Lymphedema

Lymphedema inoreva kuzvimba kwetishu kunokonzerwa nekuunganidzwa kwemvura yakapfuma mumaproteni inowanzo bviswa ne lymphatic system yemuviri. Kazhinji inokanganisa maoko kana makumbo, asi inogonawo kuitika pachipfuva, mudumbu, mutsipa nepabonde. Lymph nodes chikamu chakakosha che lymphatic system yako. Lymphedema inogona kukonzerwa nezvikonzero zvekenza zvinobvisa kana kukuvadza lymph nodes dzako. Chero dambudziko rinomisa kubviswa kwemvura ye lymph rinogona kukonzera lymphedema. Zviitiko zvakakomba zve lymphedema zvinogona kukanganisa kugona kufambisa chikamu chakakuvadzwa, kuwedzera njodzi dzehutachiona hwepande uye sepsis, uye zvinogona kutungamira pakuchinja ganda uye kukanganisa. Kurapa kunogona kusanganisira mabhandeji ekuisa, kuomesa, masokisi ekuisa, sequential pneumatic pumping, kuchengetedza ganda zvakanaka uye, zvisingawanzoitiki, kuvhiya kubvisa tishu yakazvimba kana kuita nzira itsva yekubvisa mvura.

Systemu relymphatic iri chikamu chesystemu yemuviri inodzivirira, inodzivirira kubva kune chirwere nehosha. Systemu re lymphatic inosanganisira spleen, thymus, lymph nodes uye lymph channels, pamwe chete ne tonsils ne adenoids.

Lymphedema kuzvimba muruoko kana gumbo. Muzviitiko zvisingawanzoitika, inokanganisa maoko ese kana makumbo ese. Inogona kukanganisawo madziro echifuva nechidumbu.

Zviratidzo zveLymphedema uye zviratidzo zvinosanganisira:

• Kuzvimba kwechikamu kana chikamu chose cheruoko kana gumbo, kusanganisira minwe kana zvigunwe
• Kunzwa kurema kana kuomarara
• Kugona kufamba kwakaderedzwa
• Kuwanda kwehutachiona
• Kuomarara nekukora kwepande (fibrosis)

Zviratidzo nezviratidzo zvinogona kubva pakaderera kusvika pakukomba. Lymphedema inokonzerwa nekurapwa kenza ingangoitika mushure memwedzi kana makore mushure mekurapwa.

Enda kunachiremba kana ukaona kuzvimba kwenguva refu muruoko kana gumbo rako. Kana wakatoongororwa kuti une lymphedema, ona chiremba wako kana paine kuwedzera kukuru kwenguva pfupi kukuru kwemutumbi unobatanidzwa.

Your body has a system of tubes called the lymphatic system. This system moves a fluid called lymph, which has proteins in it, all around your body. It's part of your body's defense system against illness. Tiny, bean-shaped structures called lymph nodes are like filters along these tubes. They contain special cells that fight off infections and cancer.

The lymph fluid moves through the tubes thanks to your muscles moving and tiny pumps in the tube walls. When the tubes can't properly drain the lymph fluid, it can build up, causing a condition called lymphedema. This usually happens in an arm or a leg.

Several things can cause lymphedema:

• Cancer: Cancer cells can sometimes block the lymph vessels. For example, a tumor growing near a lymph node or vessel might get big enough to stop the fluid from flowing.

• Cancer Treatment (Radiation): Radiation therapy used to treat cancer can sometimes scar or inflame lymph nodes or vessels, making them less efficient at draining lymph.

• Surgery: During cancer surgery, doctors sometimes remove lymph nodes to check for cancer spread. While this removal can sometimes lead to lymphedema, it doesn't always happen.

• Infections (especially in developing countries): In some parts of the world, especially tropical areas, infections with tiny, thread-like worms can block the lymph nodes. This is a common cause of lymphedema in those regions.

• Inherited Conditions: Less often, lymphedema can be caused by a problem with how the lymphatic system develops from birth. This is a genetic issue.

Zvinhu zvinogona kuwedzera njodzi yekuwanda kwe lymphedema zvinosanganisira:

• Kuwedzera kwezera
• Kurema kwakanyanya kana kunyanya kukora
• Rheumatoid kana psoriatic arthritis

Zvinetso zveLymphedema zvinogona kusanganisira:

• Kuvira kwepande (cellulitis). Mvura yakabatwa inopa nzvimbo yakanaka kune hutachiona, uye kukuvara kuri nyore paruoko kana gumbo kunogona kuva nzira yekupinda kwehutachiona. Ganda rinokanganiswa rinotaridzika rakachinjika uye rakatsvukira uye kazhinji rinorwadza uye rinopisa kana rabata. Chiremba wenyu anogona kunyora mishonga yeantibiotic kuti muve nayo kuti mugone kutanga kuitora nekukurumidza.
• Sepsis. Cellulitis isina kurapwa inogona kupararira muropa uye kukonzera sepsis — mamiriro anogona kuuraya anowanikwa kana mhinduro yemuviri kune hutachiona ikakuvadza tishu dzayo. Sepsis inoda kurapwa nekukurumidza kwemishonga.
• Kubuda kuburikidza neganda. Nekukura kwakanyanya, mvura ye lymph inogona kubuda kuburikidza nekuvhuvhuta kuri nyore muganda kana kukonzera maronda.
• Kuchinja kwe ganda. Kune vamwe vanhu vane lymphedema yakanyanya, ganda remutumbi rinokanganiswa rinogona kuita gobvu uye kuoma zvokuti rinofanana neganda reruwoko.
• Kenza. Rudzi rusina kujairika rwekenza ye tishu dzakapfava inogona kubva mumamiriro ezvinhu akanyanya e lymphedema isina kurapwa.

Kana uri panjodzi yekurwara ne lymphedema — semuenzaniso, kana uchangoita opresheni yekenza inosanganisira lymph nodes dzako — chiremba wako angawana lymphedema zvichienderana nezviratidzo zvako. Kana chikonzero che lymphedema yako chisingaoneki, chiremba wako angarayira bvunzo dzekuona kuti aone system yako ye lymph. bvunzo dzinogona kusanganisira:

• MRI scan. Uchishandisa magnetic field uye radio waves, MRI inogadzira mifananidzo ye3D, yepamusoro-resolution yetsinga dzakabatwa.
• CT scan. Iyi nzira ye X-ray inogadzira mifananidzo yakadzama, yakachekwa-cheka yemativi emuviri. CT scans inogona kuratidza zvinhu zvinodzivirira mu lymphatic system.
• Ultrasound. Iyi bvunzo inoshandisa mafungu esound kugadzira mifananidzo yemativi ari mukati. Inogona kubatsira kuwana zvinhu zvinodzivirira mukati me lymphatic system uye vascular system.
• Lymphoscintigraphy. Panguva yebvunzo iyi, munhu anopfurwa ne dye ine radioactive uye wobva askanwa nema shini. Mifananidzo inobuda inoratidza dye ichifamba ne lymph vessels, ichiratidza zvinhu zvinodzivirira.
