Kuyaziwa ukuthi ukukhulelwa kuyakulahla ukuthi ugijimele endlini yangasese kaningi kunakuqala… ngokushesha okukhulu noma okuncane:

- Abesifazane abakhulelwe abayi-6 kwabangu-10 bahlangabezana “nezifiso ezicindezelayo” okunzima ukuzibambezela1.

- Kwabesifazane abakhulelwe abayi-1 kuye kwababili kwabangu-2*, lezi "zimo eziphuthumayo" zibangela ukuvuza komchamo.

- Abesifazane abakhulelwe aba-3 kuya kwabane kwabangu-4 "banengcindezi" yokungasebenzi komchamo, kusuka ku-trimester yesibili. Ukuvuza kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokuhleka okukhulu, ukudlala imidlalo, noma ukuphakamisa umthwalo osindayo… Noma yimuphi umsebenzi owandisa ingcindezi ngaphakathi esiswini usengozini.

Umbuzo? i isisindo sengane eselula imisipha, imisipha nemizwa esiza ekugcineni uhlelo lokuchama (ikakhulukazi i-urethra). Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi kungani ama-35% abesifazane abakhulelwe okokuqala bekhala ngokuvuza komchamo.3. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kuvuza kuvame kakhulu kwabesifazane asebevele bengomama. I- ukukhulelwa nokulethwa kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane kunciphisa i-sphincter we-urethra, kwesinye isikhathi olwela ukuqinisekisa izwekazi.

* Imiphumela yezifundo ezahlukahlukene ngokungabambeki komchamo iyahlukahluka. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinga labo lobufakazi kwesinye isikhathi liphansi.
