Asthma Treatment

We Take Your Asthma Under Control, We Are With You for Healthy Breathing!
Asthma is a chronic disease that makes breathing difficult due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. As the Department of Lung and Chest Diseases, we offer a customized approach to asthma treatment for individual needs. Our goal is to reduce asthma symptoms, prevent attacks and improve the quality of life of patients.

What is Asthma?
Asthma is a disease that causes breathing difficulties due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This can increase mucus production in the airways and restrict the passage of air. Symptoms of asthma include:
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness
- Cough
Asthma attacks can cause these symptoms to become severe and reduce quality of life. Asthma can develop as a result of a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.

How is Asthma Treated?
Asthma treatment is planned in a personalized way depending on the patient's condition and the severity of asthma. The aim of treatment is to control symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. The treatment process proceeds as follows:

1. Drug Therapy:
- Airway opening drugs (Bronchodilators): These are drugs used during an asthma attack. These drugs widen the airways, making breathing easier.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (Corticosteroids): Provide long-term control by reducing inflammation in the airways. Usually used as an inhaler. - Combination treatments: Medications that combine bronchodilators and corticosteroids offer both treatment effects together.

2. Control Device (Peak Flow Meter):
It is a portable device used for asthma patients to monitor their respiratory functions. The peak flow meter measures air flow to monitor whether asthma is under control.

3. Allergy Tests:
Allergy tests can be performed to determine whether asthma is caused by allergies. If an allergic factor is found, the patient is encouraged to avoid allergens.

4. Lifestyle Changes:
Environmental factors are important in the management of asthma. Avoiding cigarette smoke, pollen, air pollution and other triggers relieves asthma symptoms. Regular exercise also plays an important role in asthma control.

5. Education and Information:
Asthmatic patients are educated on how to use their medications correctly and what to do in the event of an asthma attack. Correct use and early intervention in asthma treatment increase the success of the treatment.
