Bệnh phổi tắc nghẽn mãn tính (COPD) có nguy hiểm không và cách điều trị

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that causes airflow from the lungs to be blocked. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, coughing, mucus production (phlegm), and wheezing. COPD is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particles, usually from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of heart disease, lung cancer, and a range of other conditions. COPD usually takes a long time to develop, and can be diagnosed with imaging tests, blood tests, and lung function tests. The main symptoms of COPD are: Increased shortness of breath, especially when the person is active, a persistent dry cough with phlegm, frequent chest infections, and persistent wheezing. So can COPD be cured? While COPD is considered a serious condition because there is no cure, a diagnosis of COPD is not the end of the world. Most people have mild forms of COPD that require little treatment other than quitting smoking. Even in more advanced stages of the disease, effective therapies are available to control symptoms, reduce the risk of serious complications, and improve quality of life. The most important thing in treating COPD is to stop smoking. It is the only way to keep COPD from getting worse. Doctors will base their decisions on whether to treat it medically, oxygen therapy, or surgery based on the severity of the patient's condition. Unlike some diseases, COPD has a clear cause and is completely preventable. The majority of cases are directly related to smoking, and the best way to prevent COPD is to never smoke - or to stop smoking now.
