Allergic asthma is a chronic airway inflammation caused by various allergens, accompanied by increased airway responsiveness and reversible obstruction. This condition is more common in children and young adults, with global prevalence rising year by year. Treatments include medication and immune regulation. Neglecting treatment often leads to frequent attacks and lung function damage, seriously affecting life.
Europe and the United States
The prevalence of allergic asthma is relatively high, accounting for about 60%–70% of asthma patients in both children and adults. Environmental and genetic factors interact, while urban pollution and lifestyle changes increase the disease burden.
Southeast Asia
In some Southeast Asian countries, declining air quality and abundant allergens have led to a gradual rise in asthma prevalence. Rapid urbanization has exacerbated childhood asthma incidence, while uneven distribution of treatment resources remains a prominent issue.
1. Recurrent Airway Inflammation
Allergic asthma causes long-term airway inflammation, leading to airway remodeling and functional decline, impairing respiratory efficiency.
2. Impaired Respiratory Function
Persistent airway obstruction causes wheezing and shortness of breath, which in severe cases can be life-threatening.
3. Reduced Quality of Life
Frequent attacks affect sleep and daily activities, resulting in psychological stress and social dysfunction.
4. Risk of Complications
Uncontrolled asthma increases the risk of lung infections and chronic respiratory diseases.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy can repair damaged airway tissue, regulate immune responses, alleviate inflammation, and reduce attack frequency.
① Promotes airway tissue repair
② Regulates immune system balance
③ Reduces allergic reaction severity
④ Relieves airway hyperresponsiveness
⑤ Improves lung function indicators
1. Inhaled Corticosteroids
As the cornerstone control medication, they significantly reduce airway inflammation, prevent asthma attacks, and are safe and effective for long-term use.
2. Bronchodilators
They relieve acute bronchoconstriction, improve breathing difficulties, and are often used in combination with steroids.
3. Immunotherapy
Desensitization therapy reduces reactions to specific allergens and is suitable for patients with allergic constitutions.
4. Leukotriene Antagonists
They block inflammatory mediators, help control symptoms, and improve lung function.
5. Environmental Management
Avoiding allergen exposure and maintaining clean indoor air are key to preventing asthma attacks.
6. Nutritional Support and Psychological Adjustment
A balanced diet and emotional management help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms.
Allergic asthma severely affects patients' lives, requiring attention to early diagnosis and systematic treatment. Experts at United Life International Medical Center emphasize that comprehensive treatment, especially the application of stem cell therapy, will bring new hope to patients, significantly improving conditions and quality of life.
