Ingabe kungenzeka ukuthi ube nokuya esikhathini ngesikhathi ukhulelwe?

Isikhathi sokukhulelwa sigcwele imibuzo nokulangazelela ukwazi, ikakhulukazi uma kuwukukhulelwa kokuqala kowesifazane. Izinhlobonhlobo zezinguquko zenzeka emzimbeni wowesifazane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, futhi abesifazane kufanele bazi ngaleyo zinguquko ukuze bagweme ukukhathazeka nengcindezi.

Omunye umbuzo ojwayelekile abesifazane abawubuzayo ezinsukwini zokuqala zokukhulelwa uthi, "Ingabe ungakuthola ukuya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe?" Impendulo emfushane ithi cha — akuveli isikhathi sokuya esikhathini ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa [1]. Nokho, kukhona izikhathi lapho abesifazane bebhekana nokopha ngesikhathi bekhulelwe okuthathwa yibo ngokungaqondile njengokuya esikhathini [2].

Kulesi sihloko, sizoxoxa ngomjikelezo wokuzala kowesifazane, okuzokusiza uqonde izinguquko ezahlukene ezenzeka emzimbeni ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kanye nezinhlobo zokopha noma izikhalo ezingavela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Umjikelezo Wokuzala Kowesifazane

Umjikelezo wokuzala kowesifazane noma umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini uwumjikelezo wanyanga zonke olungiselela umzimba wowesifazane ukukhulelwa. Uqukethe izigaba ezine:

1. Isigaba Sokuya Esikhathini

Lesi sigaba simelela ukuqala komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini futhi sihlanganisa ukuchithwa kodonga lwesibeletho nokuphuma kwegazi lokuya esikhathini. Ngokuvamile sithatha izinsuku ezingu-3 kuya kwezi-7, kuye ngobude obujwayelekile womjikelezo wakho. Amazinga e-estrogen ne-progesterone aphansi kulesi sigaba futhi aqala ukukhuphuka lapho sekuphelile ukuphuma kwegazi lokuya esikhathini.

2. Isigaba Sefolikhuli

Isigaba sefolikhuli asiqali ngemva kwesigaba sokuya esikhathini, kodwa siqala ngosuku lokuqala lokuya esikhathini lapho kuqala khona ukuphuma kwegazi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi isigaba sefolikhuli siyahlangana nesigaba sokuya esikhathini.

I-pituitary gland ikhipha i-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), ekhuthaza ukukhula kwefolikhuli ema-ovari [3]. Ngaphezu kwefolikhuli eyodwa ekhula kulesi sigaba, kodwa kube kuphela ifolikhuli eyodwa yalawa evuthwa ibe iqanda. Izinga le-estrogen nalo liqala ukukhuphuka, liwugqamise udonga lwesibeletho ukululungiselela ukufakwa kombungu okungenzeka.

3. Isigaba Sokuvuthwa Kwamaqanda

Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda, okungukukhishwa kweqanda ema-ovari, kwenzeka cishe ngosuku lwesi-14 lomjikelezo wezinsuku ezingama-28. Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda kukhuthazwa ukukhuphuka okungazelelwe noma ukwanda kwehomoni ebizwa nge-luteinizing hormone (LH) [4].

Iqanda lihamba liye emgodini wokuzala limise ku-fallopian tube, lapho lilinda khona isidoda ukuze kufezeke ukuchuma. Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda yisikhathi lapho owesifazane enobuchule obukhulu bokukhulelwa, kanti amathuba akhe okukhulelwa aphezulu kakhulu uma amaseli esidoda ekhona.

4. Isigaba se-luteal

Ngemva kokuvuthwa kwamaqanda, ifolikhuli eqhuma ikhiphe iqanda iguqulwa ibe i-corpus luteum [5]. Le corpus luteum ikhipha i-progesterone futhi ilungiselela isibeletho ukuze sikwamukele ukufakelwa kombungu.

Kodwa uma ukuchumelana kungenzeki, izinga le-estrogen ne-progesterone liqala ukwehla, bese umjikelezo uqala phansi futhi ngokuba nesikhathi sokuya esikhathini.

Khumbula ukuthi udonga lwesibeletho luyachitheka, bese kuqala isikhathi sokuya esikhathini ekupheleni komjikelezo kuphela uma kungabange kubekhona ukukhulelwa. Uma ukukhulelwa kwenzeka, umzimba udlula ezinguqukweni eziningi ezahlukene ukuze usekele leli khuleko, elilodwa lazo ukuvimbela umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini. Lokhu kuphendula imibuzo evamile enjengokuthi ngabe ungaya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe noma ukuthi uma ukhulelwe ngabe ungaba nesikhathi sokuya esikhathini.

Yiziphi Izinguquko Ezenzeka Ngesikhathi Sokukhulelwa?

Nawa amanye amaphuzu abalulekile ezinguquko ezenzeka emzimbeni womuntu wesifazane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa:

• Izinguquko Zamazinga Amahomoni: Amazinga e-estrogen kanye ne-progesterone akhuphuka kakhulu ukuze asekele umbungu okhulayo. La mahomoni asiza ukugcina udonga lwangaphakathi lwesibeletho lapho ingane inamathele khona.
• Ukungabi Nokuvuthwa Kweqanda: Ngesikhathi sokufakelwa kombungu, umzimba uqala ukukhulula i-hCG, ihomoni emisa ngokuphelele umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini [6]. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akukho kuphumelelwa kokuqanda futhi okunye okwenzeka kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi sokukhulelwa lapho ingane izalwa.
• Udonga Lwesibeletho Olujiye: Udonga lwesibeletho aluchitheki, ngokungafani nokuvamile okwenzeka uma kungekho qanda elichumile. Esikhundleni salokho, udonga luyaqhubeka lukhule futhi lube lukhulu ukuze luhlangabezane nezidingo zengane ekhulayo.

Kungani Ukuyesikhathini Kungenzeki Ngesikhathi Sokukhulelwa?

Uma usuwufezile umgomo wokukhulelwa — ngesikhathi iqanda elichumile lifakwa esibelethweni — umzimba wakho uqala ukukhiqiza i-human chorionic gonadotropin (i-hCG). Leli homoni linikeza amasende imiyalo yokuyeka ukukhulula amaqanda [6].

Leli homoni liqinisekisa futhi ukuthi udonga lwesibeletho luhlala luqinile. Ngaphandle kokuchitheka kwalolu donga, akunakwenzeka ukuba kube nesikhathi sokuya esikhathini sangempela. Nokho, ungase ube nezinye izinhlobo zokopha ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, njengezimpawu zokopha okuncane ngesikhathi ukhulelwe. Pho kuyini ukuchafazela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa?

Ukuchafazela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kubhekisela ekuphumenikeni kwegazi okuncane okwenzeka ngesikhathi ukhulelwe futhi okungesona isikhathi sokuya esikhathini. Kubizwa nangokuthi ukopha ngesikhathi umbungu ufakelwa esibelethweni ngoba kwenzeka ngesikhathi iqanda elichumile lifakwa esibelethweni, ngokuvamile phakathi nezinsuku eziyi‑10 kuya kweziyi‑14 ngemuva kokuvuthwa kweqanda. Ukuzwa ukuchafazela ngemva kokuthola umphumela wokukhulelwa osekilungile kungakhathaza, kodwa kuvame ukuba kujwayelekile futhi kuhlobene nalezi zinguquko zokuqala zokukhulelwa. [7].

Izinhlobo Zokopha Ngesikhathi Sokukhulelwa

Ngakho-ke, uma kungenzeki ukuthi ube nesikhathi sokuyesikhathini ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, pho leyo mivimbo yokopha abesifazane abaningi abaye bayizwela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa iyini? Lo mbuzo uvamile kakhulu, futhi uyacaca ngoba kungaba nzima ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwegazi lokuyesikhathini nezinye izinhlobo zokuphuma kwegazi, ikakhulukazi uma owesifazane engazi ngezinye izinhlobo zokopha ezingavela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Okulandelayo izinhlobo zokopha ezingavela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa ezingenza udideke uzicabangele njengokuyesikhathini:

1. Ukopha Kokufakwa Kombungu

Ukopha kokufakwa kombungu kwenzeka cishe phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-10 kuya kwezi-14 ngemuva kokuvuthwa kweqanda. Lokhu kopha kuwuphawu lokuthi inqubo yokufakelwa kombungu esibelethweni isenzekile [7]. Kodwa umuntu angakuhlukanisa kanjani ukopha kokufakwa kombungu negazi lokuyesikhathini? Lo mqondo ubangela imibuzo enjengokuthi, ukubona igazi okuncane kubukeka kanjani uma ukhulelwe, kuhlala isikhathi esingakanani ukopha okuncane ekuqaleni kokukhulelwa, noma uqala nini ukubona ukopha okuncane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa?

Ukuvuza kwegazi ngesikhathi sokuyesikhathini noma ukopha kokufakwa kombungu kuvame ukuba mbala okhanyayo kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa negazi lokuyesikhathini. Umbala wokuvuza kancane ube mnyama ophuzi noma uphinki okhanyayo, hhayi obomvu obumnyama njengenkathi yokuyesikhathini [8]. Lokhu kopha kuhlala phakathi kosuku olu-1 kuya kwezingu-3, futhi akuwona wonke abesifazane ababa nalokhu kuvuza kwegazi okuncane.

2. Ukopha Kwamahomoni

Abanye abesifazane baba nokuguquguquka kwamahomoni ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, okuphumela ekuphumeni kwegazi okuncane. Nakuba kungesona isikhathi sangempela sokuyesikhathini, umbala wegazi ungakwenza kubonakale sengathi uyasesikhathini. Yingakho lolu hlobo lokopha luvame ukudida abesifazane bacabange ukuthi abakakhulelwa.

3. I-hematoma ye-subchorionic

Kuyinqwaba yegazi phakathi kodonga lwesibeletho neplacenta [9]. Lena imbangela evamile yokopha ekuqaleni kokukhulelwa, futhi abesifazane bangakuthatha ngokungafanele njengokuyesikhathini. Abesifazane abaningi abane-hematoma ye-subchorionic baqhubeka nokukhulelwa okunempilo kodwa lesi simo sikhuphula ingozi yezinkinga zokukhulelwa.

4. Ukutheleleka Komlomo Wesibeletho

Kuyukutheleleka komlomo wesibeletho, okuwuvulo lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane oluya esibelethweni [10]. Lokhu kuvame ukubangelwa izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi (STIs) futhi kungaholela ebuhlungwini nasekuphumeni kwegazi esithweni sangasese sowesifazane. Yingalesi sizathu abesifazane abangase bakuthathe lokhu kuphuma kwegazi njengokuyesikhathini bese becabanga ngokungafanele ukuthi abakakhulelwa.

Ukubhekana Nemibuzo Evamile

Kukhona ulwazi oluningi olungelona iqiniso mayelana nezinguquko ezenzeka emzimbeni wesifazane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Lokhu kushoda kolwazi oluyiqiniso kubangela imibuzo eminingi ezingqondweni zabesifazane abazama ukuqonda ukukhulelwa kwabo.

Nazi ezinye zale mibuzo nempendulo yazo:

1. Ingabe usaya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe?

Uma uzibuza ukuthi ingabe usengaya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe noma ingabe ungathola isikhathi sakho sokuyesikhathini uma ukhulelwe, impendulo ithi chaCha. Awukwazi ukuya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe ngoba umzimba uvimbela ukukhishwa kodonga lwangaphakathi lwesibeletho, okungukuthi imvamisa kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokuhamba kokuya esikhathini. Nokho, ukopha okuncane nokuchaphazeleka kwegazi kungase kwenzeke ngenxa kwezinye izimbangela.

2. Ingabe ungaya esikhathini ekuqaleni kokukhulelwa?

Awukwazi ukuya esikhathini kunoma isiphi isigaba sokukhulelwa, kungaba ekuqaleni noma ususeduze nokubeletha. Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini uyama ngemva kokufakwa kweqanda elichumile esibelethweni. Ukujima komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini kuchaza impendulo kumbuzo othi, ingabe usengaya esikhathini ngenkathi ukhulelwe?

3. Ingabe kungenzeka ube nesikhathi esincane sokuya esikhathini kodwa usakhulelwe?

Akukho lutho olubizwa ngokuthi isikhathi sokuya esikhathini esincane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Lo mbuzo ukhona ngoba abanye abesifazane kwesinye isikhathi baba nokopha okuncane ngesikhathi bekhulelwe, okuyinto empeleni ebangelwa ezinye izizathu, njengokufakwa kweqanda elichumile esibelethweni.

4. Ingabe kuba nokuchaphazeleka kwegazi okuncane uma ukhulelwe?

Ukuchaphazeleka kwegazi okuncane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kwenzeka ezimweni ezifana nokopha kwe-implantation kanye nezinguquko zamahomoni. Nokho, ungakuhlukanisa lokhu kuchaphazeleka kwegazi negazi lokuya esikhathini ngokubheka ukuthi ukubonakala nokuhamba kwale spotting yokukhulelwa kuhluke kanjani.

5. Ingabe uya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe?

Imibuzo efana nalena ethi, uma ukhulelwe ingabe usengaya esikhathini, imibuzo ethi ingabe ungakwazi yini ukuya esikhathini uma ukhulelwe, noma ingabe usengaya esikhathini uma usukhulelwe, ikhona ngenxa yokuchaphazeleka kwegazi okuncane (spotting) okuba khona kwabanye abesifazane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Impendulo ithi cha, awuyi esikhathini uma ukhulelwe. Ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, udonga lwesibeletho alukhishiwe futhi luhlala luyinqwaba ukuze lusekele usana olukhulayo. Yingakho owesifazane okhulelwe isikhathi sokuya esikhathini noma ukuya esikhathini kodwa ukhulelwe kuyinto akunakwenzeka.

Kufanele ukhathazeke nini ngokopha ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa?

Ngenkathi ukopha okuncane (spotting) ngokuvamile kungayilimazi, ukopha kakhulu kungaholela ezinkingeni zokukhulelwa. Kufanele ufune usizo lwezokwelashwa uma uhlangabezana nalezi zimpawu ezilandelayo:

• Ukopha kakhulu kunezicubu ezinqwabelanayo (clots).
• Ubuhlungu obukhulu besisu noma ukubaba.
• Isiyezi noma ukuquleka.

Izingcause ezingase zibangele ukopha kakhulu zifaka phakathi:

• Ukulahleka kwesisu: Ukopha kakhulu nokubaba esiswini esigabeni sokuqala sokukhulelwa kungase kubangelwe ukulahleka kwesisu. Ezimweni ezinjalo, ukwelashwa ngokushesha kubalulekile ukuze kuvikelwe umama kunoma imuphi umthelela omubi wokwehluleka kokukhulelwa.
• Ukukhulelwa kwe-ectopic: Kuyisimo lapho iqanda elichumile lifaka isikhonkwane ngaphandle kwesibeletho [11]. Lokhu kungabangela ubuhlungu nokopha kakhulu ngoba usana elikhulayo ngaphandle kwesibeletho lingalimaza ezinye izicubu zomzimba.
• Izinkinga ze-placenta: Izimo ezifana ne-placenta previa noma i-placental abruption nazo zingaba imbangela yokopha ezigabeni zokugcina zokukhulelwa.

Ukuvakashela uchwepheshe wezempilo kungakusiza uthole imbangela eqondile yokopha ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Ezimweni eziningi, ukuhlolwa ngesikhathi esifanele kungavimbela izinkinga ezifana nokulahleka kwesisu futhi kusize ukuqhubeka nokukhulelwa okuphilile.

Isiphetho

Isikhathi sokukhulelwa yisikhathi lapho owesifazane eqaphela kakhulu ngisho nezinguquko ezincane emzimbeni wakhe. Kwezinye izimo, abesifazane bayabona ukopha okuncane kwendlala yesitho sangasese ngesikhathi bekhulelwe, okwenza babuze imibuzo enjengokuthi, ingabe umuntu angaya esikhathini ngesikhathi ekhulelwe?

Impendulo elula ithi cha. Akunakwenzeka ukuya esikhathini ngesikhathi ukhulelwe ngoba udonga lwesibeletho alusakhishi ngemva kokufakelwa kombungu. Esikhundleni salokho, luyaqhubeka luba lukhulu ukuze lusekele ukukhula kwengane.

Kungenzeka ukuthi uhlangabezane namabala egazi okukhulelwa amaningi abesifazane awadida nokopha kokuya esikhathini. Amabala egazi okukhulelwa ahlukaniseka ngokucacile nokopha kokuya esikhathini, futhi akusona isizathu sokukhathazeka. Kodwa uma uhlangabezana nokopha okuningi, kufanele ufune usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha ukuze kutholakale imbangela eqondile futhi uthole ukwelashwa okufanele.

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa

1. Ingabe kungenzeka ube nokuhamba okuncane kokuya esikhathini kodwa usakhulelwe?

Lapho abesifazane bebona amabala amancane egazi ngesikhathi bekhulelwe, baqala ukukhathazeka ngokuthi uma ngikhopha ngingaba ngikhulelwe noma ingabe umuntu angaba namabala egazi ngesikhathi ekhulelwe. Ezimweni eziningi, ukopha okuncane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kuwukopha kokufakelwa embunjini, okuyinqubo ejwayelekile.

2. Uma ukhulelwe ingabe uya esikhathini?

Uma ukhulelwe, umzimba wakho ukhipha ihomoni ebizwa ngokuthi i-hCG. Le homoni iwuphawu lokuthi usufinyelele ekukhulelweni futhi ngeke usabe nokuya esikhathini kuze kube sekubelethweni kwengane.
