Zimagwirabe ntchito, makamaka posamalira thanzi lathu.

Ambiri amasokonezeka kuti adziwe kuti chithandizo chodzitetezera nchiyani pankhani yachipatala. Tikuwoneka kuti tikumvetsetsa kuti zinthu monga kuyenda nthawi zonse kapena kulandira katemera ndi gawo la kupewa, koma chowonadi ndi chakuti, pali zambiri.

Chitetezo chaumoyo ndi zomwe mumachita kuti mukhale ndi thanzi musanadwale. Ndiye n’chifukwa chiyani muyenera kupita kwa dokotala mukakhala wathanzi? Chisamaliro chodzitetezera chingakuthandizeni kukhala athanzi, kusintha moyo wanu, komanso kuchepetsa ndalama zothandizira zaumoyo.

Pofika m'chaka cha 2015, anthu asanu ndi atatu okha pa 35 aliwonse aku US azaka zapakati pa XNUMX ndi kupitirira adalandira zonse zofunika kwambiri, zothandizira zothandizira kuchipatala zomwe zimalimbikitsidwa kwa iwo. Akuluakulu asanu pa XNUMX alionse sanalandire chithandizo chilichonse chotere. Tikukayikira kuti uku ndi kuperewera kwa chidziwitso komanso kukhala ndi mwayi wopeza kapena kukhazikitsa.

Kwa miyezi 12 kuyambira 2022 ndi 2023, pafupifupi theka la azimayi onse aku America adadumphadumpha zachitetezo (mwachitsanzo, kuyezetsa magazi pachaka, katemera, kapena kuyezetsa kovomerezeka kapena chithandizo), makamaka chifukwa sakanatha kulipira ndalama zogulira. anali ndi vuto kupeza nthawi yokumana.

Akafunsidwa, ambiri mwa amayiwa, kukwera mtengo kwa thumba komanso kuvutika kupeza nthawi yokumana ndi zina mwa zifukwa zomwe zimawalepheretsa kuthandizidwa.

Ndi chiyani chomwe chimatengedwa ngati chisamaliro chodzitetezera?

Kuyendera kwanu kwapachaka - Izi zitha kuphatikizira kuyezetsa thupi komanso kuyezetsa kofunikira kwa thanzi la zinthu monga kuthamanga kwa magazi, cholesterol, ndi zina zaumoyo. M'mikhalidwe iyi, chisamaliro chopewera chimaphatikizapo kupeza ndi kuyang'anira mikhalidwe isanakhwime.

Kuyeza khansa - Makhansa ambiri, mwatsoka si onse, akapezeka msanga, amatha kuchiza mosavuta ndipo chifukwa chake, amakhala ndi chiwopsezo chachikulu. Anthu ambiri samawona zizindikiro za khansa m'magawo oyambirira, omwe angathe kuchiritsidwa. Ichi ndichifukwa chake kuwunika kumalimbikitsidwa nthawi zina komanso nthawi zina pamoyo wanu wonse. Mwachitsanzo, tikulimbikitsidwa kuti amuna ndi akazi ayambe kuyezetsa khansa yapakhungu kuyambira ali ndi zaka 45, kwa ena, ngakhale kale. Kuyeza kwina kwa amayi kumaphatikizapo kuyezetsa Pap ndi mammogram, kutengera zaka komanso chiwopsezo chaumoyo.

Ngati mutenga chimfine, kulandira katemera wa chimfine kumatha kuchepetsa kwambiri mwayi wa zizindikiro zazikulu za chimfine zomwe zingayambitse kuchipatala. Anthu omwe ali ndi matenda osachiritsika, monga mphumu, amakhala pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha chimfine.

Bungwe la US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF kapena Task Force) limapereka malingaliro ozikidwa paumboni pazodzitetezera monga kuyezetsa, upangiri wamakhalidwe, ndi mankhwala oletsa. Malingaliro a Task Force amapangidwira akatswiri osamalira oyambira ndi akatswiri oyambira.

Ndibwino kuchiritsa anthu asanadwale (er)

Inde, pali chithandizo chamankhwala chodzitetezera ku matenda ambiri osatha; izi zikuphatikizapo kulowererapo matenda asanayambe (otchedwa kupewa koyamba), kupeza ndi kuchiza matenda adakali aang'ono (kupewa kwachiwiri), ndi kuyang'anira matenda kuti achedwetse kapena kuti asapitirire kwambiri (kupewa kwapamwamba). Izi zimagwiranso ntchito paumoyo wamakhalidwe, monga nkhawa kapena kukhumudwa, komanso matenda ena amthupi. Komanso, zikaphatikizidwa ndi kusintha kwa moyo, zimatha kuchepetsa kwambiri kuchuluka kwa matenda osatha komanso kulumala ndi imfa zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa nazo. Komabe, tawona mu chisamaliro chaumoyo kuti mautumikiwa sagwiritsidwa ntchito mozama ngakhale kuti anthu ndi chuma chambiri cha matenda aakulu.

Sitikumvetsetsa kwathunthu kusagwiritsidwa ntchito bwino kwa ntchito zodzitetezera. Ife, monga opereka chithandizo, tikhoza kusokonezedwanso ndi changu chatsiku ndi tsiku cha chisamaliro choyambirira. Kuchuluka kwa mautumiki omwe akulimbikitsidwa kumafuna nthawi yochuluka kukonzekera ndi kupereka. Izi zilinso chifukwa cha kuchepa kwa ogwira ntchito yosamalira odwala m'dziko lonselo.

Kupewa matenda ndi kuvulala ndikofunikira pakuwongolera thanzi la America. Tikayika ndalama popewa, phindu limagawidwa mokulira. Ana amakulira m'madera omwe amakula bwino, ndipo anthu amakhala opindulitsa komanso athanzi mkati ndi kunja kwa ntchito.

Pomaliza

Kupewa matenda kumafunikira zambiri kuposa chidziwitso kuti mupange zisankho zabwino. Chidziwitso ndi chofunikira, koma anthu ammudzi ayeneranso kulimbikitsa ndi kuthandizira thanzi m'njira zina, mwachitsanzo, popanga zisankho zathanzi zosavuta komanso zotsika mtengo. Tidzapambana kupanga malo abwino a anthu pamene “mpweya ndi madzi zili zoyera ndi zotetezeka; pamene nyumba ili yotetezeka komanso yotsika mtengo; pamene zoyendera ndi zomangamanga zapamudzi zimapereka mwayi kwa anthu kukhala achangu komanso otetezeka; pamene sukulu zimapatsa ana chakudya chopatsa thanzi komanso kupereka maphunziro akuthupi abwino; komanso pamene mabizinesi akupereka malo ogwira ntchito athanzi komanso otetezeka komanso mwayi wopeza mapulogalamu athanzi. ” Magawo onse amathandizira paumoyo, kuphatikiza nyumba, mayendedwe, maphunziro, ndi chisamaliro choyenera pachikhalidwe.

Pitirizani Kupeza Chisamaliro Chodzitetezera Chomwe Mukufunikira

Onetsetsani kuti mukupitirizabe kusunga chitetezo chanu kuti muthe kupeza chithandizo chodzitetezera chomwe mukufunikira. Mukalandira paketi yanu yokonzanso ya Medicaid m'makalata, lembani ndikubweza nthawi yake, ndipo onetsetsani kuti mumayang'ana makalata anu, imelo, ndi imelo.
