I-Discarthrosis, noma isifo se-disc degenerative, sichazwa ngokugqokwa okungenakulungiseka nokudabuka kwama-disc atholakala phakathi kwama-vertebrae angama-24 omgogodla. Ngokukhula, ama-discs aphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, agayiwe futhi alahlekelwe izindima zawo ezizuzisayo. Iminyaka yobudala iyimbangela enkulu ye-discarthrosis, eqala cishe eminyakeni engama-20. Kodwa uma i-discarthrosis ingenakuguqulwa, ngakolunye uhlangothi kunezindlela zokunciphisa ukuqhubeka kwayo ngokunciphisa ingcindezi etholakala emgogodleni.

Incazelo ye-discarthrosis

I-Discarthrosis, noma isifo se-disc degenerative, sichazwa ngokugqokwa okungenakulungiseka nokudabuka kwama-disc atholakala phakathi kwama-vertebrae angama-24 omgogodla.

I-disc ngayinye ye-intervertebral iqukethe indandatho enemicu (annulus) emaphethelweni kanye ne-gelatinous nucleus (nucleus) enkabeni. Izinto ezibalulekile zomgogodla, ama-disc aqinisekisa ukunyakaza kwawo - i-flexion, extension, torsion kanye ne-lateral inclination. Futhi banendima yokudonswa kokushaqeka uma kwenzeka kuba nomthelela noma ingcindezi ephezulu phakathi kwama-vertebrae amabili. Ngokukhula, ama-discs aphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, agayiwe futhi alahlekelwe izindima zawo ezizuzisayo. Bese sikhuluma nge-discarthrosis.

Izinhlobo de discarthroses

Kunezinhlobo ezintathu ze-discarthrosis:

• Ukuhlukana kwesibeletho;
• I-Lumbar discarthrosis;
• I-discarthrosis ehleliwe, ethinta ama-vertebrae amaningana ngasikhathi sinye.

Izimbangela ze-discarthrosis

Iminyaka yobudala iyimbangela eyinhloko nengagwemeki ye-discarthrosis.

Ukuxilongwa kwe-dysarthrosis

I-Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) yomgogodla ivumela ukuhlaziywa kwesimo se-disc intervertebral. I-Electromyography nayo ingasetshenziselwa ukuhlola impilo yemisipha namaseli ezinzwa ayilawulayo.

Abantu abathintekayo yi-discarthrosis

Akekho obalekela i-discarthrosis, eqala cishe eminyakeni engama-20. Ngokuvamile, amadoda athambekele kakhulu ku-discarthrosis kunabesifazane, kodwa lokhu kuthambekela kuguqulwa ngemuva kokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini.

Izici ezithanda i-discarthrosis

Ezinye izinto zingakhuthaza i-discarthrosis yokuqala:

• Ukuthambekela kofuzo;
• Ukungalingani okuzalwa komgogodla;
• Ukuhlukumezeka okuphindaphindiwe, ukushaqeka noma amandla okucindezelwa (abasubathi abakhulu);
• Ukhuluphele ngokweqile;
• Ukuntuleka kokuzivocavoca umzimba;
• Ukuma okungalungile nokunyakaza okungalungile;
• Ukubhema.

Azikho izimpawu

Esigabeni sayo sokuqala, i-discarthrosis ayibangeli ubuhlungu njalo, okungasho ukuthi ayivele ivuliwe.

Ubuhlungu bezinyosi nokuqina

I-discarthrosis yomlomo wesibeletho inesibopho sobuhlungu nokuqina entanyeni.

Ubuhlungu obungapheli obuya emuva

I-Lumbar discarthrosis ivame ukuthinta i-vertebra yesine noma yesihlanu ye-lumbar kanye ne-sacral vertebra yokuqala. Ingenye yezimbangela eziyinhloko zobuhlungu obungapheli emhlane ongezansi.

Izinhlungu ze-Neuralgic

I-Vertebrae ene-discarthrosis inganyakaza futhi inciphise enye yezimpande zesibindi. Ubuhlungu buye bube bukhulu futhi buphume buye ezingalweni, emuva nasemahlombe be-discarthrosis yomlomo wesibeletho nasethangeni, ethangeni, enkonyane nasonyaweni lwe-lumbar discarthrosis.

Ukugxila okuyinhloko kokwelashwa kwe-discarthrosis ukunciphisa ukuqhubeka kwayo nokuqeda ubuhlungu. Kususelwa ku:

• I-Physiotherapy ngokugcina nokwenza ngcono ukuhamba komgogodla, kuhlanganiswe nezeluleko ngenhlanzeko emuva ukuze kuncishiswe izingqinamba ezisetshenziswe emgogodleni;
• Izidakamizwa ezithomalalisayo, ezilwa nokuvuvukala nezicubu, ezingasiza ukunciphisa izinhlungu.

Ukuhlinzwa, okwenziwa njengesixazululo sokugcina, kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukufaka i-disc eyonakele kakhulu (i-arthroplasty), ukuhlanganisa ama-vertebrae amabili ndawonye (i-arthrodesis) noma ukukhulula imizwa.

Uma i-discarthrosis ingenakuguqulwa, ngakolunye uhlangothi kunezindlela zokunciphisa ukuhamba kwayo ngokunciphisa ingcindezi etholakala emgogodleni ngakho-ke kuma-disc:

• Nciphisa isikhathi sokuhlala;
• Lapho uhlezi, thatha ikhefu kaningi futhi ushintshe izikhundla;
• Qinisa umhlane wakho;
• Gwema ukukhuluphala ngokweqile ukukhulula umgogodla;
• Hlala u-hydrated;
• Susa izinto ezibhebhethekisayo ezifana nokudlidliza noma ukushaqeka okuphindayo.
