Can mild emphysema be cured?

Because emphysema can cause breathing difficulties, many people believe that the disease is unlikely to be cured. Indeed, emphysema is not a minor illness like a cold, and it can cause many harms. However, with the development of medical technology, this is not a difficult disease to cure, and the cure rate is not low, especially for patients with mild emphysema, the probability of cure is higher.

Generally speaking, if you understand the relevant knowledge about emphysema and discover the symptoms in time, you may receive treatment in the early stages of emphysema, which is mild emphysema and is easier to treat. Can mild emphysema be cured? Let’s learn about the treatment of emphysema.

Surgical treatment: The purpose of spending money on medical treatment is to cure the disease and prevent it from recurring, and it will not cause other negative effects on the body. Therefore, surgical treatment is unreliable. Many people go to the hospital for examination and find that they have emphysema. They start to give you some anti-inflammatory drugs, and then after repeated attacks, when you go for treatment, the doctor recommends removing the lesions. Traditional surgery to remove the diseased tissue has great limitations for the treatment of bilateral lung lobe lesions. For those with extensive lesions that cannot be completely removed, surgical resection is not suitable due to large amounts of repeated hemoptysis.

Drug treatment: There are many treatments for asthma at present. Many elderly patients will use hormone drugs for treatment in the early stages. In fact, hormone drugs can play a very good role in the acute attack period of asthma, but they are not suitable for frequent use. For the already weak body, the harm will be more obvious. It may cause puffiness and reduce resistance. Commonly used hormones can weaken the body's defense capabilities, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, inducing new infections or causing the spread and expansion of potential lesions in the body. Those who use them for a long time to treat chronic diseases are prone to complications of infection. It causes mental reactions. Long-term use of hormones can cause insomnia, agitation, emotional instability, and lack of concentration. If used in large quantities, convulsions may occur.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history in my country, and it has been proven that it does have a good effect in the treatment of emphysema. However, early traditional Chinese medicine treatments have not been able to completely control emphysema. Moreover, due to technical limitations, early traditional Chinese medicine treatments were unable to achieve fundamental breakthroughs.

It should be noted here that each treatment method has a certain effect on the treatment of emphysema, but the best treatment method is still targeted at the cause. Therefore, after discovering symptoms, patients need to go to the hospital in time to check and confirm the cause of the disease, and then receive treatment. In addition, during the treatment process, patients and their families should pay attention to rehabilitation care, so that they can recover faster.
