Pinguecula

ʻO ka pingueculum kahi mea ulu maʻamau, noncancerous o ka conjunctiva. ʻO kēia ka mea kikoʻī, lahilahi e uhi ana i ka ʻāpana keʻokeʻo o ka maka (sclera). Kū ka ulu ma ka ʻāpana o ka conjunctiva i hōʻike ʻia ke wehe ka maka.

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ke kumu kūpono. ʻO ke kū ʻana o ka lā lōʻihi a me ka huhū o ka maka i mau mea paha. ʻO ka arc-welding kahi pilikia nui e pili ana i ka hana.

ʻO ka pingueculum ke nānā aku e like me kahi puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi, melemele ma ka conjunctiva kokoke i ke kole. Hiki iā ia ke hōʻike ma nā ʻaoʻao a ʻelua o ke kole. Eia naʻe, pinepine pinepine ia ma ka ihu (ihu) ʻaoʻao. E hoʻonui paha ka ulu ʻana i ka nui i nā makahiki he nui.

Lawa pinepine ka hōʻike ʻana o ka maka e ʻike pono i kēia maʻi.

ʻO ka lāʻau wale nō e pono ai i ka hapanui o nā hihia ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kulu maka lubricating. Mālama ka maka i ka maka me nā waimaka kūlohelohe e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka wahi mai ka wela. Hiki ke kōkua nui ka hoʻohana mau ʻana o nā kulu maka steroid haʻahaʻa. Kākaʻikahi, pono e hemo i ka ulu no ka hōʻoluʻolu a no nā kumu cosmetic.

He noncancerous kēia ʻano (benign) a maikaʻi ka kuanaʻike.

E ulu paha ka pingueculum ma luna o ke kornea a pale i ka hihiʻo. Ke hana kēia, kapa ʻia ka ulu ʻana he pterygium. Hana ʻia kēia mau ʻano ʻelua ma lalo o nā kūlana like. Eia naʻe, manaʻo lākou he mau maʻi kaʻawale.

Kāhea i kāu kahu mālama ola inā hoʻololi ka pingueculum i ka nui, ke ʻano, a i ʻole ke kala, a i ʻole inā makemake ʻoe e hemo.

ʻO nā mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i hiki ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i kahi pingueculum a i ʻole mālama i ka pilikia e komo pū me:

• Mālama maikaʻi i ka maka me nā waimaka kūlohelohe
• Ke komo nei i nā aniani nani
• Hōʻalo i nā mea hoʻonāukiuki i ka maka

• Anatomia maka
