Inyanga Kazwelonke Yokuzihlola
Ah, ukuba mncane nokungazi. Lapho ngisanda kweva eminyakeni engu-20, ngangingacabangi njalo ngemiphumela yezenzo zami, njengabantu abaningi. Futhi lokho kwasebenza ekunakekeleni isikhumba sami. Ngangikhathazeke kakhulu ngokuzijabulisa nokungabi nandaba, kunokucophelela nokuphepha. Ngenhlanhla, ngabona inkinga ngaphambi kokuba ibe inkinga enkulu, futhi yangifundisa isifundo esibalulekile. UFebhuwari uphawula Inyanga Kazwelonke Yokuzihlola, okuyisikhumbuzo esihle sokuthi ukuqaphela noma yikuphi ukukhathazeka kwezempilo kanye nokuba phezu kokuqapha kungabaluleka kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ngo-2013, ngathuthela eTucson, e-Arizona; idolobha elikhanyayo, elinelanga, elishisayo lapho ungalala khona eduze kwechibi cishe unyaka wonke. Futhi ngenza. Ngisebenze ishejuli yasebusuku (1:00 am to 8:00 am) eyenza kwaba lula kimina kuphela ukujabulela ichibi emini ngaphambi kokuthi ngiyolala ngabo-4:00 ntambama Futhi njengamanye amafulethi e-Arizona, sasinawo. ichibi - ezimbili empeleni. Ngangifunda incwadi, indawo yokuphumula eduze nephuli, ngiyobhukuda kancane, ngilalele umculo, ngezinye izikhathi ngimeme abanye abangani bomsebenzi weshifu yasebusuku ukuba bahlanganyele phakathi nosuku. Ngasebenzisa amafutha okuthambisa e-SPF 4 futhi cishe angizange ngiwagcobe kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngangihlale ngimnyama futhi ngihlale ngijabule.
Kwathi ngo-2014, ngathuthela eSan Diego, eCalifornia. Nokho elinye idolobha eligcwele ilanga namathuba okubeka eceleni kwamanzi. Kodwa ngalesi sikhathi, kwase kungibambele. Ngabona imvukuzane exakile, esolisayo ohlangothini lwami, ngezansi nje kwekhwapha lami. Ekuqaleni, angizange ngikunake kakhulu. Kodwa yabe isiba nkulu, umbala waba ungajwayelekile futhi ungalingani, futhi wawungalingani. Ngangazi ukuthi zonke lezi kwakuyizimpawu eziyisixwayiso. Ngokwe-Skin Cancer Foundation, iziqondiso ezinhle okufanele uzilandele lapho uhlola ama-moles yilezi I-ABCDE ye-melanoma. Ngokusho kwewebhusayithi yabo, nakhu okushiwo lokho:
- U-A owe-Asymmetry.Iningi lama-melanomas ane-asymmetrical. Uma udweba umugqa phakathi nendawo yesilonda, ama-halves amabili awafani, ngakho-ke ibukeka ihlukile ukusuka kwendingilizi ukuya ku-oval kanye nemvukuzane evamile elinganayo.
- U-B oweBorder.Imingcele ye-melanoma ivame ukungalingani futhi ingase ibe namaphethelo ama-scalloped noma ama-notched. Ama-moles avamile avame ukuba nemingcele ebushelelezi, ngisho nakakhulu.
- U-C ngowembala. Imibala eminingi iwuphawu oluyisixwayiso. Nakuba ama-benig imvukuzane evame ukuba nomthunzi owodwa onsundu, i-melanoma ingase ibe nemithunzi ehlukene ensundu, eluhlaza noma emnyama. Njengoba ikhula, imibala ebomvu, emhlophe noma eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ingase ivele.
- I-D ingeye-Diameter noma Emnyama.Nakuba kukuhle ukuthola i-melanoma uma incane, kuwuphawu oluyisixwayiso uma isilonda silingana nerabha yepensela (cishe u-6 mm, noma ¼ amayintshi ububanzi) noma ngaphezulu. Abanye ochwepheshe bathi kubalulekile ukubheka noma yisiphi isilonda, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi singakanani, esimnyama kunezinye. Okungavamile, i-melanoma ye-amelanotic azinambala.
- U-E owe-Evolving.Noma iluphi ushintsho kusayizi, ukuma, umbala noma ukuphakama kwendawo esikhumbeni sakho, nanoma yiluphi uphawu olusha olukuso - njengokuphuma kwegazi, ukulunywa noma uqweqwe - kungase kube uphawu oluyisixwayiso lwe-melanoma.
Ekugcineni, ngenza isikhathi sokubonana nodokotela wesikhumba. Ngayikhomba imvukuzane udokotela wavuma ukuthi ayibukeki kahle. Wangikindiki isikhumba sami futhi wasisika wajula ukuze asuse imvukuzane enkulu. Kwakuyisilonda esijulile, esikhulu okwakudingeka ngibophe ngebhandishi elikhulu isikhathi eside. Kakade, ngangiqaphela ukuthi mhlawumbe kufanele ngabe nginakekelwe ngaphambili, ngaphambi kokuba kukhule lokhu kukhulu. Udokotela ube eseyithumela ukuthi iyohlolwa. Yabuya ingajwayelekile, kodwa ayibanga nomdlavuza. Ngakhululeka kodwa ngangazi ukuthi lesi kwakuyisexwayiso sami sokuthi ngingabe budedengu kusukela manje. Kuphinde kube yisifundo esibalulekile mayelana nokugcina iso esikhumbeni sami, ukwazi ukuthi yini engejwayelekile nokuthi yini esanda kuthuthukiswa, kanye nokukhuthala ngokusihlola ngokomsebenzi.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ngangikukhuthalele kakhulu ukugcina iso esikhunjeni sami nanoma yiziphi izinkumbi ezintsha ezingase zivele; ikakhulukazi lawo alandela ama-ABCDE e-melanoma. Ngaqala nokugqoka izinto zokuvikela ilanga ze-SPF eziphezulu futhi ngafaka isicelo kabusha ngokwenkolo. Ngihlala ngigqoka izigqoko manje libalele futhi ngivame ukuhlala emthunzini noma ngaphansi kwesambulela eseceleni kwechibi, esikhundleni sokukhetha ukuthola lokho kukhanya kwe-tan. Bengise-Hawaii kuleli hlobo futhi ngigqoke isikibha sokuvikela ilanga elingangeni manzi ngenkathi ngigwedla ukuze ngigcine amahlombe ami ephephile, ngemva kokuthi ngase ngiwabeke elangeni izinsuku ezimbalwa zilandelana futhi ngikhathazekile ngokuchayeka kakhulu. Angikaze ngicabange ukuthi ngizoba yilowo muntu olwandle! Kodwa ngafunda, akufanelekile, ukuphepha kuqala.
Uma ufuna ukuzihlola isikhumba sakho ukuze uthole noma yimaphi ama-moles angase adinge ukunakwa kochwepheshe, the I-American Cancer Society inamacebiso okuthi ungakwenza kanjani lokhu ngempumelelo.
Kungumqondo omuhle futhi ukuthola ukuhlolelwa isikhumba okuphrofeshinali. Kwesinye isikhathi ungathola amasayithi okuhlola mahhala ku-inthanethi.
Nawa amanye amawebhusayithi awabala:
Ngibheke ngabomvu ukujabulela ukukhanya kwelanga kwasentwasahlobo nehlobo – ngokuphepha!
