Minyaka yonke, uSepthemba umakwa njengeNyanga yokuqwashisa ngomdlavuza wendlala yesinye emhlabeni jikelele. Ngokusho kwe-American Association for Cancer Research, umdlavuza we-prostate uvame ukutholakala kubantu besilisa, futhi uyimbangela yesibili yokufa komdlavuza emadodeni, ngemuva komdlavuza wamaphaphu.

UDkt Vikranth Mummaneni, u-Sr Consultant Surgical Oncologist, e-CARE Hospitals Hitec City Hyderabad, uthe umdlavuza wendlala yesinye isifo esibulalayo esisuka ku-prostate gland, okuyindlala encane elingana ne-walnut etholakala ngaphansi kwesinye emadodeni. Ikhiqiza uketshezi lwesidoda, ingxenye yesidoda. Umdlavuza wendlala yesinye kwenzeka lapho amangqamuzana endlala yesinye eshintshashintsha futhi anda ngokungalawuleki, enze izimila.

Nakuba imbangela eqondile yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye ingakacaci, izici eziningana eziyingozi sezihlonziwe, wanezela.

UDkt Mohan Balaiah Aswathaiya, ongu-Consultant Urology, Andrology & Kidney Transplant Surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, Bengaluru, waphawula ukuthi cishe izigameko ezingu-6 kwezingu-10 zomdlavuza wendlala yesinye zitholakala emadodeni angaphezu kweminyaka engu-65. “Lo mdlavuza uvame kakhulu eNyakatho Melika, eNorthwestern Europe, Australia, naseziqhingini zaseCaribbean,” esho.

Yiziphi izici eziyingozi zokuthola umdlavuza wendlala yesinye?

Ngokusho kochwepheshe, okulandelayo yizici eziyingozi zomdlavuza wendlala yesinye:

• Ukuba nobaba noma umfowabo onomdlavuza wendlala yesinye kwandisa ngokuphindwe kabili amathuba owesilisa okuba nalesi sifo.
• Ukuguqulwa okuzuzwe njengefa kwezakhi zofuzo ze-BRCA1 noma i-BRCA2 namadoda ane-Lynch Syndrome asengozini enkulu yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye.
• Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, ukubhema kanye nokuchayeka kumakhemikhali nakho kwandisa ingozi yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye.
• Nakuba lesi sixhumanisi singaqondwa ngokugcwele, ukudla okunamafutha amaningi, inyama ebomvu, nezithelo nemifino ephansi kungase kubangele ingozi eyengeziwe. Ngokuphambene, ukudla okunothe ngezithelo, imifino, nokusanhlamvu kungase kuvikele.

Yiziphi ezinye izinguquko ongayenza ukuze uvimbele umdlavuza wendlala yesinye?

Izinto eziningi eziyingozi ezifana neminyaka, uhlanga, ukuthambekela kofuzo kanye nomlando womndeni azikwazi ukulawulwa. Kepha kunezinto ongazenza ezingase zehlise ubungozi bomdlavuza wendlala yesinye, njengokusho kochwepheshe.

a. Ukudla okunempilo: Ukwamukela ukudla okugcizelela izithelo, imifino, nokusanhlamvu kunganikeza izakhi ezibalulekile kanye nama-antioxidants angase anciphise ingozi yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Utamatisi, ocebile nge-lycopene, nemifino ye-cruciferous efana ne-broccoli, inenzuzo ngokukhethekile.

b. Ukuzivivinya: Ukuzivivinya umzimba njalo, njengokuhamba ngokushesha, ukugijima, noma okunye ukuvivinya umzimba, kungasiza ukugcina isisindo somzimba esinempilo futhi kunciphise ingozi yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Zibekele okungenani imizuzu engu-150 yokuzivocavoca okunamandla isonto ngalinye.

c. Ukulawula isisindo: Ukugcina isisindo esinempilo ngokudla ukudla okulinganiselayo nokuzivocavoca kubalulekile, njengoba ukukhuluphala kuye kwaxhunyaniswa nengozi eyengeziwe yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye.

d. Nciphisa utshwala: Ukuphuza ngokweqile kuhlotshaniswa nengozi enkulu yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Kutuswa ukuba unciphise ukuphuza utshwala noma, ngisho nangcono, ukugweme.

e. Ukuyeka ugwayi: Ukubhema kuyinto eyaziwayo engozini yomdlavuza ohlukahlukene, kuhlanganise nomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Ukuyeka ukubhema kunganciphisa ingozi yakho yomdlavuza.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi lezi zinguquko zendlela yokuphila zingaba nomthelela empilweni enempilo ngokuvamile futhi zinganciphisa ingozi yomdlavuza wendlala yesinye. Nokho, akuzona iziqinisekiso ezingenangqondo ngokumelene nesifo. Ukuhlolwa njalo nomhlinzeki wezempilo, okuhlanganisa izingxoxo ezimayelana nomlando womndeni wakho nezici eziyingozi, kubalulekile ukuze kutholakale kusenesikhathi nokuphathwa okufanele. Uma unokukhathazeka ngomdlavuza wendlala yesinye, thintana nochwepheshe bezempilo ukuze uthole isiqondiso esiqondene nawe.
