Le umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho iqala emangqamuzaneni agudle ingxenye engezansi, ewumngcingo yesibeletho. Ingenye yezinhlobo zomdlavuza ezitholakala kakhulu. Nokho, abesifazane abavamile babhekana Ukuhlolwa kwe-Pap (= ukuhlolwa komlomo wesibeletho) kuvame ukutholakala futhi belashwe ngesikhathi. Lo mdlavuza uvamise ukukhula kancane futhi iningi labesifazane abalashwayo liyalulama ngokuphelele.

Izimbangela

Umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho ubangelwa izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi (ITS) ogama lakhe lingu- i-papillomavirus yesintu (HPV). Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kwama-XNUMX zamagciwane emndenini we-HPV, ezinye zazo ezidluliswa kalula kunezinye.

Ukutheleleka nge-HPV kuvame kakhulu. Ezimweni eziningi, ukutheleleka kulawulwa amasosha omzimba futhi igciwane liyaqedwa, ngaphandle kwemiphumela eyengeziwe emzimbeni. Kwabanye besifazane, igciwane liyabangela izimpi zangasese (condyloma) esithweni sangasese, esithweni sangasese noma emlonyeni wesibeletho. Udokotela uvame ukudinga ukwelapha lezi zinsumpa ukuze asize amasosha omzimba asuse igciwane. Kuyaqabukela, leli gciwane liqhubeka iminyaka futhi liguqula amaseli agudle umugqa wesibeletho emangqamuzaneni angaphambi komdlavuza, bese kuba amangqamuzana omdlavuza. Lezi bese zanda ngesilinganiso esingalawuleki bese ziveza isimila.

Izinhlobo ezimbili zomdlavuza

Ama-80-90% omdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho aqala ngaphakathi ama-squamous cell, amangqamuzana abukeka njengezikali zezinhlanzi futhi agxila ngezansi kwentamo. Lolu hlobo lomdlavuza lubizwa ngokuthi i-squamous cell carcinoma.

I-10 kuya ku-20% yomdlavuza iqala ngaphakathi amaseli wezindlala amaseli akhiqiza amafinyila atholakala engxenyeni engenhla yomlomo wesibeletho. Lolu hlobo lomdlavuza silubiza kanjalo i-adenocarcinoma.

Bangaki abantu besifazane abathintekayo?

Umdlavuza wesibeletho yi imbangela ehamba phambili yokufa komdlavuza, amadoda nabesifazane ngokufanayo, emazweni amaningana ase-Afrika naseLatin America. Bangu-500 abantu abasha abatholakala emhlabeni wonke unyaka nonyaka.

Ngonyaka we-2004, ngokusho kweWorld Health Organisation (WHO), izinga lokushona komdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho kwakungu-1 kubantu abayi-100 eCanada, uma kuqhathaniswa nabangu-000 kwabangu-31 eBolivia futhi beqa abayi-100 kwabangu-000 emazweni amaningi¹.

Ngo-2008, owesifazane oyedwa waseCanada kwatholakala ukuthi unalo umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, noma u-1,6% womdlavuza wabesifazane, kwathi abangu-380 bafa. E-Canada, kusukela kwethulwa ukuhlolwa kwe-Pap ngo-1941, izinga lokufa kwabantu ngenxa yomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho lehle ngo-90%.

Ukubonisana nini?

Uma une ukuphuma isitho sangasese esingavamile noma ubuhlungu engavamile ngesikhathi socansi, bona udokotela wakho ngokushesha.
