I-rheumatologist yi-MD eqinisekisiweyo ye-MD ejolise kwizifo zamalungu-ngamanye amagama, i-arthritis. Ngexesha loko ungaya kwi-rheumatologist ye-osteoarthritis yomgudu, eli sebe lonyango liyaziwa ngokugqithisileyo kunye nokunyangwa kweendlela eziqhelekileyo, ezizenzekelayo kunye nokuvuvukala kwesifo.
Ngokutsho kwe-American College of Rheumatology, i-rheumatologists ziphatha izifo ezidibeneyo ngendlela efanayo namathambo, kodwa azinzi ukuhlinzwa.
Malunga neRheumatic Diseases
I-National Institute of Arthritis kunye neMisculoskeletal kunye Nezifo Zezikhumba (i-NIAMS) ithi izifo zengxubusho zichaphazela abantu abaqikelelwa kwizigidi ezingama-46 e-United States. Izifo ze-Rheumatic zibetha abantu bobabini kunye neentlanga kunye nobudala. I-NIAMS idibanisa ukuba abantwana abangaba ngu-300 000 baxhatshazwa ngesifo se-rheumatic.
Izifo zeRheumatic and the Spine
Asikho sonke isifo se-rheumatic esichaphazela umgudu, kodwa abo benzayo kunzima kakhulu ukuhlala nabo. Ziqokelelwe njenge (kwaye zithiwa) i- spondyloarthropathies kwaye ziquka iziganeko ezinobungqungquthela ezifana ne-spondylitis ene-ankylosing kunye ne- axial spondylitis.
Ezinye iintlobo ze-spondyloarthropathies zithintela amanye amalunga. Ngokomzekelo, i-spondylitis e-ankylosing idla ngokuchaphazela i-sacrum kwaye iphantsi kweyona nto ininzi, kodwa inokuchaphazela amaqatha, amahlombe kunye namadolo. I-Psoriatic arthritis ngamanye amaxesha inokuchaphazela umgudu kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ayifuni, kodwa iphantse iphazamise imiphefumlo yeminwe kunye neenzwane.
(I- Psoriatic arthritis , njengoko igama libonisa, lwenzeka kwabanye abantu abaneengxaki ze-skin psoriasis.) Ezi zimbini nje zemizekelo yeziganeko zentlobo ye-spondyloarthropathy engangonakalisi kuphela umgudu kodwa mhlawumbi ichaphazela ezinye iindawo zomzimba, kwakunye .
Ixesha lokujonga i-Rheumatologist
Uninzi lwezihlandlo eziqhelekileyo zomzimba, iintlungu okanye ukulimala azinzima.
Kodwa ukuba amaqabane akho akhathazekile kwaye ngokukodwa ukuba iimpawu zokuvuvukala (ubomvu, ukuvuvukala, intlungu, ukuqina, kunye nokulahlekelwa komsebenzi ohlanganyeneyo) ungadluli emva kweentsuku okanye ezimbini, ungadinga ukubona ugqirha.
Ngokuqhelekileyo, uhambo oluya kwiofisi ye-rheumatologist luqala ngokuqeshwa kunye nodokotela wakho oyintloko. Emva kokuvavanya wena, unokukuthumela kwi-rheumatologist ukuba ucinga ukuba kuyimfuneko. Ingaba ufuna i-rheumatologist okanye awukho, khumbula ukuba ngaphambili ubona ugqirha wakho wokunakekela ugqirha, kulula kakhulu ukuba uphile okanye uphathe imeko yakho.
I-American College yeRheumatology (ACR) iyaqaphela ukuba izifo ezihamba ngeemoto kunye nezifo ze-rheumatic zihamba kwiintsapho. Bathi ukuba nawaphi na amalungu enu entsapho (nangona bengabikho kwintsapho yakho eseleyo ) okanye unesifo sokuzimela ngokwasemzimbeni okanye isifo se-rheumatic, okanye ukuba iimpawu zakho ziba nzima kakhulu ngexesha elifutshane, ugqirha wakho kufuneka akubhekiselele i-rheumatologist ngaphambili ngaphambili.
I-ACR ithi kwakhona ukuba ugqirha wakho wokunakekela ugqirha unika unyango, le nto inokuphucula okwesikhashana izinto, kodwa xa uyeka impawu ziya kubuya. Kule meko, unokufuna ukuba ubone i-rheumatologist.
Ingxaki kukuba, ukuthatha le myeza phakathi kwexesha ubona yakho yocandelo lokunyamekela i-doc kunye nokuqeshwa kwakho kokuqala kunye ne-rheumatologist kunokukwenza ufumane ingxaki echanekileyo.
Enye into malunga nokuthatha imithi yesikhashana kukuba abantu abathile, kunokukwenza ukulibaziseka (okanye ukukhawuleza.) Ukulibaziseka kunokubangela umonakalo ongenakunyaniseka kumalungu akho. Kuyafana kunjalo, i-ACR ithi, ukuba awufumani unyango olufanelekileyo.
