Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) has a major global health risk that affects millions of people around the world. But, with the right information and assistance We believe that the disease and its effects are less threatening. The conventional treatments used for COPD help to alleviate symptoms. However, the advent in stem cells has offered an exciting approach to dealing with the primary reasons for COPD and thereby improving the patient's quality of living.

We are at Plexus Bangalore, we provide customized stem cell therapy for COPD.

Understanding COPD

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

The symptoms of COPD

Breathlessness

Chronic cough

Heezing

Fatigue

Chest tightness

Cyanosis (blue coloration of lips or fingernails)

Infections of the respiratory tract that are frequent

The causes of COPD

Family heritage

Smoking

Workplace exposure to dust, pollutants, chemicals, etc.

Air pollution

Infections of the respiratory tract

Deficiency of the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (a rare genetic disorder which can cause COPD people who smoke and suffer from an underlying condition have a higher risk)

Stem Cell Therapy for COPD

at Plexus Bangalore an, the road to breathing freely begins with an in-depth examination of the patient's overall health, which includes the tests for lung function, as well as imaging and a determination of COPD severity. We make use of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) due to their ability to reduce inflammation, aid in tissue repair, and aid in the regrowth from damaged tissues.

Stem cells have promise for COPD due to their ability to:

Renew Lung Tissue Stem cells transform into different types of cells and assist in the regeneration and repair of lung tissues damaged.

Reducing Inflammation Stem cells to regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation. This can help slow the process of disease progression.

stimulates blood vessel formation Stem cells help in the formation the formation of new blood vessels thereby improving oxygen flow and blood flow to the lung. This can improve lung function in a significant way.

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

Post-Procedural care and potential benefits

Following stem cell transplantation Patients undergo carefully monitored to assess the response to treatment, measure improvement of lung functions, as well as to address possible side consequences.

The potential benefits of stem cells therapy differ depending on a case-by-case basis. However, improvements in lung function, lessening symptoms, and the improvement of quality of life is among the top well-known and desired advantages of stem therapy with cells in COPD.

Stem Cell Therapy for COPD in Bangalore

With a clinical history of more than thirty years Plexus was the first Indian stem cell research center that has been certified ISO. Plexus Bangalore is at the forefront of offering advanced stem cell therapy to COPD patients.

FAQsWhat exactly is COPD due to?

COPD is mostly resulted from long-term exposure to irritant substances (ammonia, chlorine sulfur dioxide )that can result in an injury to the airway or particles, typically due to smoke from cigarettes. Other factors that trigger COPD include exposure to occupational pollutants, genetic causes, and respiratory infections, particularly during the early years of childhood.

What can I do to strengthen my lungs if I suffer from COPD?

If you're a smoke-smoker, the first step to strengthen your lungs is to stop smoking! Exercises to strengthen your lungs, such as diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lips breath, as well as aerobic exercise can help improve lung function. Regular exercise, keeping 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?

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

Are COPD an illness that is serious?

It is true that COPD can be a very serious lung condition that is progressive. It can result in serious impairments to lung function, diminished quality of life, as well as higher death rates.

Which level of COPD is the most harmful?

The degree of COPD is usually divided as the stages (I up to IV) according to lung function. Stage IV, also known as severe COPD is thought to be severe and advanced, and has significant reductions in airflow. The symptoms are more severe and everyday routines become more difficult.

Can COPD be treated?

The development of COPD is a possibility to slow down the progression of COPD, and symptoms controlled through proper treatment.
