Breathe Free Even When You Have COPD

 Stem Cell Therapie Could Aid

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) has a major global health problem and affects millions across the globe. But, with the right knowledge and support we believe that the condition and its consequences become less threatening. The conventional treatments used for COPD aid in reducing symptoms. However, the advent in stem cells has offered an exciting approach to dealing with the primary factors that cause COPD and significantly improving the patient's quality of living.

We are at Plexus Bangalore, we provide customized stem cell therapy programs to treat COPD.

Understanding COPD

COPD is defined by the continuous obstruction of airflow with respiratory signs. The most frequent symptoms are chronic bronchitis as well as Emphysema. In India the incidence of COPD ranges between 0.1 percent to 0.9 percent for people aged between 5 and 29 and 1.6 percent to 28.3 percent for those over 30 years old. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka and Kerala have seen the highest amount of COPD cases as per the latest Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.

Signs and symptoms of COPD

Breathlessness

Chronic cough

Sneezing

Fatigue

Chest tightness

Cyanosis (blue coloration of lips or fingernails)

Infections of the respiratory tract that are frequent

What causes COPD

Family heritage

Smoking

Workplace exposure to dust, pollutants, chemicals, etc.

Air pollution

Infections in the respiratory tract

Deficiency of the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (a rare genetic disorder that could lead to COPD smokers and suffer from an underlying condition have a higher risk)

Stem Cell Therapy for COPD

In Plexus Bangalore our path to breathing normally starts with a thorough examination of the patient's overall health, which includes testing for lung function and imaging and a determination of COPD severity. We employ mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) due to their ability to reduce inflammation, aid in tissue repair, and aid in the regrowth injured cells.

Stem cells are a promising option for COPD due to their ability to:

Revitalize Lung Tissue Stem cells transform into different cell types which aid in the regeneration and repair in damaged tissue.

Reducing Inflammation Stem cells to regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation. This aids in slowing the process of disease progression.

Stimulate the formation of blood vessels Stem cells stimulate the development the formation of new blood vessels thereby improving the flow of blood and oxygen to the lung. This improves the function of the lungs significantly.

Releasing Growth Factors Stem cells produce growth factors that aid in healing and repair of tissue.

Post-Procedural Care and Benefits

Following stem cell transplantation Patients undergo meticulous monitoring to determine the effectiveness of treatment, evaluate improvements of lung functions, as well as identify possible side negative effects.

The potential benefits of stem cells therapy are determined depending on a case-by-case basis. However, improvements in lung function, lessening symptoms, and improved quality of life is among the top commonly reported and desired advantages of stem therapy using cells to treat COPD.

FAQs

What exactly is COPD due to?

COPD is mostly caused by exposure to irritant gasses (ammonia, chlorine and sulfur dioxide )that may cause an injury to the lungs or particles, typically due to smoking cigarettes. Other factors that trigger COPD include exposure to occupational pollution, genetic factors and respiratory illnesses, especially in the early years of childhood.

What can I do to strengthen my lungs when I have COPD?

If you're a smoker the first step to strengthen your lungs is to stop smoking! Exercises to strengthen your lungs, such as diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lips breathing and other aerobic exercise can help improve lung function. Regular exercise, being active in a healthy way, maintaining a balanced lifestyle and even pursuing lung rehabilitation programs can help improve the health of your lungs in COPD.

What does a person suffering from COPD feel?

People suffering from COPD frequently experience symptoms like breathlessness, chronic cough wheezing and fatigue.

Are COPD an illness that is serious?

Absolutely, COPD can cause serious, progressive lung diseases. It can result in serious impairments to lung function, a decrease in quality of life, as well as an increase in death rates.

Which level of COPD is considered to be the worst?

The degree of COPD is usually divided as different stages (I up to IV) according to lung function. Stage IV, which is the most severe form of COPD, is regarded as critical and advanced, resulting in the airflow significantly diminished. The symptoms are more severe and everyday activities become difficult.

Can COPD be treated?

The progress of COPD can be stopped and the symptoms can be controlled with appropriate treatment.
