Pulmonology
At aastha multispeciality hospital, we provide comprehensive care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common lung condition that makes breathing difficult.
What is COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease.
It is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is caused by long-term exposure to irritating particles or gases, most commonly from tobacco smoke.
Symptoms of COPD
Shortness of breath, a chronic cough and wheezing.
Frequent respiratory infections.
Producing a lot of Mucus.
People with COPD may also have difficulty performing physical activities due to decreased lung function.
Tightness in the chest
Types of COPD
Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a chronic cough and excessive mucus production.
Emphysema is marked by the destruction of the air sacs in the lungs, leading to poor airflow.
Risk factors for COPD
The primary risk factor for COPD is smoking, including both active and passive smoking.
Long-term exposure to air pollutants, such as dust and chemicals.
Genetic factors, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, can increase the risk of developing COPD.
History of respiratory infections as a child.
Diagnosis of COPD
A combination of medical history, physical examination and lung function tests.
Spirometry is the most common lung function test.
Chest X-rays and CT scans may be performed to assess the severity and extent of lung damage.
Treatment options of COPD
Smoking cessation is the most crucial step in managing COPD and slowing its progression.
Medications, such as bronchodilators and corticosteroids, can help relieve symptoms and reduce inflammation.
Pulmonary rehabilitation programs, including exercise and education, can improve lung function and quality of life.
