Cishe wonke umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho ubangelwa i-human papillomavirus (HPV), ebizwa ngokuthi “umkhuhlane ovamile” wezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, ngoba cishe wonke umuntu onobuntu obusebenzayo uzongenwa yiwo. Ngenhlanhla, amasosha omzimba anqoba izifo eziningi ze-papillomavirus yabantu, futhi iphesenti elincane kuphela labantu elithuthukela ekubeni nomdlavuza, ekugcineni libe umdlavuza. Kodwa kungani abanye abantu bengakwazi ukusula ukutheleleka uma abanye bengakwazi ukumelana nakho?
To answer this question, Dr. Melissa M.Herbst-Kralovetz of the University of Arizona Cancer Center, an associate professor at the Phoenix Medical School at Union University, studied 100 premenopausal women and found a link between vaginal bacteria and cervical cancer. Compared with cervical cancer and precancerous patients, women with no cervical abnormalities have different vaginal bacterial communities. This difference reveals the direct relationship between “good” bacteria and cervical health. “Bad” bacteria increase the risk of cancer.
Umphakathi we-microbial lapha ungumphakathi wama-bacterial parasitic emzimbeni womuntu. Isibonelo, amabhaktheriya e-lactic acid ahlobene nama-probiotic ku-yogurt, kepha ngokungafani nama-probiotic e-yogurt, amanye amabhaktheriya atholakala lapha angakhuthaza impilo yemvelo yesitho sangasese sowesifazane. Isibonelo, ucwaningo lwangaphambilini lukhombisile ukuthi abesifazane abane-microbes yesitho sangasese ikakhulukazi i-Lactobacillus enegesi kungenzeka basuse ukutheleleka kwe-HPV. Amagciwane amahle nawo angagcina indawo yawo futhi avimbele amagciwane amabi ukuba angene. Kodwa-ke, kwesinye isikhathi bazolahlekelwa le mpi yomhlaba.
Emdlavuzeni womlomo wesibeletho nasezigulini ezingaphambi kwesikhumba, ama-bacterial lactic acid-ibacteria enenzuzo-athathelwa indawo yingxube yamagciwane ayingozi. Ocwaningweni, njengoba inani lamagciwane e-lactic acid lehla, ukungajwayelekile komlomo wesibeletho kwaba kubi kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amagciwane ayingozi abizwa nge-Sneathia ahlotshaniswa nomdlavuza wangaphambi komdlavuza, ukutheleleka nge-HPV nomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho.
Sneathia are rod-shaped bacteria that can grow into fiber chains. They are related to other gynecological diseases, including bacterial vaginosis, miscarriage, premature delivery, HPV infection and cervical cancer. Dr. Herbst-Kralovetz ’s research found for the first time that a large number of Sneathia populations are associated with all stages of the HPV-to-cancer continuum, from the initial HPV infection to precancerous lesions to invasive cervical cancer.
Akucaci noma ngabe uSneathia uzokukhuthaza ngenkuthalo ukwakheka kwezifo ze-HPV noma umdlavuza, noma ngabe kwenzelwa ukuzijabulisa nje. Ucwaningo lwamanje lunikeza kuphela izifinyezo zabesifazane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ukuze kutholakale inkinga, ucwaningo lwesikhathi esizayo kumele lwenziwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
