Trigeminal neuralgia ndi matenda omwe amapezeka mwachipatala.

Nthawi zambiri, ndi chifukwa chosadziwika kapena chachiwiri kwa chotengera chamagazi chomwe chimapondereza mitsempha ya trigeminal. Thandizo loyamba lovomerezeka ndi mankhwala. Carbamazepine (Tegretol®) ndi mankhwala omwe adaphunziridwa kwambiri mu matendawa ndipo atsimikizira kuti ndi othandiza. Komabe, ngati sizikuloledwa bwino kapena sizikukupatsani zotsatira zomwe mukufuna, musataye mtima, pali mankhwala ena angapo omwe angalowe m'malo kapena kuphatikiza nawo. Musazengereze kukambirana njira zothetsera mavuto osiyanasiyana ndi dokotala wanu. Lingaliro lanu ndi mgwirizano wanu posankha chithandizo ndi zofunika kwambiri ndipo ndithudi zidzakhala ndi gawo lothandizira kuti chithandizo chikhale chopambana.

Mwa anthu ochepa, neuralgia imayamba chifukwa cha kuvulala kwamapangidwe monga chotupa, multiple sclerosis, kapena aneurysm. Ngati mwataya chidwi cha nkhope, zizindikiro kumbali zonse za nkhope yanu, kapena muli ndi zaka zosakwana 40, muli pachiopsezo chogwera m'gululi. Dokotala wanu adzatenga zithunzi za ubongo wanu (magnetic resonance), chifukwa ngati apeza chimodzi mwa zilondazi, chithandizo chapadera chidzawonjezedwa kwa mankhwala opweteka omwe tawatchula pamwambapa.

Masiku ano, pali njira zingapo zothandizira chithandizo cha trigeminal neuralgia. Chifukwa chake muyenera kukhala ndi malingaliro abwino pamene mukuyembekezera kupeza, ndi dokotala wanu, "maphikidwe" omwe amakutsitsimutsani bwino!
