Iso elibomvu, ukuphuma emehlweni, amehlo anamathele? Kubonakala sengathi ikati lakho liphethwe i-conjunctivitis… Lesi sifo samehlo esivame ukubonwa abanikazi ngoba izimpawu zibonakala kalula. Yini okufanele uyenze ukukhulula nokwelapha ikati elithintekile?

I-Conjunctivitis ukuvuvukala kwesakhiwo esisesweni esibizwa ngokuthi i-conjunctiva. I-conjunctiva ulwelwesi lwamafinyila oluvala ingaphakathi lamajwabu amehlo, ingxenye yobuso benhlamvu yeso futhi ludlulele ekhoneni elingaphakathi leso (i-conjunctival cul-de-sac). 

I-Conjunctivitis ingathinta iso elilodwa kuphela noma womabili amehlo. Kubonakaliswa yizimpawu ezilandelayo zomtholampilo, ezizohluka ngokuqina kuye ngembangela noma ubunzima besifo:  

• Ububomvu;
• Amajwabu amehlo avaliwe ngokwengxenye noma ngokuphelele (uphawu lobuhlungu bamehlo);
• Ukukhishwa kwamehlo (uketshezi oluningi noma oluncane, ukukhanya kuya koluhlaza ngombala);
• Ukulunywa;
• Ukubukeka kwejwabu leso lesithathu (ulwelwesi lwe-nictitation);
• Iso libhajwe ngokuphelele.

Ngokuya ngezimbangela, lezi zimpawu ezisemehlweni zingase zihambisane nezinye izinto ezingavamile: 

• isifo sokuphefumula (ukuphuma kwamakhala, ukuthimula, njll.);
• ukuncipha kokudla;
• ukunciphisa;
• umkhuhlane;
• kanye nabanye.

Izimbangela ziningi futhi zihlukahlukene: kusukela ekucasuleni isikhashana kweso kuya kwisifo segciwane kuya ekuphenduleni kwe-allergies.

Uma i-conjunctivitis ithinta iso elilodwa kuphela, ngokuvamile ukusabela kwendawo. Uma kuthinta womabili amehlo, ukugula okujwayelekile kungenzeka kakhulu. Kodwa zonke izilungiselelo zingenzeka. 

Ukucasuka kwendawo noma ukuhlukumezeka

Ukuthintana kweso nento ethile endaweni kungase kube ngokwanele ukudala i-conjunctivitis: kungase kube udoti omncane noma okucasulayo kulwelwesi lwamafinyila (okungaba uketshezi, okuqinile noma igesi). 

Umzimba wangaphandle ungaphinde ushibilike ngaphansi kwamajwabu amehlo noma i-engeli yeso futhi ubangele lokhu kuvuvukala kwendawo (cabanga ngezakhi zezitshalo ezifana nama-spikelets adumile).

Izimbangela ezithathelwanayo

Amagciwane namagciwane yizimbangela ezivamile ze-conjunctivitis emakati. Lezi zibe yi-conjunctivitis ethathelwanayo, edluliselwa kusuka ekati kuya ekatini.

Amakati amancane, anamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka, athinteka ikakhulu kulezi zinhlobo ze-conjunctivitis. Bangakha amafomu anzima ngokukhishwa kwe-purulent, amehlo avuvuke kakhulu, amajwabu amehlo anamathele. Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, amanye amakati alahlekelwa iso elilodwa noma womabili ngenxa yalesi sifo.

Singasho isibonelo se- UFeline Herpesvirus (FHV-1) ebangela, ngaphezu kwe-conjunctivitis, izifo ezibalulekile zokuphefumula. Leli gciwane lingafihla futhi emzimbeni wekati elithintekile futhi liphinde lisebenze ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngezikhathi zokucindezeleka noma ukukhathala. Ukugonywa okulungile kunganciphisa noma kuqede ukutheleleka noma izimpawu zesifo.

Njengesinye isibonelo, I-Chlamydia ikati igciwane elidala i-conjunctivitis etheleleka kalula esakazeka kalula emaqenjini amakati ahlala emphakathini. 

Ezinye izimbangela

I-Conjunctivitis ingaba ukubonakaliswa kwezinye izimo zamehlo, ikakhulukazi uma ziphindaphinda noma zingapheli: ukukhubazeka kwamajwabu amehlo, i-glaucoma. Izifo ezithile ze-systemic zine-conjunctivitis njengophawu lokushaya: i-tumor pathologies (i-lymphoma), i-dysimmunity noma isifo esithathelwanayo (i-FeLV).

Ukungezwani komzimba nakho kungabangela i-conjunctiva okuthi, kuye ngesimo, ihlale ihlangene kodwa ngokuvamile izoba yizinhlangothi zombili futhi ihambisane nezinye izimpawu ezibanzi noma ezingaphansi kakhulu ebusweni noma emzimbeni.

Uma unomuzwa wokuthi ikati lakho liphethwe yi-conjunctivitis, kubalulekile ukuliyisa kudokotela wakho wezilwane. Uma kubhekwa izimbangela eziningi ze-conjunctivitis, kungcono ukuthi udokotela wezilwane ahlole ikati lakho ukuze athole imbangela ye-conjunctivitis futhi aqale ukwelashwa okufanele. 

Udokotela wakho wezilwane kuyodingeka enze ukuhlolwa kwamehlo ngokucophelela, ngokuhlolwa kwendawo. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi izivivinyo ezengeziwe ziyadingeka (amasampula, njll.).

Ezimweni ezilula, ukwelashwa kuhilela:

• ukuhlanza amehlo njalo;
• iso lehla ngendlela yamaconsi namafutha okugcoba amehlo izikhathi eziningana ngosuku (ama-antibiotic, anti-infective, njll.);
• uma kunesidingo, ikhola yokuvimbela ikati elihlabayo ekuzilimazeni ngokwayo ingafakwa;
• ukwelashwa ngomlomo kungase kunqunywe kwezinye izimo.

Uma ikati ligula kakhulu ngokugula okujwayelekile, kungase kudingeke ukuthi kulaliswe esibhedlela.

Ngaphandle kokubukeka kwabo okuhle, i-conjunctivitis iyi-pathologies edinga ukuxilongwa okunembile kanye nokwelashwa okufanele njengoba izimbangela zokubukeka kwazo zihlukahlukene. Uma ikati lakho libonisa izimpawu zomtholampilo ezibonisa ukuthi i-conjunctivitis, xhumana nodokotela wakho wezilwane ozoxoxa nawe ngenqubo.
