Konke Okudingeka Ukwazi Mayelana Nokukhulelwa Ngemva Kweminyaka Engama-40

Abantu abaningi kulezi zinsuku banquma ukubambezela ukuba ngabazali futhi bagcine sebefunda kabanzi ngezihloko ezifana nokukhulelwa emva kweminyaka engu-40. Mhlawumbe imisebenzi yaba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu, noma izimo zempilo bezingakafanele kuze kube manje. Futhi lokho kulungile ngokuphelele. Kodwa uma usufike lapha, ungase uqale ukukhathazeka ngamandla okuzala, izinguquko emzimbeni, nezinselele zokuqala ubuzali kade. Okubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi yize izinto zingase zibe nzima kakhulu, ukukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-40 akuyona into engenzeki. Abanye abantu bakhulelwa ngokwemvelo, kanti abanye babheka usizo lwezokwelashwa.

Izizathu ezahlukene ziqondisa lezi zinqumo. Omunye umuntu angazizwa ezinzile kuphela emva kokwakha umsebenzi wakhe. Omunye angaba nezinhloso zakhe siqu noma afune ubudlelwane obufanele ngaphambi kokungena kulo mzila. Kunoma yisiphi isizathu, uma uzibuza “ingabe umuntu angakhulelwa eneminyaka engu-40,” awuwedwa. Sekuvele ukwamukelwa kabanzi ngokwesiko kokuba omama baqale bebadala, kodwa sisabhekene nemibuzo eminingi mayelana nesikhathi esifanele nempilo yonke.

Ukuzala Kuyashintsha Ngokuhamba Kwesikhathi

Sonke siyazi ukuthi amandla okuzala awahlali efana. Kwabesifazane, aphezulu eminyakeni yethu yama-20 nasekuqaleni kwama-30, bese ehla kancane kancane. Ngesikhathi usuqala ukubhekana namathuba oku khulelwa uneminyaka engu-40, lawo maqanda asebewancane futhi awasenamandla njengaphambilini [1]. Lokhu akusho ukuthi akukho nethemba. Kusho nje ukuthi indlela ingase idinge ukuhlelwa kahle.

Umzimba wakho wazalwa unenani elithile lamaqanda. Unyaka nonyaka inani lawo liyayehla, kuze kufike eminyakeni yakho yama-40 asebe mancane futhi hhayi njalo esemgangathweni omuhle kakhulu. Yilokho okwenza kubizwe ngokuthi “iwashi lomzimba.” Uma uzama ngempela, qaphela konke okungenza kuthuthukise amandla akho okuzala. Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi ungakhulelwa kanjani uneminyaka engu-40 ngokushesha, kungase kudinge okungaphezu kwenhlanhla nje engahleliwe.

Umthelela Wendlela Yokuphila Ekukhulelweni

Indlela ophila ngayo ingasiza noma ivimbele imizamo yokukhulelwa. Abantu bavame ukugxila endleleni engcono kakhulu yokukhulelwa ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40, kanti akukho mhlahlandlela oyedwa ofanele wonke umuntu. Kodwa ukugcina ukudla okunempilo, ukuzivocavoca njalo nokulala kahle kungakhuthaza ukukwazi ukuzala. Ukuqonda izindlela zokulala ngesikhathi ukhulelwe nakho kubalulekile, ngoba kungathinta induduzo nokujikeleza kwegazi ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Imikhuba yakho yansuku zonke—ukubhema, ikhofi eliningi kakhulu, noma ingcindezi—ingaphazamisa inqubo.

Isisindo somzimba esifanele sibalulekile, futhi. Ukuba mncane ngokweqile kungaphazamisa amahomoni, kanti ukuba nesisindo esingaphezulu kungayenza inzima inqubo yokuvulwa kwamaqanda. Ngakho uma uhlose ukuthi ukhulelwe kanjani ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40 ngokushesha, indlela elula ingaqala ngokubuyekeza indlela odla ngayo. Izithelo, imifino, amaprotheni amancane namafutha anenzuzo ekudleni kungasiza ikhwalithi yamaqanda [2]. Vele, umuntu kufanele axoxe nodokotela mayelana namavithamini afana nefolic acid noma i-CoQ10, yize kungesona isixazululo esimangalisayo esiqinisekisiwe.

Izinselelo Zemizwa

Ukucabangela ukukhulelwa ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40 kungavusa imizwa eminingi. Kunokujabula, kodwa kukhona nokukhathazeka noma ukudumala. Mhlawumbe abanye abakuzungezile bakhulelwa kalula, okungenza uzibuze ukuthi isikhathi sakho sesidlulile yini. Kodwa indaba yomuntu ngamunye yehluka. Ungazizwa uphoqelekile ukuzifanisa nabanye.

Kwabanye, kuvela umbuzo othi: ukukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-37 kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani? Impendulo iyahluka. Kungase kube ngokushesha noma kuthathe izinyanga. Uma kungenzeki masinyane, ukwedikibaleka kungavela. Zama ukukhumbula ukuthi ukuba mdala kancane kunganezela izinyathelo ezimbalwa. Eminye imijikelezo iyadlula ingaphumelelanga. Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi umphumela ube mubi ngokuzenzakalelayo. Abantu abaningi bayakhulelwa ngemuva kwemizamo ephindaphindiwe [3].

Ukulandelela Ukuvulwa Kwamaqanda Nesikhathi

Uma uhlose ukukhulelwa, isikhathi singaba umngane wakho omkhulu. Uma ufuna amathuba angcono kakhulu, thola ukuthi uvula nini amaqanda (ovulation). Lokho ngokuvamile kuba cishe usuku lwesi-14 emjikelezweni ojwayelekile wezinsuku ezingama-28, yize imizimba ingasoze ifane ngokuphelele nezincwadi. Amathuluzi afana namakhithi okuhlola ukuvulwa kwamaqanda (ovulation predictor kits) angakusiza ukunquma kahle izinsuku zokuzala [4]. Uma umbuzo wakho uwukuthi ungakhulelwa kanjani uneminyaka engu-40 ngokushesha, ukugxila ocansini kulezo zinsuku kunengqondo.

Abantu abaningi baphinde bazame ukulandelela izinga lokushisa komzimba elingaphansi (basal body temperature) noma banake izinguquko kumchamo wesibeletho (cervical mucus). Yize lezi zindlela zingase zingabi ziphelele, zingakunikeza umbono ngezikhathi ezifanele zokuzama. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, labo abafuna ukuthi bangakhulelwa kanjani ngeminyaka engu-43 ngokushesha bangahlanganisa ukuhlela isikhathi kanye nezeluleko zodokotela kusenesikhathi enqubweni, ngoba yonke imjikelezo ibalulekile.

Izinketho Ezisekelwe Ekusizeni Ukuzala

Uma usuzame izinyanga ezimbalwa ungaboni mpumelelo, cabanga ukuxhumana nochwepheshe. Kowesifazane ocabanga ngamacebiso okukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-39, ukuhlolwa kokuzala kungaveza izinkinga ezifana namashubhu e-fallopian avalekile noma ukungalingani kwamahomoni. Ukutholakala kusenesikhathi kungakusindisa izinyanga zokungaqiniseki.

Ukwelashwa okunjenge-IUI (intrauterine insemination) kufaka isidoda ngqo esibelethweni eduze nesikhathi sokuya esikhathini sokuvuthwa kweqanda. Kwezinye izikhathi kuyasiza uma ukunyakaza kwesidoda noma isikhathi kuyinkinga. I-IVF (in-vitro fertilization) ihilela ukufakelwa amaqanda esibhedlela ngaphambi kokuwafaka esibelethweni. Amanani empumelelo e-IVF ayancipha ngokuhamba kweminyaka, kodwa kusalokhu kuyindlela engaba yimpumelelo yokukhulelwa ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40 kwabanye [5]. Ukunikela ngamaqanda kungesinye isinqumo uma ikhwalithi noma inani lamaqanda selithinteke kakhulu. Kuyisinqumo somuntu siqu esidinga ukucabangisisa, kodwa kuvula amathuba.

Izingcuphe Namaqiniso

Amathuba okukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-40 noma engu-41 angase afihlwe ukukhathazeka mayelana nokuphuphunyelwa yisisu noma ukukhubazeka kofuzo. Ngempela, amaqanda amadala avame ukuba nezinkinga zama-chromosome, okwandisa amathuba okuphuphunyelwa yisisu noma izimo ezifana ne-Down syndrome. Enye iqiniso ukuthi izinkinga zempilo yomama, ezifana nomfutho wegazi ophezulu noma isifo sikashukela sokukhulelwa, zivame ukuvela kakhulu kubo omama asebekhulile [6].

Nokho, kunabantu abaningi abangenakubalwa abafunda ngemathuba okukhulelwa ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40 abaye bakwazi ukuthwala izingane ezinempilo. Umehluko ukuthi bangase badinge ukuqapha eduze, ukuhlolwa okuningi kwangaphambi kokubeletha, noma ukuhlolwa okukhethekile. Ukusebenza nochwepheshe bezempilo abaqonda ubudala bomama obuphezulu kungasiza ukunciphisa ukukhathazeka. Uhambo ngalunye lwehlukile.

Izinhloso nokulindelwe

Mhlawumbe unelukuluku ngamathuba akho okukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-35, mhlawumbe engu-37, noma mhlawumbe usufikile ekutheni ingabe ungakhulelwa uneminyaka engu-40. Noma kunjalo, ukuhlela kabusha okulindelekile kuyindlela enempilo. Umzimba ungase ungasabeli ngokushesha. Uma usuzama izinyanga ezimbalwa kungaphumeleli, lokho akusho ukuthi izinto sezonakale ngokuphelele. Odokotela bavame ukweluleka ukuthi ufune ukuqondiswa ngobunganga bokuzala uma usuzame izinyanga eziyisithupha ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40, ngoba isikhathi sidlala indima enkulu [7].

Uma umbuzo wakho uzungeza amathuba okukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-41, amathuba okukhulelwa inyanga ngayinye angase abe mancinane kuneminyaka engu-40, kodwa awona uziro. Abantu bayaphumelela. Ukusekelwa, ukubekezela, kanye nosizo lwezokwelapha okungenzeka konke kubalulekile.

Inhloso Nethemba

Lapho usesha izindlela zokwandisa amathuba okukhulelwa uneminyaka engu-40, umuntu angagxila emzamweni oqhubekayo, ekuhleleni isikhathi ngobuhlakani, nasekuthatheni imikhuba emihle yezempilo. Ukunciphisa imikhuba emibi efana nokubhema noma ukuphuza kakhulu kuvame ukuba yimpoqo, ngoba kungalimaza impilo yamaqanda nokulingana kwamahomoni jikelele. Khonamanjalo, izinto ezincane ezingeziwe ezifana namalubricant ahambisana nokuzala noma ukuzivocavoca okulingene zinganikela kancane ekwandiseni amathuba.

Ekugcineni, indlela ngayinye eya ebunina iyimfihlo yomuntu siqu. Abanye bathatha indlela ebanzi (holistic), abanye bamukela isayensi ne-IVF, kanti abanye bahlanganisa izindlela eziningana. Abantu baphinde behlukane ngendlela ababhekana ngayo ngokomzwelo. Uma ingqondo yakho igcwala imibuzo enjengokuthi ukhulelwa kanjani uneminyaka engu-37 noma ungazulazula kanjani ekushintsheni ukudla, ukuxhumana nochwepheshe nomaamaqembu okweseka kunganciphisa umuzwa wokuhlukaniswa [8].

Umugqa Wokugcina

Ukuba umama useneminyaka emikhulu akusaseyona into emangazayo. Yebo, kukhona imikhawulo ethile ye-biology, kodwa abantu bayaqhubeka bengena kule ndawo benethemba elibhekele eqinisweni. Kwa abaningi, umbono wokukhulelwa ngemuva kwama-40 uthonywa izinto ebezingekho eminyakeni yabo yokuqala: ukuzinza kwezezimali, ukuvuthwa ngokomzwelo, noma ubudlelwane obuzinzile. Lokho kungenza ulwazi lube yanelisayo yize kunezinkinga ezengeziwe.

Uma uhlose ukukhulelwa ngokushesha, khona-ke ukuthi ungakhulelwa kanjani uneminyaka engu-40 masinyane noma ungakhulelwa kanjani ngemuva kweminyaka engu-40 masinyane kungaba yimibuzo ekukhathazayo kakhulu. Kodwa sondela kukho ngokulinganisela nokuqonda. Xhumana nodokotela, landela isikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda, cabangela ukwelashwa kokungabi nenzalo uma kunconyiwe, futhi unakekele impilo yakho yonke. Alukho ifomula yomlingo eqinisekisa impumelelo, kodwa isinyathelo ngasinye singase sikhuphule amathuba akho kancane [9].

Ngakho-ke, hlala uvulekile engqondweni. Ukuzala kuyinkambu enezinhlangothi eziningi edinga ukubekezela, ulwazi, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ukwamukela ukungenelela kokwelashwa. Uma izimo zikuvumela, hlangana nochwepheshe kusenesikhathi ukuze kuhlolwe isimo sakho esiyingqayizivele. Uhambo lungase lungabi luyisicaba. Kodwa abantu abaningi bafinyelela umphumela abawufunayo, ngisho naseminyakeni emikhulu.
