Yikho ngikulayela ko Dokotela wakho yena oseza fika ahlolisise ukuthi lingabe libangwa yini leloqolo. Angazi futhi ukuthi yibuhlungu obuvela emathanjeni, enyameni, emithanjeni kumbe emisipheni. Mhlawumbe yizitho ezingaphakathi kakhulu. Ngokubona kwami yana ku Qgiha wakho ungafaki le speyidi leso ungakamboni.

Ngokubona kwami, ukubulawa liqolo esintwini suggests ukuthi umuntu uyaya emacansini. It is acceptable ukuthi libulale abadala ngoba bona kusaziwa ukuthi bayaya emacansini. Yikho nje nxa umtwana lingambulala, bemvulela amehlo ukuthi kanti sesitshoni ngokuphathwa liqolo. Asazi njalo kumbe bakhona abalengcazelo ehlukeneyo.

Many things may cause iqolo ukuthi libe buhlungu. One othe cammon causes that i have seen is that of Repetetive Stran Injury (RSI), caused by improper use of gadgets like chairs and desks in a working environment or at home.

This form of injury can best be avoided by taking proper precaution in using chairs (proper sitting), desks and other things which they use predominantly.

Symptoms are severe and may grow if the person does not improve their behaviour. Common examples of RSI are the Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which affects mostly typists.

Mabila lo Dok,

Ngiyabonga kakhulu lingadinwa lakusasa.Your explainations ayazwakhala kakuhle, ngiyabonga.

Ngibona angani kwakugijinyiswa ukugezisa isisu to improve its functions kumbe singathi kwakuyi'detox' yasemandulo. Lokhu kwakusenzelwa ukuthi umzimba wenelise uku'absorber' wonke ama'nutrients' asekudleni kalula. Wawusithola sihlakaniphile njalo silamajwabu ahlambulukileyo, mama. Ababengaphoziswa wawufica belamehlo anwebekileyo (glazed), amhlophe okufipheleyo, uthole belesidensi lobuvila ubumangalisayo, besehluleka nje khona ukudlala labanye.

Judging by the mystery and mysticism associated with this "ngubhane" it seems there is more to it than meet the eye.
The answers given by our very own Mabila, Dok and others above suggest that we still have to learn a lot about this strange disease called "ngubhane". The question which we want to put to our esteemed medical team is: What exactly is this "ngubhane"? Is it a euphemism for something much bigger or its just one of those taboo subjects?
When one takes Laxative tablets in order to clean one's tummy or stomach , is this not part and parcel of cleaning the body of this dreaded but mysterious "ngubhane"?.

Olengubhane uyabe esizwani lokho okuze kumthume ukuthi azelaphe kumbe sithi adinge uncedo kwabangamsiza?
