Majaha

We have the necessary medical and health care professionals right here at our disposal. We have doctors, nurses, pharmacists, biologists and other scientists right here at Inkundla. Now instead of us wasting their talents by utilising them to define such useless (but useful) issues like "umtshaza" , "inkophe", "inzipho", "amasendlisi" "umsundulo" and the like, I hereby suggest that we have an online health-care facility where we can field questions to them relating to serious medical and health problems that our people encounter daily.

For a start, we have Mthwakazians in the rural areas who suffer from all manner of illnesses, from head aches to diarrhea to malnutrition to dingindi to kwarshiokor to drops to syphilis to gonorrhea to mhedehede etc etc.

Now my proposal is that whosoever has a health problem (or his family back home), can ask our professionals like Dokotela , Mabila and others to answer and advise on such issues. What medication to buy, what diet to eat for those with obesity problems, what exercises to do for fitness enthusiats, what to do when you get infected with drop, what about bilharzia or malaria, what do you do when someone is suffering from meningitis, what about the endless illnesses that affect our kids.
One must emphasise that the information given here will be given in good faith and whosoever uses it does so at their own risk.

To kick start the whole process, let me set the ball rolling by asking our health professionals to give us a typical Mthwakazian diet which we can follow to stay health, no cholestrol, fat etc. What exercises to follow for those of us who spend too much time in the office with very little physical activity.
Siyabonga bafowethu nabodadewethu.

In response to your proposal brother Lobs, i have the same sentiments of sharing and helping my mthwakazians in their health related problems in this forum freely.

I will make efforts to answer your questions clearly and as simple as posible. I wish this provision not to be abused by anyone of us, but be used to benefit the Mthwakazi people.

I'm a bit tied-up right now, and will be aswering your questions latter.

Baba Dokotela

Hawu, nkosi yami bathi ukwanda kwaliwa ngabathakathi baba. Siyabonga mfowethu, ungadinwa lakusasa , sicela bonke abafowethu labodadewethu abakwezempilo lani lingenele umkhosi lo sincedeneni bakithi.

We need to emphasise that the medical advice given in this forum will be given in good faith , so please do not abuse it bafowethu. One must also add that this does not mean people should stop visiting their doctors for any illness or medical examination whatsoever, this is just a community service by our medical experts, free of charge. It is available to us at our own risk.

Siyabonga baba Dokotela, ungadinwa lakusasa jahelidala.

Mthwakazi Omuhle

Siyawubonga kakhulu umbono ka Lobs. Muhle ubanzi.Sizazama ngamandla ethu onke ukuncedisana loMthwakazi ngeze Mpilo. Lapho esisilelela khona, sizakutsho njalo.Sichithe isikhathi eside kakhulu sincedisana ukwakha imizi, sixoxa njalo lange courtship lama players ethandweni, konke kuyikudinga injabulo esinika impilakahle emzimbeni lase ngqondweni. Dokotela kengiphambuke kancane ngibonisane lomfowenu singakahlabani amajekiseni.

Ngixolela, ungivumele ngehlukane lawe kancane ngekuchasiseni izitho zomzimba lokusebenza kwazo ngolimi lwesiNdebele Lobs. Angivumelani lawe when you coin some of the work done on the named pages as useless and a waste of our talent. What this exercise has unequavocally highlighted, at elast for me, is the inadequacy of our language in defining and explaining isimo somuntu ngesindebele. IsiNdebele sethu, I can safely say can only attempt to define and explain the human body and function ngokwebanga elingaphansi kwe 30% and I am being generous.

Asibokuthi nxa sikhuluma nge African Renaissance sicabange banzi langendimi zethu. I am quickly taken back to the historical renaissance era esayifunda eprimary eyabo Michael Angelo bependa lokubaza imizimba yabantu. They forced their languages to create over 5000 new terms in order to accomodate the new inventions, technologies and terminologies. Thina sahle sasala and sekusificile. Sekumele sixoxe yonke into ngesilungu. Asinabululeni ulimi lwethu to accomodate esikufundayo.

Kambe kungaya ngasifudlana lithutshe esilikhalela nsukuzonke elika Mthwakazi, indimi zethu zizaba ngama officila languages of ceremonial significance kuphela? Kumele senelise ukusebenzisa i official language zonke ndawo. Mina ngibona nje wonke ama professional groups kaMthwakazi ele challenge yokuxoxa i jargon yabo nge SiNdebele. Ngihawukela ngife nxa oProfessor bama ngisi beqeqetsha baze baye phutsha ngolimi luka Mama. How easy that must be for them. Mina ngiyakhanywa kwezinye insuku ngingatsho lengikufisayo ngoba ulimi lungolwabanikazi. Nanso ichallenge kwabafundisa indimi zako Mthwakazi. Nanso i project kaMthwakazi eyesabekayo okwamagama, eyokunabulula indimi zethu to accomodate modernism and all its complexities!

Okwesibili Lobs, ngibona angani kufuneka a serious cultural paradigm shift endleleni esibheka ngayo izitho zokwandisa isizwe. Yindaba ziyinhlamba? Zihlambaza bani? Angali ukuthi ziyahloniphisa hayi kodwa inhlamba ngazo ngeyani. Kuze kwehlule qotho loku advertisa i condom ku television in the face of imminent and inevitable monumental deaths of AIDS. UBaba uJoshua Nkomo wathi khuphani it's not cultural!Silodubo!

If the current terms used to name sexual organs ngesintu are so unpalatable, kwenziweni? Do we need to come up with new terms, more polite and comfortable for our psyche? Ukusilelela kolimi khonapha sekusilimazile sehluleka lokuchazela abantu ngendlela ebalulekileyo ngezifo zabo. We cannot for instance in SiNdebele conveniently differentiate arteries from veins from nerves, from lymphatic vessels konke yimithambo. Habeeeeeee! Asikhuliseni ulimi. Lawe Lobs sifuna ukukuzwa utshaya ezomkhonomi le finance ngesintu oinflatuon laba labo rate of return hk hk size siboleke lathi ezinye izizwe amabala.

Yikubona kwami ke lokhu ngokuthanda iSindebele sika Mama!

Ngivotelani ngibe ngu President lizabona hk hk!

Singakwenza lokho kodwa olohlupho akahambe aye bona udokotela wakhe. Yikho kuphela okungamsiza.

Mabs

Because this thread is for our healthcare issues, I will be very brief in my answer to your concern above. Firstly I acknowledge and respect your views relating to "izitho zomzimba" and their description in Ndebele. One must also further acknowledge that as a medical and healthcare professional discussing these features is just part and parcel of your profession hence acceptable. But my feeling is that culturally, our sociatal norms have taught us that these issues be "respected" and be regarded as taboo particularly for younger persons. Taboo in the sense that our youth must never engage in any activity that combines these two poles and generate heat in the process leading to loss of libido (idobi?) nk nk.
Iam merely emphasising the cultural aspect to this issue.
because we are now educated does not mean we should forego or discard our cultural value systems. Look at the Middle East, because of their strong laws prohibiting promiscuity and adultry (ukweqa uthango) which carries a possible death sentence, HIV-AIDS is virtually unknown there.
Now, because through education we learn that in Korea for example they eat dogs and cats as a delicacy, it does not necessarily mean we must now have a cartblanche wanton slaughter of our pets and start braaing them. The Japanese have embraced education but maintained their culture. The Chinese have done the same. We learn from tales that in the DRC the Kasayis eat fellow human beings, that does not mean all of a sudden Lobengula must eat Mabila!!!!! nk nk nk. Not that I can't eat you( look at my picture >>lion!!!), no, but i must not do so only just because I have learnt this from "education". I must preserve my culture.

Bantu, hatshi Lobs impendulo engilayo kuwe inde kakhulu njalo.Sengibuye ngizibuze ukuthi litshoni lelo baba kanti elithi "culture." Must we hold on to norms ezilimazayo ngoba yi culture yethu? Yikho phela kumele senze umehluko thina esifundileyo.

Ngiphosele nje elincane amsebenzini omuhle kaDokotela:
Ukudla kwesintu okunengi kuhle njalo ngendlela esipheka ngayo emakhaya eyoku bilisa lokosa inhle yenza singasebenzisi amafutha amanengi ekuphekeni. Lokhu kupheka kulungele inhliziyo lemithambo yethu yegazi.

Silabo:
Nyawuthi, mabele, phoko, mathanga, amakhomane, amakhabe,lude, ndumba, bhobola, mazambane,nkukhu lamaqanda, mbuzi,ndlubu, nyama ye nkomo, tshomoliya, mumbu lezithelo ezinengenengi ezeganga. Yikudla okuhle konke lokhu.

Sengike ngabona, ngingazi kumbe luyatholakala, ugwalo olulotshwe ngu Mrs. T Khumalo,umama obeyi Nutritionist eMinistry of Health, lapho aloba khona ama recipes okudla kwesintu. Umama lo uyakuthakazelela kakhulu ukupheka ukudla kwakithi. Lufuneni lulusizo.

Singazijwayeza ukudla lokhu kudla komdabu, ku safe kakhulu. Indlela esidla ngayo inyama eyokudobha amaqatha amabili amathathu yisafety measure enkulu for us kulokudla ama cuts njengabelungu othola inyama iyiyo enegi emganwini. Inyama ilama futha amanengi yikho nje ihlabusa.

Asiqaleni ngokuquma in half ukudla esikuphakelwayo eynye ihalf ibe ngeyomunye.That is a way to start kulokulandela ama diet okudla okudulayo lokunye esingakutholiyo. Sidla isitshwala esinengi kakhulu. Kasiqunyelweni siphiwe ingxenye yomganu esiwejwayeleyo. Siqume itswayi letshukela njalo. Nxa kade ufaka 3teaspoons ze tshukela quma to 11/2 ubone. ngokuya kwesikhathi uzakwejwayela. Uye njalo uqume uze ucine ungasalifaki. Senze njalo letswayi. Uma ubufaka i teaspoon ezimbili embizeni, qala ukufaka eyodwa.

I T-bone eyosiwayo, asiyekeleni ukudla leliya futha elihlabusayo elithi shwa shwa! Asizifuniseni nje ukususa all visible fat enyameni singakayosi loba ukuyipheka. Singasa frayi nyama yosiwe nje kmilweni kumbe ku oven. Lokho kwenza amafutha onke ecengeke singakayidli. Iqanda libe ngeli scrambled, boiled loba porched.Lalo kalidliwe kabili kathathu ngeviki hatshi nsukuzonke. Nxa sithenga uchago ezitolo, sithenge iskim milk ibe yiyo esidla ngayo i cereal yekuseni.Isicengiwe amafutha phela i skim le 2% ingcono kule full strength milk. Olwetiye ngiluthanda lujiyile njengolwembuzi kodwa bathi alulunganga. Lami ngisazama ukuzincitsha.

Dokotela lawe Mabila

Ngingahle ngibonge ngokuphangisa Dokotela baba lawe Ndlovukazi Mabila. Ukwanda kwaliwa ngabahamba ebusuku osambane labosikhova.

Further diet tips:

Replace all FANTA drinks with plain water. Carbonated drinks have no food value. Kuhle khona ukunatha up to 2L of water ngelanga. Hatshi i beer, plain manzi.

Eat at least 3 fruits ngelanga and keep the doctor away. Nanka awile ama orange eGwana. Nice.

Eat lots of vegetables carrots, beets, cucumber, tshomoliya, cabbage, brocolli, mathanga. Umganu wakho kawube colourful with greens, yellows, whites etc uyabe usudla kuhle ngempela.

Lingabi legunya bo Baba nxa liphiwa imiganu yokudla eqongileyo lithi yikho ukuba ngubaba womuzi, kulesifo lokhuya. Dlanini okulingeneyo and even demand smaller size plates.

Ukuhlafuna controls the amount of food we eat. Chew everything thoroughly loba kumnandi. Ingqondo gets the message that isihlafune kakhulu and sends a feedback message yokusutha.

Nxa usizwa angani awusuthanga, ungagijimeli ukwengezelela khonokho khonokho ukuthi usuthe uthi nsti, give yourself 30 minutes. If you are still hungry then, eat some more.

Dieting alone does not help. To yield desired results kakube le change in lifestyle.

I think you will meet resistence from amajaha amanengi lapha eNkundleni on this piece of advice. Needless to say I already consume a quarter of what I used to eat, I have realised that exercise is a key part of this whole dieting exercise as well. I think the biggest devil in this whole episode is beer. Beer and its consequential and concomitant babalaas are the twin evils of our healthy. Can you guys kindly address the impact of beer to our lives and what levels can be recommneded that are deemed to be medically healthy if any. What about smoking? How does it destroy our lungs? Waht about those who want to stop both smoking and beer? What programmes can they follow? And the dreaded babalaas? Is it true that it is still like HIV-AIDS in that it does not have a cure? Why does one have to drink more beer the following day in order to get rid of the mighty babalaas only to get more of it subsequently?
I hope iam not abusing you guys by posing these questions which petrify us everyday.

Bandla,

Lizaxola ukuyithenga kwami mina ngingowokucina kwi'class' yezempilakahle. Ngilokuncuncuncu engifuna ukukuchathekela ibandla.

Kumele umuntu adle ukudla okunengi ekuseni, (yikho kuthiwa yi'breakfast', hk, hk, hk). Okwemini kumele kubekulutshwana kulokwekuseni ngebanga mhlawumbe elingamatshumi amahlanu kokulikhulu (50%). Kuthi okwantambama kube kulutshwana ngamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu (75%).

Izizatho yilezi:
a) Umzimba wadalwa ukuba ulale ebusuku. Ngakho ungakhinkela intaba yokudla uyabe usitsho ukuthi i'factory' kayivalwe kodwa imitshina yale ilokhu igiga. Abecansi labo kubalula ukuthi badlale ngoba umzimba uyabe ungela diversion (Xola dade).

b) Umzimba uthola ilanga lonke ukuthi ugaye i'breakfast'.

c) Umzimba uthola ingxenye yelanga ukugaya i'lunch'(which is already of small quantity).

Ngizavumelana lenkosi yohlanga ukuthi i'exercise' layo iyancedisa i'metabolism' (buzani uDok) yomzimba.

Utshwala, ngizathi mina kukhona abasebetaditshile ngabo abathi buloncedo. Mina ngithi i'poison' inceda ngokukubulala. When is moderate moderate? Into ekholisisayo ivame ukuphica ingqondo icine ingasazi ukuba sekwedluliswe amalawulo. Ngakho ngithi wo! manini utshwala bo

Ugwayi lona ngizabasacarstic kanje, nxa uMdali wayethanda ukuba sibheme, wayezasibumba sile 'sikhiphantuthu' (chimney). Intuthu yegwayi ibalama'deposits' amnyamanyana angena ayohlala ku'lining' yamaphaphu. Ngenxa yokuba amaphaphu edalelwa ukucenga umoya la'ama'deposits' awenelisi ukungena ayothutsha lapho okuthutsha khona umoya, ngakho acina enze i'layer'. I'lining' yamaphaphu idalwe ukuba ihlale imanzi (to aid absorption of oxygen). Lama'deposits' acina ese'blocke' intunjana ezivumela umoya ukuba udlule. I'lining' le isuka iqale ukoma lapho oku'settle' khona ama'deposits'. Amamphaphu abesesoma-ke. Umzimba wadalwa ukuba uzivikele emkhuhlaneni lekuhlaselweni ngama'foreign-bodies'. Ngalokho ke amaphaphu wona azivikela ngokusenza sikhwehlele ukuze lokho okuyabe kuthe kwangena kiwo kuphume. A(o)babhemi abanengi yikho behlala belesikhwehlela, amaphaphu ayabe ezama ukukhafula lama'deposits' lokuqothula isikhwekhwe sama'dead cells' ayabe esephezu kwe'lining' yamaphaphu.

Singekela njani ukubhema kumbe ukunatha? Iqiniso konje vele liyababa njalo liyabulalisa. Okufunekayo yikuzimisela. Strong will, bobaba labomama. Zibuze ukuthi ungakakwenzi konke lokhu wawuvele usweleni, uzothola nix. Ngiyazi ukuba akulula ngoba umzimba uyabe usujwayele itshefu. Nxa usekela umzimba uyakutshela ukuthi usuzakufa, kodwa ungaqhubeka you definitely will die. Ungekela ungenelisa ukuthuthukisa i'quality' yempilo yakho.

Ngiyabonga, liqondise lapho okudinga ukuqondiswa bantu. Lingizwele mina isi'aram' senkosi.

Akula si 'aram' senkosi esiloba kuhle imicijo kanje Siphepheli. Kwi-klasi yezitho kutsho ukuthi uyazenzisa hk hk!

Sphepheli

Akusichazele kabanzi ngalokhu othi wena yisi "khiphantuthu". Is it also part of the human body ? Could it be amakhala because ngangibone ababhemayo beyikhupha ngamakhala intuthu. Can you tell us more about "isikhuphantuthu" lesi mgithemba amajaha amanengi would want to understand it better. Amakhala are they the only part of the body that human beings (or animals in scientific terms) releases this "ntuthu" nk nk nk. Baqinisile abakithi nxa bethi ukufunda akupheli.

How many kaloriz do we burn during sex, and which is the best way to burn amakaloriz lawo ukugijima kumbe icansi?
how many bpm must a normal nhliziyo yomuntu tshaya?

"Share your knowledge.It's a way to achieve immortality"

No major problems with musturbation. You must not do it excessively. Recent discoveries show that too much sex or musturbation reduces your sperm-count thereby reducing probability of making a fertile woman pregnant.

Because sperms have alife span of 3 days it is recommended to have about 3-4 ejaculations per week to maximise chances of fertilisation. Therefore musturbation may not be viewed as a health threat, if done properly.

If musturbation causes sterility, we would not all have been born. Your body reduces the sperm during your sleep.

I will give more technical details, if need be.

Hlathi,

I will answer you question later, please bear with me, my bro.

Dok lo Mabila

Ngiletha isibongo esikhulu esisuka ngaphakathi kwenhliziyo yami ngendlela eliziphathe ngayo ngokunikeza ulwazi lwenu ku Mthwakazi. Akululanga ukuthi umuntu azinekeze ukusiza uluntu kungelambadalo. Ngiyalihlonipha njalo ngilikhuthaza ngomsebenzi omuhle omkhulu elithe lawuthatha phezu kwamahlombe enu. Kuzabakhona abazathatha lula elikwenzayo, bakuphendulaphendula bakhulume kubi ngako, kodwa lingalahli ithemba ngoba bambalwa. Inengi lethu we appreciate your views kakhulu.

For the first time, ngibona ingqubelaphambili (esisuka lapha ebulenjini ku Nkundla) ngomsebenzi wokuthuthukisa usapho lwakithi.

Lobs

Ngeke sithungamele sonke ngoba asikuphiwanga. Ngithanda ukubonga ngomsebenzi lombono owenzileyo ngokuthatha ulwazi olusekhaya and channeled it to benefit isizwe. inkunzi ikhethwa ematholeni. Siwakhangele amathole afana lawe. Ungadinwa njalo ungalahli ithemba. Thina esingalelakho ukuthengamela sikhangele abafana lawe.

KUYINI I HIGH B.P

IBP ephezulu, yinkinga ejwayelekileyo ehlupha bantu banengi kakhulu. Ikakhulu abaleminyaka edlula 30. Ibizwa ngokuthi yi 'hypertension', kusisho ukuthi igazi emisipheni liyabe selihamba ngesiqubu esingayi siso. Lokhu kwenziwa yikuncipha kwemithambo yegazi.

INKINGA EZIVELA KU HIGH B.P

IB.P yenza ukuthi:
(1) ugazi licine lingafiki kuhle kwezinye izitho zomzimba.
(2) Inhliziyo isebenze kakhulu, okucina kusenza ukuthi umuntu olayo abe le 'heart-attack'.
(3) Imithambo yegazi idabuke, kumbe ilimale.
(4) Ingenza inkinga ezinkulu, njenge 'Brain Damage', 'Heart attack'.

OKUMELE SIKWAZI

Ma iHypertention isedlula 140/90 kufuneka umuntu azuze imithi ku Dokotela wakhe, ikakhulu ama 'Diuretics', enza ukuthi igazi libe 'thinner'. They reduce your blood levels, salts excess water thereby reducing ipressure.

Nxa umuntu ele diabetes njalo ele BP, kumele abe ku consistent monitoring scheme, ngoba kuba lobu nzimanyana.

I Hypertension ayila zitshengiselo njengeminye imikhuhlane. Yikho iyingozi. Abanye baya tshaywa likhanda kodwa kumele sinanzelele ukuthi indlela yokwazi yikuhlala sisiya hlolwa ukuthi inganani.

Inga buya yodwa Ihypertention, ngenxa yofuzo (genetic constitition of parent), ama contraceptive pills, itswayi elinengi, utshwala.

UKUYELAPHA

Ma ingekho serious umuntu angazama ukuzisiza ngo kuguqula indlela yokuphila. Lokhu angakwenza ngokwelula umzimba 'exercises'. Ukuzigcina ulomzimba omncane.

Cofa lapha uzuze eminye imicijo kulolu daba.

On saying this, i would like to advise you that, it is very important to seek professional help and advice of issues related to hypertension.

Vota ma, uthole uncendo ngalu mbalo.

Hlathi!

Ngike ngakhathazwa lami ngumakhelwana nge BP efisa ukuyizwisisa. Ngamchazela kanje:

Ungathatha impompi yebhayisikili ibeyinhliziyo yomuntu, ubusuthatha ihand globe ye rubber yona ibisimela imithambo yegazi esemzimbeni womuntu, inhliziyo umsebenzi wayo yikupompela igazi emzimbeni wonke lona eligijimisa o oxygen lama nutrients wonke. Kufuneka i pressure ethize ukuze amandla omoya osempompini uhambise umoya uzugcwale ku hand glove angithi. But at the same time, i hand glove layo iyanika some resistance. That is the physics principle obeyed by the blood pressure only that emzimbeni we are dealing with fluid pressure.

Njengoba esitsho uDokotela, i blood pressure e normal ngengu 120/80 mmhg. Lokhu kutsho ukuthi inhliziyo iswela 120 mmhg to contract and push igazi to the aorta and the rest of the smaller vessels. Ngemizuzwana emilutshwana inhliziyo iphumule ingapompi, i pressue ibangu 80mmhg. Kulapho okuvela khona u 120/80mmgh. Ungabona isisedlula 140/90mmgh limuka. isisebnza kakhulu idinga amandla to overcome some greater resistance. Okudingakalayo empilweni yikuthi siyigcine ikhonalapho ku 120/80 ingalethi ingozi eziqanjiweyo ekhasini esililayelwe ngu Dokotela.

In a normal adult person inhliziyo itshaya ka 72 ngomzuzu owodwa. Ungafaka iminwe emibili (first two fingers) lapho okuhlangana khona intamo lomhlathi wangaphansi uyayizwa ukutshaya kwayo nje uzihlalele khonapho. Kayiphumuli bantu inhliziyo from birth. Yedlula khatshana imitshina yema factory eyake icitshwe ngama khefu. Asiyilondolozeni ngokudla kuhle loku ekisesayiza.

Baba Soweto,
Impendulo yakho mayelana lama calories esiwatshisa ngo cansi leminye imidlalo, ikhona kukhasi "Asakheni Imizi". Bala ku post ka Mabila eyamhlaka August 17 ku web page "Abby Sexual Health".Ingacezelo ikhona yonke. Ngiyabonga.

Akelisichazele ngeMMR inection?

Can this lead to autism?

What are disadvantages of sinngle jabs over the tripple?

Are you referring to Measles Mupms Rubella injection Sinathamahewu?

Sinathamahewu bala lapha. Angikholwa ukuthi ukhona oselempendulo. Who really knows the cause of autism? What has happened to the genetic theory? If the link/causality or association is there, it is definitely less catastrophic than the Thalidomide saga. What morbidity rates are we talking about. Yekela sizwe ngaku Dokotela?
Basaqhwaya it would appear to me.

mmrautism

Mabila lo Dokotela, ngiyabonga kakhulu ngephendulo yenu regarding imbuzo yami ngeBP. I am sure isincede not only me but abanye njengoba kuyinto evamilelo kahkulu. Lingadinwa bakithi!!

1)What causes people to snore at night when they are sleeping? Is snoring a disease or a condition?

2) What is protaste cancer and why does it kill mainly adult males? What preventative measures can young males engage in now to prevent its future occuance?

3)What is breast cancer and what causes it? What can young women do to prevent it occurring?

4) What causes people to stammer (ukugagasa) when they are talking? Is it a disease or a condition or it is normal for one to stammer?

5) What is epilepsy and what causes it? Is it true that it can be passed from one person to the other through sharing the same food in the same plate? How can one prevent it?


I would like to thank our health professionals in advance for answering these questions.

1) Could stress be deadly?
2) What is IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is it curable?, is it related to stress?

Thank you.

Bakwethu.

You will bear with me, i will be travelling tonight and will probably be able to post some replies after by the end of the week. I will find away of copying your questions so i can work on them later.

During these two week i may also be offline.

Nkosi Lobengula,

Isikhiphantuthu = CHIMNEY. Akuhambelani ngitsho lamakhala lokhu ngiba amakhala engawokuhotsha njalo akhiphe umoya esiwuphefumulayo.

Or am I missing the joke?

Izithuthwana/epilepsy ngile social experience lazo emulini yakwethu both first and extended. Angilalwazi lazo in terms of medical knowledge kodwa ngizathi hatshi azithelelwana ngokudla/dlela ndawonye lozigulayo ngoba imuli zakwethu ngasezaphela ngazo.

Engikwaziyo yikuthi inengi leziguli zezithuthwana nxa kungasazange kumbambe phambi kwakho awungeke wazi nix ukuthi yiziguli. They are very normal people. Thina yithi esisuka sibenze angathi they are abnormal.

Ngikhule ngisonga ubaba wami omncane obezigula. He was such a fit specimen nxa zingambambanga. Exceptional soccer player and athlete. Le'IQ' yakhe was far much higher than mine(hk, hk!). He was an adept mechanic and electrical/electronics engineer.

But as soon as other people who he interacted with in schools/society/work(even church) found out about his 'condition' they would freeze him out. Why? They did not fully understand izithuthwana.

My request will be that those who can explain this condition in medical terms basisize kulinkundla basichasisele.

I prostate gland sike sayichaza ngakukhasi lezitho zomzimba ukuthi ngokuliqanda okuncinyane okugombolozele umlomo wesinye sabobaba.
ngokuya kweminyaka kuyavuvuka kwabathile obaba kube le cancer. kwabanye kuyazivuvukela kuphela kungayisiyo cancer. Babancgono ke labo ngoba kuya qunywa qunywa kulunge.

Okule cancer kuba ludubo ngoba i cancer ingathintwa inhlamvu zakhona zisuka zimemetheke zigcwale umzimba wonke zone lalapho akade kulenge khona.

Ngithole la ama websites achaza lula i epilepsy le snoring. I epilespy ngumkhuhlane othelela inhloni kakhulu kowugulayo ngoba uzwa ngabanye kuphela ukuthi wenze lokhu la lokhuya njalo uza isikhathi esinengi kungela warnig. Quite a miserable thing for sufferers. Awuthelelwana hathsi, but it runs in families. Awulani lobuthakathi futhi.

Ukuhoqa kubuhlungu ngoba ohoqayo katholi buthongo obunika umzimba ukuphumula odingakalayo ebusuku. Lezi nsuku kunakanwa lokuthi kuyabangela iBP

Lobs,

Ubongani Lobs kwala nje ithuba lokuphendula ngokugcweleyo. Medicine needs to be demystified.

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.

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?
