1.Is asthma a hereditary disease?
2. Can asthmatics have children?
3.Is the life expectancy of asthma patients shorter than that of ordinary people?
It is a consensus that asthma is difficult to be cured, but the majority of asthma patients (especially those who are detected and treated early) can effectively control their disease and significantly improve their quality of life by adhering to long-term standardized treatment …..
I. Is asthma a hereditary disease?
No. Asthma is not a disease that a child must have if his or her parents have it. The exact pathogenesis of asthma is not very clear, but it is generally understood that the onset is more or less related to genetic factors, but it is not a hereditary disease, why? Because when parents have asthma, the probability of their children getting asthma is indeed greater than normal, but not absolute, and most asthmatic parents inherit allergies to their children (such as parents with asthma, children with allergic rhinitis, skin diseases, etc.), rather than asthma, many children of asthmatics, like normal people, do not have asthma, and no allergic diseases.
Second, can asthmatics have children?
Of course, asthma patients with well-controlled disease can live and do the same activities as ordinary people, so patients should adhere to long-term standardized treatment, as long as the disease is well-controlled, there is no problem to accompany children to play basketball or soccer.
Is the life expectancy of asthma patients shorter than that of ordinary people?
Not really, well-controlled asthma patients can live the same as ordinary people, or at least there is no significant difference. Moreover, asthma is a chronic disease, and in the process of long-term standardized treatment, patients may have developed many good habits in the process of long-term standardized treatment, such as not smoking and not drinking, and living a healthy life, which reduces the incidence of hypertension and coronary heart disease. Of course, if asthma is not well controlled, it may indeed lead to reduced quality of life and sudden death (the probability is small). Most patients can effectively control their asthma and significantly improve their quality of life by adhering to long-term standardized treatment.
