The nature of bronchial asthma is complex and can include both special temporary conditions of the body in this disease, and special forms of asthma itself.
Asthma and pregnancy
The period of pregnancy can be a very dangerous and difficult time for a woman, because it becomes more difficult to monitor the course of bronchial asthma and its attacks.
Poor control combined with fetal hypoxia pose a significant threat. That is why increased attention should be paid to the full training and counseling of the future mother in childbirth. Conducting basic therapy should be performed with caution, but the measures for the prevention of asthmatic attacks are most often similar to those generally accepted.
Breastfeeding, as a rule, is not a contraindication for taking anti-asthma drugs. But this fact should be monitored. Your pulmonologist must know about pregnancy.
Surgery and bronchial asthma
If asthma is predicted by any surgical intervention , then a mandatory preoperative procedure is a functional examination of the lungs. It is better to do this as soon as possible, since it may be necessary to treat with oral glucocorticosteroids. You also need to remember that many anesthetics can cause allergies.
Special forms of bronchial asthma
There are several non-standard types of bronchial asthma, we can distinguish:
- Aspirin. In this case, the onset of an attack occurs after taking aspirin or other aspirin-containing drugs. Pathology manifests itself with lingering rhinitis, then sinusitis develops, which later passes into bronchial asthma. Usually this form of the disease persists until the end of life. Such patients are contraindicated all aspirin-containing products. The main treatment for this type of bronchial asthma involves glucocorticosteroids. Also, the advice of a doctor can be directed to taking antileukotriene drugs;
- Professional. Such a problem develops as a result of the action of allergens in a production environment. Out of work conditions, symptoms of bronchial asthma usually do not bother a person, although in severe cases there are exceptions. The main condition for an effective cure in this situation is a complete elimination of the allergen factor (usually a job change).
Bronchial asthma is a dangerous disease and each case of the disease is individual in nature. Do not let the problem drift. A timely visit to a specialist can help reduce the number of seizures.
