Ukuqhekeka kuwukulimala kwemisipha okubangelwa ukugqabuka kwenani elikhulu noma elincane lemicu yemisipha (amangqamuzana akwazi ukufinyela aqukethwe emisipheni). Kungokwesibili emzamweni wokuqina okukhulu kunalokho umsipha ongamelana nakho futhi kuhambisana nokuphuma kwegazi kwendawo (okwakha i-hematoma).
Igama elithi "ukuqhekeka" kuyaphikiswana; kuyingxenye yesigaba somtholampilo esinobufakazi lapho sithola khona ukugoba, ukufinyela, ukunwebeka, ubunzima kanye nokudabuka noma ukuphuka.

Lokhu kuvumela umehluko phakathi kwezigaba ezine zesilonda semisipha somsuka wangaphakathi, okusho ukuthi kwenzeka ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi okungalandeli ukushaywa noma ukusikwa. Ukuwohloka kuhambisana ikakhulukazi nesigaba III futhi kufana nokudwengula kwemisipha.
