In India, asthma is affecting approximately 15 to 20 percent of the population or about 30 million people. In the coming years, the level of increasing pollution can increase this number in hundreds of millions.
Asthma (asthma) is due to swelling in the airways of the lungs, which often leads to wheezing and breathlessness. The most prominent cause of asthma is also the history of asthma in the family. However, air pollution, household allergies such as bedding, stuffed furniture, tobacco smoke, and chemical substances are among the major factors of asthma. There are also many types of asthma due to various reasons such as Adult Onset Asthma, Allergic Occupational Asthma, Exercise Asthma, and Severe Asthma, etc. Old asthma is usually treated by continuous medicines.
But more advanced therapies are needed to control severe symptoms. People with severe asthma are approximately 8-10 percent of the total population of people with asthma. Of the 20 most polluted cities in the world, 13 are in India. Air pollution in India has given rise to the health crisis. In this case, asthma in India is affecting approximately 15 to 20 percent of the population or about 30 million people. In the coming years, the level of increasing pollution can increase this number in hundreds of millions.
Dr. Deepak Talwar, senior adviser and chairman of the Meta Respiratory Center, Noida, says, "Those who wheezing or coughing for 1-2 months by taking inhalers, they fall under the category of severe asthma. Those who take oral steroids more than twice a year to control asthma they also fall into the severe category of asthma and it required to everyday medicine to have long been able to control underlying inflammation.
"He said that if standard treatment fails to control the symptoms of the patient for approximately 3 to 6 months, then it is considered a serious asthma case, they require medical intervention such as a bronchial thermoplastic. Accordingly, the good news is that innovations in health services have made it easier for those patients to treat severe asthma symptoms, which are long Have come to rely on drugs.
A pioneer in this field, Bronchial Thermoplasty has emerged as one of the most trusted choices for severe asthma sufferers, who suffer from asthma symptoms despite maximum medical treatment. He said that with normal breathing, lung airways are completely open.
People with severe asthma have excessive smooth muscles of the airways orbiting their airways. With the swelling of the airways, this extra muscle joins the airways to thicken the walls. During the asthma attack, the smooth muscle of the airway shrinks, thereby causing difficulty breathing.
Dr. Talwar says that during bronchial thermoplastic, a small flexible tube is placed in the airway through a standard flexible bronchoscope placed through the mouth or nose. Treatment reduces smoother muscle mass in the air by providing thermal energy to the walls of the airways. This is done in three bronchoscopy.
He said that this therapy is helpful in bringing the muscles to normal size up to 80 percent. The decrease in the size of the muscles has an inherent effect on those patients who are dependent on the medication because it becomes more effective and the airway opens up a bit more.
This reduces the narrowing of the wall during an asthma attack. Over the past several years, bronchial thermoplastic has helped severe asthmatics to treat their condition better, thereby greatly improving the quality of their lives. Dr. Talwar says that all the treatment of asthma has been revealed, but health care providers rarely use them or know about them.
