I-Ovulation yigama lenqubo eyenzeka ngokuvamile kanye kuwo wonke umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini lapho izinguquko zehomoni zibangela i-ovary ukuthi ikhulule iqanda. Ungakhulelwa kuphela uma isidoda sivundisa iqanda. I-ovulation imvamisa kwenzeka ezinsukwini eziyi-12 kuye kweziyi-16 ngaphambi kokuthi uqale ukuya esikhathini esilandelayo.
Amaqanda aqukethwe kuma-ovari akho. Phakathi nengxenye yokuqala yomjikelezo ngamunye wokuya esikhathini, elinye lamaqanda liyakhuliswa futhi livuthwe.

Kusho ukuthini ukuhlinzwa kwe-LH ngokukhulelwa?

• Njengoba usondela ekuphumeni kweqanda, umzimba wakho ukhiqiza amanani andayo ehomoni ebizwa ngokuthi i-estrogen, ebangela ulwelwesi lwesibeletho sakho ukuba lujiye futhi lisize ekwakheni indawo evumelana nesidoda.
• Lawa mazinga aphezulu e-estrogen abangela ukwanda okungazelelwe kwenye ihomoni ebizwa ngokuthi i-luteinising hormone (LH). Ukwanda kwe-'LH' kubangela ukuphuma kweqanda elivuthiwe esibelethweni - lokhu kuwukuqanda.
• I-Ovulation ngokuvamile ivela emahoreni angu-24 kuya kwangu-36 ngemva kokuhlinzwa kwe-LH, yingakho ukuhlinzwa kwe-LH kuwukubikezela okuhle kokuzala okuphezulu.

Iqanda lingavundiswa kuphela kuze kube amahora angu-24 ngemva kokuvuthwa. Uma ingavundiswanga ulwelwesi lwesibeletho luyachitheka (iqanda lilahleka nalo) bese uqala ukuya esikhathini. Lokhu kuphawula ukuqala komjikelezo wokuya esikhathini olandelayo.                                                                       

Kusho ukuthini ukukhuphuka kwe-LH?

Ukuhlinzwa kwe-LH kubonisa ukuthi i-ovulation isizoqala. I-Ovulation yigama lezokwelapha le-ovary ekhulula iqanda elivuthiwe.

Indlala ebuchosheni, ebizwa ngokuthi i-anterior pituitary gland, ikhiqiza i-LH.

Amazinga e-LH aphansi esikhathini esiningi somjikelezo wokuya esikhathini wanyanga zonke. Kodwa-ke, maphakathi nomjikelezo, lapho iqanda elikhulayo lifinyelela ubukhulu obuthile, amazinga e-LH akhuphuka ukuze abe phezulu kakhulu.

Owesifazane uvundile kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi. Abantu babiza lesi sikhathi njengewindi elivundile noma isikhathi esivundile.

Uma zingekho izinkinga ezithinta inzalo, ukuya ocansini izikhathi ezimbalwa phakathi nesikhathi sokuvunda kungase kwanele ukukhulelwa.

Ukuhlinzwa kwe-LH kuqala cishe emahoreni angama-36 Umthombo othembekile ngaphambi kokuphuma kweqanda. Uma iqanda selikhululiwe, liphila amahora angaba ngu-24, ngemva kwalokho iwindi elivundile seliphelile.

Ngenxa yokuthi isikhathi sokuzala sisifushane kakhulu, kubalulekile ukusilandela lapho uzama ukukhulelwa, futhi ukuqaphela isikhathi sokuhlinzwa kwe-LH kungasiza.

I-Diagnostic Kit ye-Luteinizing Hormone (i-fluorescence immunochromatographic assay) iwukuhlolwa kwe-fluorescence immunochromatographic ukuze kutholwe inani le-Luteinizing Hormone (LH) ku-serum yomuntu noma i-plasma, esetshenziswa kakhulu ekuhlolweni komsebenzi we-pituitary endocrine.
