Indlela yokuhlonza izimpawu zokuvuthwa kweqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini

Uma kukhulunywa ngokuzala, izinto zingadida, ikakhulukazi uma ungenazo izikhathi ezijwayelekile noma ungayi nhlobo esikhathini. Umbuzo ovame ukubuzwa wuthi izimpawu zokuvuthwa kwamaqanda ngaphandle kokuba nesikhathi—wazazi kanjani ukuthi kwenzakalani uma kungekho sikhathi ongasilandelela? Ngenkathi abantu abaningi becabanga ukuthi ukuya esikhathini kuwukhiye wokuqonda ukuzala, lokho akuhlali kunjalo. Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda kungenzeka ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini, futhi ukuqonda lezi zimpawu kungenza umehluko omkhulu uma uzama ukukhulelwa noma ukuphatha impilo yakho yokuzala.

Kulesi sihloko, sizongena ngokujulile emininingwaneni yokuvuthwa kwamaqanda ngaphandle kokuba khona kwezikhathi, izimpawu okufanele uzibheke, nokuthi ungayinquma kanjani imikhuba yakho yokuzala ngisho noma imijikelezo yakho ibonakala ingalindelekile. Noma ngabe bekuvele kukhathaza ukuthi ngingakhulelwa yini ngaphandle kokuba nesikhathi noma uzama ukubona ukuthi ungakulandelela kanjani ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda ngaphandle kokopha njalo, lo mhlahlandlela uhlanganisa konke odinga ukukwazi [1].

Amaphuzu Abalulekile

• Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda kungenzeka ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuthi ukhulelwe ngisho noma ukuya esikhathini kungasekho noma kungajwayelekile.
• Ukuqaphela izimpawu zokuvuthwa kwamaqanda ezifana nezinguquko kumafinyila esibeletho, ubuhlungu obuthambile esiswini, nokwenyuka kwezinga lokushisa komzimba oyisisekelo kubalulekile ekulandelweni kokuzala.
• Izimo ezifana nokubuyiselwa esimweni ngemva kokubeletha, i-PCOS, ingcindezi, noma ukungalingani kwamahomoni zingabangela ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini.
• Ukukhulelwa kuncike ekuvuthweni kwamaqanda, hhayi ekuyeni esikhathini, ngakho ukungena ngaphakathi kwembewu kungenzeka inqobo nje uma ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda kwenzeka. Uma uzibuza ukuthi yini usuku lokufakelwa, kubhekisela kosuku uqobo lapho isidoda sifakela iqanda, okumaka ukuqala kokukhulelwa.
• Ukusebenzisa amathuluzi afana namakhithi okubikezela ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda, ukugadla amafinyila esibeletho, nokugcina ukudla okucebe ngezakhi-nomzimba kungathuthukisa ukuqaphela ukuzala namathuba okukhulelwa.

Indlela Ukuvuthwa Kwamaqanda Okungenzeka Ngayo Ngaphandle Kokuya Esikhathini

Kumangaza abantu abaningi ukufunda ukuthi ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini kuyinto engokoqobo. Ngokuvamile, ukuya esikhathini kulandela ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda uma iqanda lingafakelwanga, kodwa kukhona okuhlukile kulo mthetho. Kungenzeka ukuthi uyazibuza, ingabe ungavuthwa amaqanda ungayi esikhathini? Impendulo ithi yebo, ngempela.

Lokhu kungenzeka ngezizathu eziningana. Abesifazane abasanda kubeletha, isibonelo, bavame ukukhishwa amaqanda ngaphambi kokubuya kwesikhathi sabo sokuqala. Ngokufanayo, abesifazane abanezimo ezifana ne-polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) bangakhishwa amaqanda ngezikhathi ezingajwayelekile ngaphandle kokuba nemijikelezo evamile yokuya esikhathini. Ukungalingani kwamahomoni okubangelwa ingcindezi, ukushintsha kakhulu kwesisindo, noma izinkinga ze-thyroid nakho kungaholela ekukhishweni kweqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini [2].

Enye imbangela engavamile ukulimala noma ukugobeka kwesibeletho (uterine scarring), okungavimbela ukuphuma kwegazi lokuya esikhathini ngisho noma kukhona ukukhishwa kweqanda. Kwabesifazane abasondela esikhathini sokuya esikhathini sokugcina (menopause), ukukhishwa kweqanda kungase kwenzeke ngezikhathi ezithile, nakuba ukuhamba kokuya esikhathini sekuqala ukungajwayeleka noma kumise ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke, uma ubukade uzibuza ukuthi ngingakhishwa yini iqanda ngingayi esikhathini noma ukuthi umuntu angakhishwa yini iqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini, impendulo icacile—kuyenzeka, nakuba kwenza ukulandela ukubeletha kube yinselele encane.

Ukuqaphela Izimpawu Zokukhishwa Kweqanda Ungena Esikhathini

Uma ungena esikhathini, kungase kuzwe sengathi akunakwenzeka nhlobo ukuthola ukuthi ukhishwa nini noma ukuthi ukhishwa yini iqanda. Kodwa umzimba wakho usaqhubeka ukuthumela izimpawu. Ukunaka lezi zimpawu zokukhishwa kweqanda ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini kungakusiza uqonde kangcono umjikelezo wakho, noma noma ukuya esikhathini kungase kungabonakali.

Esinye sezinguquko ezibonakala kakhulu sikwumswakama womlomo wesibeletho. Njengoba ukukhishwa kweqanda kusondela, lo msebenzi uba sobala, unwebeka futhi ushelele, cishe ufane namaqanda acwengiwe angakaphekwa. Lokhu kuqina kusiza isidoda ukuhamba phakathi kohlelo lokuzala. Ubuhlungu obuncane besisu noma ukugumbuqela, obwaziwa ngeMittelschmerz, buyinye inkomba ebalulekile yokukhishwa kweqanda. Kuvamise ukuzwa ubuhlungu ohlangothini olulodwa lwesisu esingezansi, kuya ngokuthi yiliphi iqanda elikhishwa yiphi i-ovary [3].

Ukukhuphuka okuncane kwezinga lokushisa komzimba ngesikhathi uphumule (basal body temperature) kuyenye inkomba enhle. Uma ulandela izinga lokushisa komzimba nsuku zonke, ungabona likhuphuka kancane ngemuva kokukhishwa kweqanda. Ezinye izimpawu zihlanganisa ubuhlungu nokuthamba kwamabele, ukuchitheka kwegazi okuncane, nokwanda kwesifiso sobulili, konke lokhu kubangelwa izinguquko zamahomoni ngesikhathi kukhishwa iqanda.

Lezi zimpawu zisiza ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane abakhishwa amaqanda kodwa bengayi esikhathini. Uma bewubuza ukuthi ziyini izimpawu eziyisi-7 zokukhishwa kweqanda, impendulo ihlanganisa ukuguquka komswakama wesibeletho, ubuhlungu obuncane besisu, ukukhuphuka kwezinga lokushisa komzimba, ubuhlungu nokuvuvukala kwamabele, ukuchitheka kwegazi okuncane, ukwanda kwesifiso sobulili, nokuguquka kwesikhundla nokuthamba komlomo wesibeletho [4].

Ingabe Ungakhulelwa Ungena Esikhathini?

Kungase kubonakale kungelula nhlobo, kodwa nempela ungakhulelwa noma ungenawo umjikelezo ojwayelekile wokuya esikhathini. Abesifazane abaningi babuza ukuthi, ingabe umuntu angakhulelwa engena esikhathini noma angakhulelwa ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini? Impendulo ithi yebo, ngoba ukukhulelwa kuncike ekukhishweni kweqanda (ovulation), hhayi ekuya esikhathini.

Isibonelo, abesifazane abangemva kokubeletha bavame ukuba ne-ovulation ngaphambi kokuba isikhathi sabo sokuqala sokuya esikhathini sibuyile. Kunjalo nangabesifazane abane-PCOS noma abanezinkinga zamahomoni—i-ovulation ingenzeka noma izikhathi zokuya esikhathini zingajwayelekile noma zingekho nhlobo. Uma isidoda sichumela iqanda ngesikhathi se-ovulation, ukukhulelwa kuyenzeka, noma ungase ube ungenazo izikhathi zokuya esikhathini izinyanga. Uma owesifazane efuna ukukhulelwa, ukulandelela izimpawu ze-ovulation, ukusebenzisa amakhithi okubikezela i-ovulation, nokugcina indlela yokuphila enempilo kungakhulisa amathuba okukhulelwa.

Imibuzo efana nokuthi usengakwazi yini ukuba ne-ovulation ungayi esikhathini noma ukuthi ungaba ne-ovulation ungayi esikhathini kodwa ukhulelwe, igqamisa ukubaluleka kokuqonda lolu xhumano. Yize izikhathi zokuya esikhathini zisiza ukulandelela imijikelezo, azidingekile ukuze kwenzeke i-ovulation noma ukukhulelwa [5].

Kungani I-ovulation Ingase Yenzeke Ngaphandle Kwezikhathi Zokuya Esikhathini?

Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi i-ovulation ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini yenzeke. Enye yezivame kakhulu ukululama ngemva kokubeletha. Izinguquko zamahomoni emva kokubeletha zingabambezela ukuya esikhathini, kodwa i-ovulation ingaqala futhi ngaphambi kwesikhathi sokuqala sokuba nesikhathi sokuya esikhathini [6].

I-PCOS ingenye imbangela enkulu yokungajwayelekile noma ukungabikho nhlobo kwezikhathi zokuya esikhathini. Abesifazane abane-PCOS bavame ukuba namazinga aphezulu wama-androgen, okuphazamisa i-ovulation futhi kubangele imijikelezo engalindelekile. Ukucindezeleka, ukushintsha ngesivinini kwesisindo, noma izimo zesithyroid nakho kungaphazamisa ukuya esikhathini kodwa kusavumele i-ovulation ukuthi yenzeke.

Kwezinye izimo, izibazi esibelethweni ezibangelwa izindlela ezifana nokuhlinzwa i-cesarean noma i-dilation and curettage (D&C) zingavimbela ukuhamba kokuya esikhathini yize i-ovulation ijwayelekile. Abesifazane abasemgudwini wokungena esikhathini sokuyeka ukuya esikhathini (perimenopause), leso sigaba sangaphambi kwe-menopause, bavame ukuba ne-ovulation engajwayelekile nezikhathi zokuya esikhathini ezingajwayelekile njengoba amazinga amahomoni eshintsha.

Kwabanye abesifazane, ukuqaphela ukuthi ngikhulelwe ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini kufika kungumangalo, kodwa kuvamile kakhulu kunalokho ongase ucabange. Ukuqonda lezi zimbangela kungakusiza ukuphatha kangcono amandla akho okuzala [7].

Indlela Yokwazi Ukuthi Ulungele Ukukhulelwa

Noma ungenazo izikhathi zokuhlela zokuya esikhathini ezijwayelekile, kukhona izindlela zokunquma ukuthi ulungele ukukhulelwa yini. Abesifazane abaningi babuza, ungakwazi kanjani ukwazi ukuthi ulungele ukukhulelwa noma ubazi kanjani ukuthi ulungele ukukhulelwa? Impendulo isekulandeleni izimpawu ze-ovulation nokusebenzisa amathuluzi okuqapha umjikelezo wakho.

Izinguquko ku-mucus yesibeletho zisezingeni elilula kakhulu ukuzibona. I-mucus esiza ekukhulelweni iyeluleke, icace futhi ishelele, ivela kakhulu ngesikhathi se-ovulation. Ukulandelela izinga lokushisa lomzimba wakho eliyisisekelo (basal body temperature) phakathi kwezinyanga eziningana nakho kungaveza amaphethini akhombisa i-ovulation.

Amakhithi okubikezela i-ovulation ayelinye ithuluzi elisiza kakhulu. La makhithi athola ukuhuzuka kwehomoni ye-luteinizing (LH) okwenzeka ngaphambi nje kwe-ovulation. Uma uzibuza ukuthi ungazi kanjani ukuthi nini ulungele ukukhulelwa noma ukuthi ungakutshela kanjani ukuthi ulungele ukukhulelwa, ukuhlanganisa lezi zindlela kungakunikeza isithombe esicacile ngokuzala kwakho [8].

Ingabe Ukudla Kungasekela I-ovulation Nokuzala?

Yebo, ukudla kudlala indima enkulu ekulawuleni umjikelezo wakho nasekuthuthukiseni ukuzala, ngisho noma ukuya esikhathini kungahleleki. Ezinye izakhi zokudla ziwusizo ikakhulukazi.

I-folic acid, isibonelo, isekela ukwahlukana kwamaseli okunempilo futhi yehla ubungozi bokuphazamiseka kwe-neural tube embungwini othuthukayo. I-myo-inositol ne-D-chiro inositol zikahle ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane abane-PCOS, ngoba zisiza ukulawula amahomoni futhi zithuthukise ikhwalithi yamaqanda.

I-Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) nayo iwumvikeli-mzimba (antioxidant) onamandla ovikela amaqanda ekucindezelekeni okubangelwa i-oxidation. I-Vitamin D ibalulekile ekulinganiseni amahomoni nasekusebenzeni kwama-ovary, kanti amaminerali afana ne-zinc ne-selenium aseka impilo yokuzala [9].

Uma uzibuza ukuthi ingabe ungakhulelwa yini ungayi esikhathini noma ukuthi ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini ungakwazi yini ukukhulelwa, ukugxila ekudleni okunothe ngomsoco kungandisa amathuba akho okukhulelwa.

Ukulandelela I-ovulation Uma Ungayi Esikhathini

Uma uzama ukuqonda i-ovulation ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini, kungase kuzwe kuyinselele, kodwa kuyenzeka. Qala ngokubuka ushintsho kumchamo womlomo wesibeletho (cervical mucus) nokulandelela izinga lokushisa lomzimba eliyisisekelo nsuku zonke.

Amasethi okuhlela i-ovulation nawo angaguqula izinto ngendlela enkulu. Lawa masethi ahlola ukwanda kwamahomoni okukhombisa ukuthi i-ovulation isiseduze. Ukuhlanganisa lezi zindlela nohlelo lokusebenza lokuzala (fertility app) kungakusiza ukubona amaphethini ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, noma imijikelezo yakho ingahleleki.

Kulabo abazibuza ukuthi ingabe ungakhulelwa yini ungayi esikhathini noma abazama ukwandisa ukuzala naphezu kwemijikelezo engalindelekile, ukulandelela i-ovulation kubalulekile [10].

Okubalulekile Ekugcineni

Ukuqonda izimpawu ze-ovulation ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini kubalulekile uma uzama ukukhulelwa noma ukuphatha impilo yakho yokuzala. Nakuba ukuya esikhathini kunikeza inkomba ecacile yemijikelezo, akudingeki ukuze kwenzeke i-ovulation noma ukuzala.

Ngokufunda ukubona izimpawu zomzimba, usebenzisa amathuluzi afana nokulandelela izinga lokushisa lomzimba eliyisisekelo (basal body temperature) namasethi okuhlela i-ovulation (ovulation predictor kits), kanye nokusekela umzimba wakho ngokudla okunomsoco okwanele, ungakwazi ukuqonda kangcono umjikelezo wakho futhi uthuthukise amathuba akho okukhulelwa.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubube uzibuza ukuthi ngingakhulelwa yini ngaphandle kokuya esikhathini noma ubu zibuza ukuthi ungazilawula kanjani izikhathi ezingahleleki, okubalulekile ukuqonda i-ovulation nokuthatha izinyathelo ezisebenzayo. Ngokwazi okwanele nendlela efanele, ukufinyelela izinhloso zakho zokuzala kungenzeka ngokuphelele [11].
