summary

If we breathe, we all need to rely on our trachea. If there is a certain problem in this respect, then our breathing will be affected to a certain extent, which is a big problem for our health. There are many diseases related to respiratory tract, and bronchiectasis is one of them. Now let's popularize the science of bronchiectasis.

What is bronchiectasis

First, bronchiectasis is due to chronic suppurative inflammation and fibrosis of the bronchus and its surrounding lung tissue, resulting in the destruction of the muscle and elastic tissue of the bronchial wall, resulting in the deformation and persistent expansion of the bronchus. Typical symptoms are chronic cough, cough a lot of purulent sputum and repeated hemoptysis. Congenital factors also affect the disease.

Second, the course of bronchiectasis is usually chronic and can occur at any age. Childhood history of measles, pertussis or pneumonia after influenza, or history of pulmonary tuberculosis, endobronchial tuberculosis, pulmonary fibrosis, etc. The typical symptoms are chronic cough, cough a lot of purulent sputum and repeated hemoptysis. It's a terrible disease.

Third: patients feel relaxed when expectoration is unobstructed; if sputum drainage is not unobstructed, they feel chest tightness, and the systemic symptoms are also significantly aggravated. Most of the sputum is yellow green pus like, which can stink when combined with anaerobic bacteria infection. The sputum collected all day is placed in a glass bottle. After a few hours, it can be divided into three layers with different colors.
