Advantages of TCM in treating emphysema

Although traditional Chinese medicine has certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of emphysema, traditional Chinese medicine has no advantage in treating emphysema. For patients with emphysema, western medicine is still advocated at this stage. Patients with emphysema should first do pulmonary function, evaluate the patient's pulmonary function, and if the patient's pulmonary function indicates obstructive ventilation dysfunction, the patient can often be diagnosed as COPD. For COPD patients, standard inhaled drugs are normally required, and long-acting bronchodilators such as tiotropium bromide are normally required. In addition, lung volume reduction surgery can even be used for advanced emphysema patients, which is also helpful to improve the symptoms of chest distress. The above programs are for reference only, and specific drugs should be used under the guidance of professional doctors.
