Yintoni kanye kanye iChlamydia Yomlomo?

Masiqale ngezinto ezisisiseko. I-Chlamydia emqaleni, eyaziwa emhlabeni wezonyango njenge pharyngeal chlamydia, yintsholongwane yebhaktheriya eyenzeka kumalwelwe acwebileyo aququzelela umqala okanye umlomo wakho (i-pharynx). Iyenzwa yibhaktheriya efanayo, i- Chlamydia trachomatis, enoxanduva lwezifo ze-chlamydia zezitho zangasese umthombo.

Cinga ngayo ngale ndlela: iibhaktheriya azikhethi apho zihlala khona. Zikhula kumalwelwe acwebileyo afudumeleyo, afumaneka ezithweni zangasese, emva, kwaye, ewe, emqaleni. Ke, xa abantu bekhankanya i-chlamydia yomlomo, bayathuthuva ngale ntsholongwane ethile ye-pharyngeal.

Uyiqala Njani iChlamydia Emqaleni?

Lo ngumbuzo omnye wemibuzo eqhelekileyo, kwaye impendulo ilula. Ke, uyi qala njani i-chlamydia emqaleni? Indlela ephambili edluliselwa ngayo yindlela yokwabelana ngesondo ngomlomo ngaphandle kokukhusela.

Ngokukodwa, kuyenzeka xa wenza umsebenzi wezondo ngomlomo kuqabane (isitho samadoda, isitho sabasetyhini, okanye i-anus) elinesifo se-chlamydia. Iibhaktheriya ezivela ezithweni zabo zangasese zingahlola izicubu ngasemva komqala wakho.

Kubalulekile ukubuza, ngaba umsebenzi wezondo ngomlomo unokubangela i-chlamydia yomqala? Ewe, yiyo le ndlela ephambili yokudluliselwa. Nangona ingaqhelekanga kakhulu, kuyenzeka ukudlulisa intsholongwane ngokufumana umsebenzi wezondo ngomlomo kumntu osele enesifo se- pharyngeal chlamydia, nangona uphando ngale nto luqhubeka umthombo.

Ukuchitha Imidiliya: Indlela Ongayifumana Ngayo

Masicacise ngemibono eyahlukileyo eqhelekileyo. Awunakho ukufumana i-chlamydia emqaleni kwi:

• Ukuncamisana (okungaqhelekanga okanye okunzulu)

Ukuqaphela Iimpawu: Zintoni Izimpawu zeChlamydia Emqaleni?

Nanku ubunzima obukhulu malunga ne- chlamydia emqaleni: uninzi lwabantu—ude lube yi-90% okanye ngaphezulu—abanamiphumo kwaphela umthombo. Oku kuthetha ukuba abanamibonelo kwaphela kwaye abazi ukuba banayo intsholongwane. Le nto 'ecatshayo' yiyo unobangela wokuba ukuhlolwa kwe-STI rhoqo kubaluleke kakhulu kuye nabani na owabelana ngesondo.

Nangona kunjalo, xa iimpawu zivela, zihlala zivela kwiiveki ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu emva kokufumana. Ke, zintoni izimpawu ze-chlamydia emqaleni? Zihlala zingacaciswanga kwaye zinokudideka ngokulula nezinye izifo eziqhelekileyo.

Iimpawu ezinokwenzeka ze- chlamydia emqaleni zibandakanya:

• Umqala ongagqibekiyo obuhlungu: Le yona mpawu iqhelekileyo, umqala obuhlungu we-chlamydia ongabonakaliyo ukuba uyayeka ngamayeza aqhelekileyo.

Ukuba unomqala obuhlungu oqhubekayo kwaye usandula ukuba nomsebenzi wezondo ongakhuselwanga, kuyacetyiswa ukuba ucinge ngokuhlolwa. Ke, iyabonakala njani i-chlamydia yomlomo? Ngokuhlala, ibonakala njengento engenanto, kodwa ukuba ibonisa iimpawu, ingabonakala njengokugula okuncinci kwe-tonsillitis okanye i-pharyngitis.

Ukufumana Isigwebo: Uvavanyo Olufanelekileyo lweChlamydia Emqaleni

Ukuba ukhathazekile ngeentsholongwane ezingenzeka emqaleni, nanku umnqweno obalulekileyo: uvavanyo oluqhelekileyo lwe-urine okanye i-swab yezitho zangasese ye-chlamydia ayiyi kuchonga intsholongwane emqaleni wakho.

Indlela ekuphela kwazo yokufumana isigwebo esichanekileyo se- chlamydia yomlomo nguvavanyo olukhethekileyo lwe-chlamydia emqaleni. Oku kubandakanya umboneleli wezempilo othatha i-swab yomqala (okanye i-pharyngeal swab) ngokukhuhla i-swab yomqala kunye nee-tonsils zakho. Isampuli emva koko ithunyelwa elabhoratri ukuze uvavanyo oluchanekileyo kakhulu olubizwa ngokuba yiNucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) umthombo.

Usenokufuna ukuzikhusela. Xa undwendwela ugqirha wakho okanye ikliniki yezempilo yesondo, chaza ngokucacileyo malunga neenkxalabo zakho. Buxelele, “Ndinengxaki malunga ne-STI emqaleni wam kuba ndaba nomsebenzi wezondo ongakhuselwanga, kwaye ndingathanda i-swab yomqala.” Musa ukuba nentloni—ababoneleli bezempilo balapho ukuze bancede, hayi ukugweba. Iikhithi zokuhlolwa kwe-STI ezikhaya nazo ziyanda kwaye uninzi ngoku lubonelela ngovavanyo lwendawo ezintathu (yezitho zangasese, ye-rectal, kunye neyomlomo) ukuze kuhlolwe ngokupheleleyo.

Ukufumana Unyango: Unyango lweChlamydia Yomlomo

Masiye kwiindaba ezimnandi kakhulu: i-chlamydia emqaleni inokwelapheka ngokupheleleyo ngonyango olulula lwee-antibiotics. Yintsholongwane yebhaktheriya, kwaye unyango lwanamhlanje luchaphayo ekuyisusa.

Unyango oluqhelekileyo lwe- chlamydia yomlomo olucetyiswe yiZiko leziLawuli zeNdlela zokuThintela kunye noPhuhliso lwaBantu (CDC) lubandakanya enye yezi zicwangciso zokubopha ii-antibiotics:

1. Doxycycline: Unyango lweentsuku ezisi-7 lwee-pill ezithathwa kabini ngosuku.
2. Azithromycin: I-dose enye, enye ixesha ye-pill.

Ugqirha wakho uza kugqiba unyango olona lungcono kuwe. Kubalulekile kakhulu ukuba uthathe yonke imiyalelo yonyango njengoko icetyiswe, nokuba iimpawu zakho ziqala ukunyamalala. Ukuyeka kwangethuba kunokubangela ukungaphumeleli konyango.

Umthetho weentsuku ezisi-7: Umcebiso obalulekileyo emva konyango

Emva kokuba ugqibezile ii-antibiotics zakho, awukacoci kwaphela. Ukukhusela ukuzihlola kwakhona okanye ukudlulisa intsholongwane kuqabane, kufuneka ungayeki lonke uqhobayo ngokwesondo (kubandakanya nomlomo, isitho sangasese, kunye ne-anal sex) ubuncinci iintsuku ezisi-7 emva kokuba ugqibezile unyango lwakho umthombo.

Kubalulekile ukwazisa nabo bonke amaqabane ngokwesondo ukusuka kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ukuze nawo ahlolelwe kwaye aphathwe. Ngaphandle koko, uyazibeka emngciphekweni wokufumana intsholongwane kwakhona kuqabane elingaphatywanga.

Iingozi Zokushiya iChlamydia Ngaphandle ko-nyango

Kuba ngokuqhelekileyo ayibonakali, kunokuba lula intsholongwane ukuba ingabonwa ixesha elide. I-chlamydia engaphatywanga, nokuba ikuphi na, ingabanga iingxaki zempilo ezibucayi kunye nezihlala njalo.

Kubafazi, i-chlamydia yezitho zangasese engaphatywanga ingaya esibelekweni kunye nemiqulu yee-fallopian, ibangela iPelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). I-PID ingabangela intlungu ebuhlungu ebuhlungu, ukungazali, kunye neengxaki zokukhulelwa zangaphandle ezingekho embelelweni umthombo. Ngelixa i-pharyngeal chlamydia ikwindawo yomqala, ukuba nayo nayiphi na i-STI engaphatywanga ingabeka impilo yakho iphela engozini kwaye yonyusa amathuba akho okufumana okanye ukudlulisa ezinye ii-STI, kubandakanya ne-HIV.

Ukuthintela Kubalulekile: Indlela Yokuzikhusela

Indlela elungileyo yokujongana ne- chlamydia emqaleni kukuyithintela ukuba ingenzeki kwasekuqaleni. Nantsi imisebenzi embalwa onokuyithatha ukuze uzikhusele wena kunye namaqabane akho:

I-dental dam yicwecwe elithambileyo, eliguquguqukayo le-latex okanye i-polyurethane elinokubekwa phezu kwe-vulva okanye i-anus ngexesha lomsebenzi wezondo ngomlomo.
• Fumana Uvavanyo Lwe-STI Rhoqo: Ukuba usebenza ngokwesondo, ngakumbi ukuba unobomi okanye unobomi abaninzi abatsha, uvavanyo lwe-STI rhoqo kufanele lube yinxalenye yendlela yakho yempilo. Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nendlela onokuvavanywa rhoqo ngayo.
