Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Treat Bullae?

Bullae is the name in Western medicine. Most people may not know what kind of disease bullae is. In fact, bullae are caused by air accumulation in the lungs, which requires timely exhaust. If exhaust is not done in time, it may cause lung expansion and damage to the lung interstitium. Therefore, we should pay attention to the disease of pulmonary bullae. So, can traditional Chinese medicine treat pulmonary bullae?

1. Traditional Chinese medicine remedies for treating bullae

1.1. Ginkgo and pork ribs soup. Take 30g of ginkgo nuts, remove the shell and red skin. Wash 500g of spare ribs, add appropriate amount of ginger slices, water, and rice wine, and simmer for 90 minutes on low heat. Add ginkgo nuts to the soup, season with salt, and cook for 15 minutes.

1.2. Elaeagnus elaeagnus leaf powder. Take an appropriate amount of Elaeagnus leaves, dry them and grind them into fine powder. Mix with sugar water and take about 5 fen to 1 qian each time, twice a day.

2. The difference between bullae and emphysema

Bullae are actually caused by the pathological cause of emphysema. The cause of emphysema is that the terminal alveoli in the lungs are constantly stimulated by the outside world. Bullae are also caused by respiratory tract infections. Therefore, there is not much difference between the two.

Emphysema is caused by external conditions such as smoking, infection and air pollution, which cause bronchiolar inflammation, stenosis or obstruction of the lumen. When inhaling, the lumen of the bronchioles expands and air enters the alveoli; when exhaling, the lumen shrinks, causing the alveoli to over-expand or even rupture.

3. Can people with bullae have sex?

Patients with pulmonary bullae often have concurrent chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, and emphysema. Secondary infection of pulmonary bullae can cause symptoms such as cough, sputum, chills and fever. For example, sexual life depends on the severity of the disease. Decreased lung function and good breathing will not affect sexual life.

Although there are no special dietary requirements for patients with pulmonary bullae, they should increase nutrition, eat more high-quality protein, eat more foods rich in vitamins, eat less irritating foods and beverages, avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid infection.
