Ukuvuthwa yigama lenqubo eyenzeka kanye njalo emjikelezweni wokuya esikhathini lapho izinguquko zamahomoni zibangela ukuba iqanda likhiphe iqanda. Ungakhulelwa kuphela uma isidoda sivundisa iqanda. Ukuvuthwa kuvame ukwenzeka ezinsukwini eziyi-12 kuya kweziyi-16 ngaphambi kokuqala kokuya esikhathini okulandelayo.
Amaqanda aqukethwe kuma-ovari akho. Phakathi nengxenye yokuqala yomjikelezo ngamunye wokuya esikhathini, elinye lamaqanda liyakhuliswa futhi livuthwa.

Kusho ukuthini ukwanda kwe-LH ngokukhulelwa?

• Njengoba usondela ekuvuthweni, umzimba wakho ukhiqiza inani elikhulayo le-hormone ebizwa ngokuthi i-estrogen, ebangela ukuthi ulwelwesi lwesibeletho sakho luqine futhi isize ekwakheni indawo enobungani nesidoda.
• La mazinga aphezulu e-estrogen abangela ukwanda okungazelelwe kwenye i-hormone ebizwa ngokuthi i-luteinising hormone (LH). Ukwanda kwe-'LH' kubangela ukukhululwa kweqanda elivuthiwe esibelethweni - lokhu kungukukhishwa kweqanda.
• Ukuvuthwa kuvame ukwenzeka emahoreni angama-24 kuya kwangama-36 ngemva kokwanda kwe-LH, yingakho ukwanda kwe-LH kuyisibonakaliso esihle sokuzala okuphezulu.

Iqanda lingavundiswa kuphela kuze kube amahora angama-24 ngemva kokukhishwa kweqanda. Uma lingavundiswanga, ulwelwesi lwesibeletho luyaphuma (iqanda liyalahleka nalo) bese uqala ukuya esikhathini. Lokhu kuphawula ukuqala komjikelezo olandelayo wokuya esikhathini.                                                                       

Kusho ukuthini ukwanda kwe-LH?

Ukwanda kwe-LH kubonisa ukuthi ukuvuthwa kweqanda sekuzoqala. Ukuvuthwa kweqanda igama lezokwelapha le-ovary ekhipha iqanda elivuthiwe.

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

Amazinga e-LH aphansi kakhulu esikhathini esiningi sokuya esikhathini kwanyanga zonke. Kodwa-ke, maphakathi nomjikelezo, lapho iqanda elikhulayo lifinyelela usayizi othile, amazinga e-LH akhuphuka kakhulu.

Owesifazane uvame kakhulu ukuzala ngalesi sikhathi. Abantu babiza lesi sikhathi ngokuthi isikhathi sokuzala noma isikhathi sokuzala.

Uma kungekho zinkinga ezithinta ukuzala, ukuya ocansini izikhathi eziningana phakathi nesikhathi sokuzala kungase kwanele ukukhulelwa.

Ukwanda kwe-LH kuqala cishe emahoreni angu-36 ngaphambi kokukhishwa kweqanda. Uma iqanda selikhishwe, lihlala cishe amahora angu-24, ngemva kwalokho ifasitela lokuzala liyaphela.

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

Ikhithi Yokuxilonga ye-Luteinizing Hormone (ukuhlolwa kwe-fluorescence immunochromatographic) iyisivivinyo se-fluorescence immunochromatographic sokuthola inani le-Luteinizing Hormone (LH) ku-serum noma i-plasma yomuntu, esetshenziswa kakhulu ekuhlolweni komsebenzi we-endocrine ye-pituitary.
