ለምፅ ምንድነው?
ለምፅ ከተወለድን በኋላ የሚከሰት እና የቆዳ ቀለም ባለመመረቱ ምክንያት የሚመጣ የቆዳ ህመም አይነት ነው፡፡
ይህ ህመም በማንኛውም የሰውነት አካል ላይ ቆዳን ሊያጠቃ የሚችል ነው፡፡ ቪታሊጎ (ለምፅ) የሚከሰተው ሜላኒን የሚያመነጩ ሴሎች ሲሞቱ ወይም ሥራቸውን ሲያቆሙ ነው ፡፡ በመደበኛነት የፀጉር እና የቆዳ ቀለም የሚወሰነው በሜላኒን ነው፡፡
ለምፅ ሁሉንም የቆዳ አይነት ሊያጠቃ ይችላል ፤ ነገር ግን ጥቁር ቆዳ ባላቸው ሰዎች ላይ የበለጠ ሊታይ ይችላል፡፡
ቀለም የቀየሩት የሰውነት ክፍሎች አብዛኛውን ጊዜ እየሰፉ የሚሄዱ ሲሆን በተጨማሪም በፀጉር እና በአፍ ውስጥ ሊታዩ ይችላል፡፡
ለምፅ የሚተላለፍ በሽታ የሚመስላቸው ብዙ ሰዎች አሉ፤ ነገር ግን ለምፅ የቆዳ ቀለም እንዲጠፋ የሚያደርግ በሽታ ሲሆን በንክኪ አይተላለፍም፡፡
ለዚህ ህመም መነሻ ይሄ ነው ተብሎ በእርግጠኝነት መናገር ባይቻልም ፤ የተለያዩ መላምቶች እንደምክንያት ይጠቀሳሉ፤ ከነዚህም መካከል የሰውነታችን በሽታ የመከላከያ ስርዓት (immunity system) የራሳችንን የቆዳ ቀለም አምራች ህዋሳትን (melanocytes) በሚያጠቃበት ጊዜ የሚከሰት የቆዳ ህመም ነው የሚለው መላምት በይበልጥ ተቀባይነት አለው።
በዚህም ምክንያት ለምጽ በተመሳሳይ ሁኔታ ከሚከሰቱ ሌሎች ህመሞች (autoimmune diseases) ጋር ተያያዥነት አለው ተብሎ ይታሰባል ፤ ለምሳሌ ከስኳር ህመም፣ የእንቅርት ህመም (autoimmune type)፣ ላሽ (alopecia areata) ይጠቀሳሉ፡፡
ለምፅ ከጭንቀት (emotional stress)፣ ከእርግዝና እንዲሁም ከአደጋ ጋር ተያይዞ ሊከሰት ይችላል፡፡
ምልክቶች ምንድናቸው?
* የቪቲሊጎ ምልክቶች ብዙውን ጊዜ በአይን የሚታዩ ናቸው በመሆኑም በመጀመሪያ በእጅ ፣ በፊት እና በብልት አካባቢዎች ላይ ይታያል።
*የራስ ፀጉር ፣ ቅንድብ ወይም ጺም ላይ ያለጊዜው መንጣት ወይም ሽበት መታየት።
* ቪቲሊጎ በማንኛውም ዕድሜ ሊጀምር ይችላል ፣ ብዙውን ጊዜ ግን ከ30 ዓመት በፊት የሚታይ ነው ፡፡
* በሽታው እንዴት እንደሚስፋፋ ለመተንበይ አስቸጋሪ ነው ፡፡ በአብዛኛዎቹ ተጠቂዎች ዘንድ ህመሙ እየተሰራጨ የሚሄድ እና በመጨረሻም አብዛኛውን የቆዳዎን ክፍል የሚያጠቃልል ነው፡፡ አልፎ አልፎ ቆዳው ወደነበረበት ቀለም ሊመለስ ይችላል፡፡
ሕክምናው
የሕክምናው አሰጣጥ በእድሜ ፣ በቆዳ ላይ ምን ያህል እንደተስፋፋ፣ ቦታው ፣ በሽታው በምን ያህል በፍጥነት እየተሰራጨ እንደሆነ እና በህይወትዎ ላይ ምን ተጽዕኖ እያሳደረ እንደሆነ ይወሰናል ፡፡
መድኃኒቶችን እና ብርሃንን መሠረት ያደረጉ ሕክምናዎች(phototherapy) የሚሰጡት ውጤት ቢለያይም የቆዳ ቀለምን ምርት ለማገዝ ይረዳሉ፡፡አንዳንዶቹ ህክምናዎች ከባድ የጎንዮሽ ጉዳቶች እንዳሏቸው የጤና ባለሞያዎች ይናገራሉ፡፡
በመሆኑም መዋቢያ (ሜካፕ) በመጠቀም የቆዳዎትን ለምፅ ለመሸፈን መሞከር ሌላኛው የሚመከር አማራጭ ነው፡፡
የመድኃኒት ህክምናው ሂደት ውጤታማነቱን ለማወቅ ብዙ ወራትን ሊወስድ የሚችል ሲሆን፤ ምንም እንኳን ህክምናው ለተወሰነ ጊዜ ስኬታማ ቢሆንም የሚያስገኘው ውጤት ላይቆይ ይችላል፡፡
በሌሎች ህክምናዎች የቆዳ ቀለምን መመለስ ካልተቻለ፤ ቀዶ ጥገና አማራጭ ሆኖ ሊቀርብ ይችላል ፡፡
ለምፅ ለማከም ሁለት ዓይነት ቀዶ ጥገናዎች ጥቅም ላይ የሚሆኑ ሲሆን፤ የቆዳ ንቅለ ተከላ(skin graft) እና
የሕዋስ ንቅለ ተከላ (melanocyte transplant) ናቸው፡፡
ቀዶ ጥገና የሚከናወነው ለማይስፋፋ እና ባለበት ለቆመ የለምፅ አይነት (stable vitiligo) ነው።
እነዚህ አማራጭ ህክምናዎች በኢትዮጵያ ለመጀመሪያ ጊዜ በ መቐለ በቅርብ እንደሚጀመር የህክምና ባለሞያዎች ተናግረዋል።

10 Health Benefits of Spirulina
Spirulina is a type of algae that grows in fresh or salt water. It comes as a supplement, in tablet or powder form. People use it for its health benefits, as it is rich in nutrients and has antioxidant properties.
Spirulina is among the world’s most popular supplements. It is made from an organism that grows in both fresh and saltwater.
It is a type of cyanobacteriaTrusted Source, which is a family of single-celled microbes that are often referred to as blue-green algae. Just like plants, cyanobacteria can produce energy from sunlight via a process called photosynthesis.
Spirulina was consumedTrusted Source by the ancient Aztecs but became popular again when NASA proposed that it could be grown in space for use by astronauts.
These days, people use spirulina to boost the levels of nutrients and antioxidants in their bodies, and it may help protect against various diseases.

Note that it is often claimed that spirulina contains vitamin B12, but this is false. It has pseudovitamin B12, which has not been shown to be effective in humans.
2. Boasts powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
The main component of spirulina is called phycocyanin, which is an antioxidant that also gives it its unique blue color.
Phycocyanin can help fight oxidative stress by blockingTrusted Source the production of molecules that promote inflammation and providingTrusted Source impressive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
3. May lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Spirulina can help lowerTrusted Source total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol, and triglycerides, while also increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol, which are all risk factors for heart disease.
According to one reviewTrusted Source, spirulina was able to significantly improve these markers in people with metabolic syndrome and related disorders.
4. Protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation
Fatty structures in your body are susceptible to oxidative damage. This is known as lipid peroxidationTrusted Source, a key driver of many serious diseases.
ResearchTrusted Source found that the antioxidants in spirulina may be particularly effective at reducing lipid peroxidation.
In fact, one small studyTrusted Source showed that spirulina supplementation was able to reduce exercise-induced lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and muscle damage in 17 rugby players.
5. May have anti-cancer properties
While more studies are needed, some evidence suggests that spirulina has anti-cancer properties.
Research in animals indicatesTrusted Source that it may help reduce cancer occurrence and tumor size in various cancers.
6. May reduce blood pressure
One review of five studiesTrusted Source found that taking 1-8 g of spirulina per day could significantly reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, especially for people with high blood pressure levels.
This reduction is thought to be driven byTrusted Source an increased production of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that helps your blood vessels relax and dilate.
7. Improves symptoms of allergic rhinitis
Spirulina is a popular alternative treatment for symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and there is evidence that it can be effective.
For instance, one studyTrusted Source found that spirulina was more effective than cetirizine, an antihistamine used to treat allergies, in improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis and decreasing inflammation.
8. Could be effective against anemia
Anemia is fairly commonTrusted Source in older adults, leading to prolonged feelings of weakness and fatigue.
A 2020 study found that taking spirulina may improve anemia in pregnant people during the second trimester. In 2021, researchersTrusted Source also found it may also improve iron deficiency in young children.
9. May improve muscle strength and endurance
Exercise-induced oxidative damage is a major contributorTrusted Source to muscle fatigue.
Spirulina may help reduce this, as researchTrusted Source points to improved muscle strength and endurance.
In another studyTrusted Source, spirulina supplementation was able to improve oxygen uptake during an arm cycling exercise, with researchers noting that it could act as an ergogenic aid to enhance athletic performance.
10. Could support blood sugar control
Animal researchTrusted Source suggests that spirulina could help lower blood sugar levels.
However, according to one review of eight studiesTrusted Source on humans, spirulina supplementation in doses ranging from 0.8-8 g daily could significantly reduce fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
However, there was no significant effect on blood sugar levels after eating or levels of hemoglobin A1c, which is usedTrusted Source to measure long-term blood sugar control.
