Ukuphuma koketshezi esigabeni se-luteal kusitshelani ngokuzala?

Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini inqubo yemvelo elungiselela umzimba wowesifazane ukukhulelwa njalo ngenyanga. Isigaba se-luteal yisigaba sokugcina somjikelezo wokuya esikhathini lapho umzimba wowesifazane usukulungele ukuxhasa ukukhulelwa.

Nokho, uma ukukhulelwa kungenzeki, izinguquko ezahlukene zamahomoni ziqala ukuklwebha ungqimba lwangaphakathi lwesibeletho futhi ziqale kabusha umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini. Kulesi sigaba, abesifazane abaningi baqaphela uketshezi lwesigaba se-luteal, olukhishwa ngaphansi kwethonya lezinguquko zamahomoni [1]. Lokhu kukhipha uketshezi kuvamise ukuba mhlophe ngombala futhi kube nokwakheka okukhulu nokunamathelayo (thick and sticky).

Ukuze siqonde ukuthi uketshezi olukhiphayo ngesikhathi sesigaba se-luteal lisho ukuthini, sidinga kuqala sifunde ngokujulile ngomjikelezo wokuzalana kowesifazane noma umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini.

Izigaba Ezine Zomjikelezo Wokuya Esikhathini

Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini uhlukaniswe izigaba ezine: isigaba sokuya esikhathini, isigaba se-follicular, ukukhipha iqanda (ovulation), nesigaba se-luteal [2]. Izinhlobo ezahlukene zezinguquko kulesi sigaba ngasinye zenzeka ngaphansi kwethonya lezinguquko zamahomoni ngenhloso yokulungiselela umzimba ukukhulelwa okungenzeka.

Nansi incazelo enemininingwane yezigaba ezihlukene zomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini:

1. Isigaba Sokuya Esikhathini

Isigaba sokuya esikhathini yisigaba sokuqala somjikelezo, esiqala ngosuku lokuqala kwegazi lokuya esikhathini. Lesi sigaba sihlala izinsuku ezingu-3 kuya kwezi-7, kuya ngobude bomjikelezo wakho. Kulesi sigaba, isibeletho sikhipha ungqimba waso, ophuma emzimbeni njengegazi lokuya esikhathini.

Lokhu kukhahlela kwegobolondo lwesibeletho kwenzeka ngoba isibeletho asizange samukele iqanda elichumiswe kumjikelezo odlule. Amahomoni okuzala kowesifazane, okuhlanganisa i-estrogen ne-progesterone, asezingeni eliphansi kakhulu kulesi sigaba. Ungase ube nokubaba esiswini (ama-cramps), ukukhathala, nokushintsha kwemizwa (mood swings) kulesi sigaba.

2. Isigaba Se-Follicular

Isigaba se-follicular siqala ngesigaba sokuya esikhathini futhi siyaqhubeka kuze kube isikhathi sokukhipha iqanda, sihlala cishe izinsuku ezingu-10 kuya kwezi-14. Kulesi sigaba, i-pituitary gland (igland esesiphongweni) ikhipha i-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), ekhuthaza ama-ovari ukuthi avuthise ama-follicle amaningi [3].

I-follicle ngayinye iqukethe iqanda, kodwa ngokuvamile i-follicle eyodwa kuphela evuthwa ngokuphelele bese ikhipha iqanda ngesikhathi sokukhipha iqanda (ovulation). Amazinga e-estrogen aqala ukukhuphuka ngemva kokuya esikhathini futhi aphezulu kakhulu ekupheleni kwesigaba se-follicular, esilungiselela isibeletho ukufakelwa kweqanda elichumiswe.

3. Ukuvuthwa Kweqanda

Ukuvuthwa kweqanda kwenzeka maphakathi nomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini futhi kuyisigaba esifushane kakhulu, sihlale amahora angu-12 kuya kwangu-24. Ukukhuphuka okusheshayo kwehomoni ye-luteinizing (LH), okubizwa nangokuthi i-LH surge, kubangela ukuthi elinye lamaqanda asevuthiwe likhululwe esibelethweni [4]. Iqanda lihamba lisuka esibelethweni liye eshubhini le-fallopian, lapho lingahlangana khona nesidoda ukuze kwenzeke ukuchanyuselwa.

Abesifazane abaningi baba noketshezi ngesikhathi lesi sigaba, okubizwa ngokuthi uketshezi lokuvuthwa kweqanda. Lolu ketshezi lucwebile, lushelele futhi luncane, okusiza isidoda ukuthi sihamba kalula singene emzimbeni kowesifazane. Abanye besifazane bangase babe nobuhlungu obuncane esinqeni, obwaziwa njengobuhlungu bokuvuthwa kweqanda noma i-mittelschmerz [5].

4. Isigaba Se-Luteal

Isigaba se-luteal siqala ngemva kokuvuthwa kweqanda futhi sihlala cishe izinsuku eziyi-14 emjikelezweni ojwayelekile wezinsuku ezingama-28 [1]. Ngemva kokukhulula iqanda, isikhwama esasiligcina siguquka sibe yi-corpus luteum esigabeni se-luteal, ekhishwa i-progesterone. I-progesterone iwujiyisa umcamelo wesibeletho ukuze usekele ukukhulelwa okungenzeka.

Abesifazane abaningi baba noketshezi olujiyile, olunobisi futhi olunamathelayo ngesikhathi sesigaba se-luteal. Uma kungabanga khona ukuchanyuselwa kweqanda, i-corpus luteum iyaphuka, bese amazinga amahomoni ehla, okuqala kabusha umjikelezo kusukela esigabeni sokuya esikhathini.

Kusho Ukuthini Uketshezi Lwesigaba Se-Luteal?

Amazinga akhuphukayo e-progesterone anikela kukho uketshezi olujwayelekile ngesikhathi sesigaba se-luteal. Lolu ketshezi lwehluke kokwesigaba sokuvuthwa kweqanda noma sokuya esikhathini futhi lubonakala lujiyile futhi luncane [1]. Lulimhlophe noma luphuzi okhanyayo ngombala, alunanaphunga.

Lolu hlobo loketshezi lujwayelekile futhi lukhombisa ukuthi umzimba ulungiselela ukukhulelwa noma ukuya esikhathini. Nokho, ezinye izinguquko koketshezi, njengombala ongewona ojwayelekile, iphunga elibi, noma ukuluma, zingase zikhombise ukutheleleka noma enye inkinga yezempilo. Uma kunjalo, kunconywa ukuthi uxhumane nochwepheshe ukuze inkinga ibonakale kusenesikhathi kufunwe nezixazululo ezingaba khona.

Ezinye Izinhlobo Zoketshezi Ezijwayelekile Ngesikhathi Somjikelezo Wokuya Esikhathini

Kuyo yonke imijikelezo yokuya esikhathini, uketshezi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane luyahlukahluka ngobunjalo, umbala, nenani kuye ngesigaba. Nansi isibukezo sohlobo loketshezi ongakulindela ezigabeni ezahlukene:

• Ngesikhathi Sesigaba Sokuya Esikhathini: Ukopha kokuya esikhathini kuyindlela eyinhloko yokuphuma, okuqukethe igazi, uketshezi, nendwangu yesibeletho. Kumbala obomvu omnyama futhi kuvame ukuhambisana nezimpawu ezifana nobuhlungu, imfutho, nokuhlanza.
• Ngesigaba Se-Follicular: Ukuphuma esithweni sangasese sowesifazane kuqala ukushintsha umbala, kusuka okubomvu kuya kokumhlophe, ngesikhathi sesigaba se-follicular. Ukuphuma ekupheleni kwesigaba se-follicular kuba sobala futhi kunamanzi futhi kuyanda njengoba kufika isikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda.
• Ngesikhathi Sokuvuthwa Kweqanda: Isikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda yiso lapho izinguquko ezivelele kakhulu zenzeka ekujetshezini lwesibeletho. Luba lukhulu, luyajiya futhi luyashelelela ukuze lwenze kube lula ukunyakaza kwesidoda [6]. Ungase uhlangabezane nokuphuma ngesikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda okufana noketshezi lwesibeletho, okuvame ukufana nobulubi beqanda.
• Ngesigaba Se-Luteal: Izinguquko zamahomoni emva kwesigaba sokuvuthwa kweqanda zenza uketshezi lwesibeletho lube lukhulu futhi lungasajiyezi. Ukuphuma esithweni sangasese sowesifazane ngalesi sikhathi nakho akusajiyezi, kuncane, futhi kunokuthungwa okufana nobisi olune-cream.

Kusho Ukuthini Ukuphuma Okuluhlaza Okotshani Noma Okuphuzi?

Ukuphuma okuluhlaza okotshani noma okuphuzi esithweni sangasese sowesifazane akujwayelekile futhi kungase kubonise ukutheleleka. Ngokuvamile kuwuphawu lwesifo esithathelwana ngocansi (STI), njengesi-trichomoniasis noma i-gonorrhea [7].

Ngezinye izikhathi, i-bacterial vaginosis noma eminye imithelela yokutheleleka ingaholela futhi kumbala ophuzi noma oluhlaza ekuphumenikeni esithweni sangasese sowesifazane. Lolu hlobo lokuphuma lungaba nephunga elibi futhi luvame ukuhambisana nezinye izimpawu njengokuluma noma ukucasuka lapho uchama.

Uma uqaphela ukuphuma okuluhlaza okotshani noma okuphuzi, kubalulekile ukuba ubone udokotela ngokushesha. Ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi kungavimbela izinkinga futhi kusize ugcine impilo enhle yokuzala.

Amathiphu Okugcina Umjikelezo Wokuya Esikhathini Onempilo

Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini ovamile uyinkomba yokuzala kahle kanye nempilo enhle yokuzala. Nawa amanye amathiphu angakusiza ugcine umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini ovamile futhi uthuthukise impilo yokuzala:

1. Gcina Ukudla Okunempilo

Ukungalingani kwamahomoni kuyimbangela evamile yomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini ongahlelekile. Ukudla amakhambi afanele, njengevithamini, amaminerali, namafutha anempilo, kungasiza ukulinganisa amahomoni [8]. Ungathola la makhambi ngokwengeza izithelo, imifino, okusanhlamvu okuphelele, namaprotheni anganawo amafutha amaningi ekudleni kwakho.

2. Zivocavoce Njalo

Umsebenzi womzimba ophakathi nendawo uthuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi futhi usize ekuhlelweni kwamahomoni. Nokho, ukwetula umzimba ngokweqile akukuhle empilweni yokuzala. Ukuhamba ngebhande, ukubhukuda, ne-yoga yizibonelo zemisebenzi yokuzivocavoca ephakathi nendawo engasiza ukuthuthukisa ukuhleleka komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini.

3. Lawula Ukucindezeleka

Imibiko ikhombisa ukuthi amazinga aphezulu okucindezeleka angaphazamisa ibhalansi yamahomoni futhi abambezela i-ovulation [9]. Ukucindezeleka okuqhubekayo kwandisa ihomoni ye-cortisol emzimbeni, okulimaza impilo yokuzala. Amasu okuphumula njenge-meditation, i-yoga, noma izivocavoce zokuphefumula ngokujulile angasiza ekunciphiseni ukucindezeleka.

4. Gwema ukubhema notshwala obudlulele

Izifundo zibonisa ukuthi ukubhema kungalimaza ikhwalithi nenani lamaqanda kowesifazane ema-ovary, kwehlise amandla okuvelisa inzalo namathuba okukhulelwa [10]. Utshwala lungaphazamisa amazinga amahomoni, okungaholela emijikelezweni yokuyeka ukuya esikhathini engajwayelekile. Ukugwema noma ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezinjalo kungasiza ukugcina umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini ophilile nohlelekile.

5. Cabanga ngezithasiselo zokuzala

Izithasiselo zokuzala kwabesifazane zingase ziwusekele umjikelezo ojwayelekile wokuya esikhathini ngokunikeza imisoco ebalulekile. Imisoco efana ne-folic acid, insimbi, ne-vitamin D isiza ukulawula amahomoni nokuthuthukisa impilo yokuzala iyonke [11]. Kubalulekile ukukhuluma nodokotela ngaphambi kokusebenzisa izithasiselo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zihlangabezana nezidingo zakho ezithile.

Isiphetho

Isigaba se-luteal yisigaba sokugcina somjikelezo wokuya esikhathini futhi umzimba wowesifazane uba usukulungele ukukhulelwa ngalesi sikhathi. Izinguquko zamahomoni esigabeni se-luteal zinesibopho sokulungiselela umzimba ukukhulelwa, okuhlanganisa ukujiya kodonga lwesibeletho kanye nezinguquko kumafinyila wesibeletho.

Lapho kwenzeka izinguquko ezinjalo, kuholela ekukhishweni kwesigaba se-luteal, okuvame ukuba mhlophe ngombala, kungekho phunga, futhi kuwugqinsi futhi kufane nobisi olugayiwe ngokwakheka. Lolu hlobo lokukhishwa luvamile kuze kube yilapho usuqala ukubona ushintsho kumbala wokukhishwa noma ezinye izimpawu ezifana nokuluma noma ukucasuka okuhambisana nalokhu kukhishwa.

Uma usuyaqaphela izimpawu ezinjalo, sincoma ukuthi ugweme ukuzihlola wena uqobo futhi uxhumane nochwepheshe ukuze uthole ukuhlolwa okuningiliziwe kwezempilo yakho yokuzala.

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa

1. Iyini isigaba se-luteal somjikelezo wokuya esikhathini?

Isigaba se-luteal siyisigaba sokugcina somjikelezo wokuya esikhathini. Senzeka ngemuva kokuvuthwa kweqanda nangaphambi kokuqala kokuya esikhathini. Sivame ukuthatha cishe izinsuku ezingu-14 futhi phakathi nalesi sikhathi, amazinga e-hormone i-progesterone ayakhuphuka ukuze alungiselele ugqinsi lwamafinyila esibelethweni ekukhulelweni okungenzeka.

2. Kuvamile yini ukuthi kungabi bikho uketshezi ngesikhathi sesigaba se-luteal?

Ezinye izifazane zingase zibone ukuthi kukhona uketshezi oluncane kakhulu noma alukho nhlobo ngesikhathi sesigaba se-luteal noma ngasekupheleni komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini, futhi lokhu kujwayelekile ezimweni eziningi. Kuba yinto ekhathazayo kuphela uma uqala ukuba nezimpawu ezifana nokuluma noma ukucasuka noma uma ubona ukuthi impilo yakho yokuzala iya ngokuwohloka.
