Liwu lakuti "bulemia" mu chi Greek limatanthauza ng'ombe ndi njala. Matendawa amachititsa kuwonjezeka kwa njala, yomwe imapezeka nthawi zambiri mwa mawonekedwe a chiwonongeko mwadzidzidzi ndipo ikuyenda ndi ludzu la njala, zizindikiro zofala za kufooka. Matenda a bulimia angapezeke mu matenda monga central central nervous system, endocrine dongosolo ndi matenda ena a maganizo. Si zachilendo kuti matendawa amachititsa kuti munthu akhale wochuluka kwambiri.
Bulimia ikhoza kukhala ya mitundu iwiri: yapamwamba komanso ngati gawo lachiŵiri la anorexia. Pachiyambi choyamba, wodwalayo amagwiritsira ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Pa mtundu wachiwiri wodwala akusowa chakudya ndipo amalowa masewera, koma samagwiritsira ntchito mankhwala odzola. Choyamba, njira zothandizira matendawa m'makliniki a masiku ano a maganizo ndi cholinga choononga chifukwa chenicheni cha matendawa. Azimayi omwe ali ndi matendawa, yesetsani kubisala kumayandikana ndi achibale awo chilakolako chachikulu, koma sangathe kumenyana okha. Kuti munthu azitha kuchitidwa ndi bulimia ndizofunika mwamsanga ndipo popanda kuchedwa kwake, munthu amafunikira thandizo laumoyo ndi chithandizo. Odwala onse omwe amadwala matendawa amaganiza kuti salandira chilichonse kuchokera kwa anthu ozungulira, koma amapereka zambiri. Kugonjetsedwa kwa matendawa kukhoza kuchitika pambuyo pa mkangano ndi anthu oyandikana nawo, zopinga zilizonse kuntchito. Pa gawo loyambirira la matendawa, pali kudzikuza kwakukulu pomwe kulibe kudziletsa, kudzimvera chisoni ndi kudzimva kuti ndiwe wolakwa chifukwa chodya mowa. Zotsatira zabwino zothandizira matendawa zingapezeke kudzera m'maganizo ndi mankhwala.
Ndipo matenda ena, otchedwa anorexia , pomasulira kuchokera ku Chigiriki chakale amatanthauza chilakolako chodya. Matendawa ndi kukana chakudya pogwidwa ndi matenda a psychopathological. Kudya kwa odwala omwe ali ndi matendawa kulipo. Anorexia imagawidwa mu mitundu yosiyanasiyana:
1. Anorexia nervosa ndi kukana kwathunthu chakudya kapena kuchepetsa kudya chakudya cholemetsa kapena cholinga chokhala wolemera kwambiri. Chimene chimapezeka kwambiri atsikana. Ndi matenda ochepetsa chiwerewere, madokotala amawona chilakolako chofuna kupweteka kwa thupi, chomwe chimaphatikizapo mantha aakulu a kunenepa kwambiri. Wodwala amayamba kuda nkhawa ndi thupi lake ndikuganiza kuti kulemera kumawonjezeka, ngakhale izi sizichitika. Anorexia nervosa imagawidwa mu mitundu iwiri ya khalidwe: zoletsa. Pankhaniyi, wodwalayo amadziletsa kudya. Mtundu wachiwiri ndi kuyeretsa. Pachifukwa ichi, wodwalayo amadya kwambiri, ndiye amayamba kusanza ndikugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo.
Zomwe zimayambitsa matendawa zingakhale zachilengedwe, maganizo ndi chikhalidwe. Matendawa amatha kuonedwa kuti ndi matenda okhaokha omwe amawoneka ali achinyamata. Pafupifupi makumi asanu ndi anayi peresenti ya odwala matendawa ndi atsikana osakwana zaka 24. Ndipo magawo khumi ndi amayi ndi amuna a msinkhu wokalamba. Choopsa kwambiri pa thanzi ndi kudzipangira komanso kudya mahomoni ambiri.
Masiku ano, mankhwala amalingalira zinthu zitatu zofunika: kuchepetsa thupi, kusokonezeka kwa thupi, mantha ochira, kupeza kulemera kwakukulu. Matendawa amayamba nthawi zingapo. Pachiyambi choyamba, kusakhutira ndi maonekedwe ndiko kukula. Kenaka nthenda ya anorectic ndi yoonekeratu, pamene pali kulemera kwa makumi awiri mpaka makumi atatu peresenti. Pachifukwa ichi, amayesetsa kutsimikizira aliyense amene ali pafupi naye kuti alibe chilakolako.
Wodwala sakudziwa bwinobwino kulemera kwake. Ndipo mfundo yonse ndi yakuti mphamvu ya madzi m'thupi la wodwalayo imachepa nthawi zonse, ndipo izi zimabweretsa hypotension ndi bradycardia. Matendawa amathandizidwanso ndi khungu louma. Chizindikiro china chakumapeto ndi kutha kwa kusamba kwa akazi, ndipo mwa amuna chilakolako cha kugonana ndi spermatogenesis chicheperachepera. Palinso kuphwanya kwa gland adrenal. Gawo laposachedwapa ndi cachexic. Panthawi imeneyi, kulemera kwafupika ndi makumi asanu peresenti. Chifukwa chake, edema imayamba, kuchuluka kwa potaziyamu m'thupi kumachepa kwambiri. Koma kusokonezeka kwa electrolyte panthawi imeneyi kungathe ngakhale kumwalira. Malingana ndi ziŵerengero, odwala omwe ali ndi anorexia nervosa omwe sali odwala ndi khumi. Njira yothandizira ndi yaumwini komanso ya matenda a maganizo a m'banja, ndipo nthawi yayitali kwambiri, wodwalayo ali m'chipatala, mankhwala opatsirana ndi kudyetsedwa molimbika.
2. Ndi matenda a matenda odwala matenda a maganizo, pamakhala kukanidwa kwa chakudya m'madera ovutika maganizo.
3. Anorexia (chizindikiro) ndi mawu akuti "anorexia", omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pofotokozera kuchepa ndi kusowa kwa njala. Ichi ndi chizindikiro chofala kwambiri. Chizindikiro ichi sichitha kupezeka m'maganizo, komanso m'matenda ena ambiri.
