Which types of chronic diseases are the pathogens of emphysema?

The explanation that emphysema is caused by mucus blockage and carbon dioxide retention is difficult for ordinary people to understand and to act on for active prevention. In fact, it should start from the diseases that easily cause cor pulmonale, so that after understanding, people actively treat these pathogens of cor pulmonale and stop emphysema from forming. The main pathogens are chronic bronchitis, silicosis, and bronchial asthma.

Emphysema

Chronic bronchitis, especially chronic bronchitis in the elderly, is a long-standing and difficult problem that urgently needs to be addressed, and these patients are often people with decades of cigarette addiction who find it hard to quit smoking. Therefore, cigarette smoke, particulate matter, and toxic gases accumulate more and more in the patients' lungs, gradually filling the bronchi and trachea, affecting airflow exchange and continuously retaining carbon dioxide and other waste gases in the body. They are also prone to infection and inflammation, mucosal hyperemia, edema, and so on, which further causes the lumen to become narrower and narrower, the airway wall to become thicker and thicker, and even to become completely blocked.

The bronchial mucosa also secretes mucus during inflammation to repair itself, which sticks to the cilia of the mucosal epithelium, causing them to adhere or lie flat, making it difficult to ferry the mucus out. In this way, the mucus accumulates as sputum, and gases such as carbon dioxide are retained, leading to barrel chest and emphysema.

Emphysema and quitting smoking

During the occurrence and development of these diseases, lung function is damaged, resistance is reduced, and they easily form a mutually causal relationship, that is, after the lungs are damaged, resistance is weak, which easily leads to recurrence or attacks of chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Therefore, active treatment and daily conditioning and care are very necessary. Persisting in this can improve lung function, enhance disease resistance, and prevent and treat the pathogens of emphysema.
