuqala sokubangela umdlavuza wesibindi. Ngokufa kwezinkulungwane minyaka yonke e-US ngenxa ye-hepatitis B, kulinganiselwa ukuthi bangama-25% kuphela abantu abanalesi sifo abatholakala benesifo.
Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuthi lokhu kutheleleka akukho phakathi kwama-STD avamile, akusho ukuthi akutheleleki njengezinye izifo futhi, ngezinye izikhathi, kuyabulala. Futhi njengoba manje kunezinga elibonakala liphakeme lesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo e-US, izikhulu zezempilo, umphakathi, kanye nabenzi bomthetho kudingeka bazibambele mathupha. Noma abantu bethola imfundo ngocansi oluphephile, ukugwema ukwabelana ngezinaliti, nokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa, ekugcineni kuncike ekutheni umuntu usabela kanjani kukho. Ngakho-ke, nomphakathi kufanele ukubeke eceleni ukuthi ugxilise noma yini oyifundayo esikhundleni sokukhombana ngeminwe.
Isibonelo, uma kuziwa esenzweni sokuya ocansini, abalingani kufanele bakwazi ukukhuluma ngokukhululeka ngesimo sabo sempilo. Kungcono ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuba sohlangothini oluphephile kunokuba uzisole ngesinqumo kamuva. Ngokufanayo, lapho kuziwa ekusebenziseni izidakamizwa, abazali kufanele bakwazi ukuqapha izingane zabo. Njengoba abantu abasha abaningi besebenzisa izidakamizwa, sekwandile e-US. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukufundisa izingane ngezidakamizwa ezingaholela ezingozini zempilo kusukela zisencane.
Ekupheleni kosuku, abantu abaneminyaka engu-18 nangaphezulu futhi abenze ucansi kufanele bahlolelwe i-hepatitis okungenani kanye. Ngale ndlela, uma umuntu bekuzohlolwa ukuthi une-HIV, angathola ukwelashwa okufanele futhi agweme ukudluliselwa kwaleli gciwane. Sekuyisikhathi sokubeka isikole sethu esidala sokucabanga emuva ezingqondweni zethu futhi sigxile ekusaseni lapho izimpilo zabantu abasha kungadingeki zihlupheke ngenxa yalesi sifo. Ngokugwema ukuhlolelwa izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi njengesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo ngenxa yehlazo noma ukuphoxeka, kungase kubize impilo noma ngaphezulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-hepatitis okwengeziwe kwenziwe. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho kuzoba khona ukunqanda lokhu kutheleleka kanye nezinsongo zokufa ezincane.
