Lung Diseases And Their Treatment At Medanta Medicity Gurgaon

We rarely notice a nagging cough or slight wheeze in the course of our busy days. But, as most doctors say, it's essential to pay attention to even mild symptoms. Because these mild symptoms could be the sign of something serious.

Many think that having trouble breathing is something that has to do with aging. It is crucial to pay attention to these symptoms. Because they could be the first signs of lung disease, such as COPD, asthma and lung cancer. Knowing the early signs of lung disease can help the patient receive treatment before the disease becomes serious or even life-threatening. If you experience any of the following signs, make an appointment with your doctor without any delay. Early detection could save your life.

Labored breathing.

 It's not normal to experience shortness of breath that you have after little or no exertion. Labored or difficulty breathing is a warning sign. One should not ignore labored breathing during normal activities. If you’ve developed a chronic cough or have shortness of breath, your doctor may test for COPD which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is the third leading cause of death in the west. And while millions of people have been diagnosed, many more people have no idea they have it.

Wheezing

 Noisy breathing is a sign that something unusual is blocking the lungs' airways or making them too narrow. Doctors always tell patients that if they feel like they can’t take a deep breath, then they need to see their doctor. The doctor will want to rule out possible diseases like COPD or even anemia. Another potential cause of wheezing is adult-onset asthma. It is more severe than asthma that develops in childhood. In fact, ten percent of adults over sixty-five may have it. It may be triggered by diseases like chronic sinusitis.

Blood in your cough

This is the most alarming symptoms of lung disease. The blood may be bright red or browner and might be mixed with mucus. While this symptom can be a sign of lung cancer, it doesn’t mean you have it. Many other things can cause a person to cough up blood, from the benign to chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Regardless, this is not something you to ignore or brush aside.

Unexpected weight loss

Normally, people get happy when the number on the scale slides down, but when it's unintentional, it could be a sign of something dangerous. Between forty and seventy percent of people with COPD experience unexpected weight loss. Those dropped pounds are nothing but a sign that your body isn’t working efficiently. It means that the body is continually consuming calories just to do basic functions like breathing. The muscles of people with COPD need to work harder to keep up with the body’s demands. They burn about ten times more calories to breathe than people without lung disease. Weight loss alone doesn't mean lung problems. But if it’s paired with other symptoms of lung disease, you should visit your doctor immediately.

Chronic cough

 A cough that a person has for a month or longer is considered chronic. This is an important early symptom. Because it tells the patient that something is wrong with his or her respiratory system. Chronic cough is also an outcome of chronic mucus production. Mucus is also called sputum or phlegm. It is produced by the airways as a defense against infections or irritants. If the mucus production has lasted a month or longer, it could indicate lung disease.

Exhaustion

When a person is tired, a good night’s sleep can rejuvenate him. But when someone is fatigued, all the sleep in the world won’t bring his energy back. It can be a symptom of several diseases, including cancer. For lung cancer patients, in particular, the fatigue can stem from the fact that decreased lung function takes a toll on the body

Chronic chest pain

Unexplained chest pain that lasts for a month or more is a sign of several underlying diseases like lung cancer or COPD. Especially if it gets worse when the person breathes in or coughs.

It is very important to consult an experienced pulmonologist or a a respiratory specialist who can examine you and understand your symptoms.

Dr. Anand Jaiswal at Medicity Hospital Gurgaon is one noted pulmonologist and is widely consulted by patients all across India for their respiratory issues like asthma, tuberculosis, bronchitis and other pulmonary diseases.

Dr. Anand Jaiswal is the Director of the Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Division at Medanta Medicity Gurgaon.

Decreasing fertility rate and IVF

Rashmi and Vedant got married at the age of twenty-four and twenty-five respectively. One year after their marriage, the couple decided to conceive a baby. Their attempt failed multiple times. Soon, they were bombarded with tips and tricks and hacks. The couple tried each and every hack, but all of them proved to be fruitless. They toyed with the idea of visiting a doctor, but shame held them back. Time flew by, and they were now in their thirties. They had lost all hopes. But was it too late for them? And are they alone?

 We are in an era where the environment is destroying our systems both for men and women. There are certain toxins which we are investing in our system and are only partly excreting. So they partly remain in our system. These are substances like DDT, phthalates, bisphenol, Organophosphorus compounds which are present in things like plastic bottles that we use. What we are witnessing a trend of a fall of the sperm counts and are also seeing a loss of the ovarian reserve which means women at a younger age are hitting menopause. This has made IVF a need of an hour.

 In India, when you talk about IVF, Dr. Firuza's name is one that always comes up. In the course of time, Dr. Firuza Parikh has become the final hope for a majority of couples who are battling infertility. Thanks to her extreme skills in  In vitro fertilization (IVF), over seven thousands couples have been blessed with children.

 Being trained at the Yale School of Medicine in Reproductive Medicine for four years in the mid-1980s, she returned to India to set up and head the first IVF center in Jaslok Hospital in 1989.

 In fact, medical tourism in India started with a large number of foreign patients coming in to see Dr. Firuza Parikh in the early 1990s.

 So what is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization is assisted reproductive technology in which the egg and sperm are combined in a lab with an aim to create a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg is incubated, and it grows into an embryo. Three to Five days after fertilization, a selected embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus with a hope that it would implant itself in the lining and develop into a fetus that will become a healthy infant.

 Thanks to the potential health risks associated with multiple births, most fertility experts accept the fact that only one embryo should be transferred at a given time. The remaining embryos can be frozen and can be used in the future. Due to improved Vitrification technology, success rates are equal for fresh and frozen embryos in women under the age of 35.

 The cycles that use frozen embryos are usually less expensive and less invasive than cycles using fresh embryos. IVF children are as healthy and normal as children that are conceived naturally. The introduction of IVF does not present a significant increase in chromosome-related abnormalities.

How is IVF done?

The eggs are recovered from the follicles, and in the laboratory, the eggs come in contact with the sperm inside special dishes with culture medium to facilitate fertilization. The fertilized eggs, or zygotes, are placed inside an incubator and are cultured under special conditions for two to six days so that the embryos can achieve their first stages of development. Instead of reaching the uterus naturally through the fallopian tube, the embryos are transferred to the uterus using a thin catheter into which the embryos have been previously loaded by the embryologist. The embryos then implant in the endometrium by themselves just like in natural conception and if implantation occurs, then pregnancy will follow.

 The initial IVF cycle includes the following steps:

The cycle starts when the intended egg donor or mother receives hormone therapy to stimulate the production of multiple eggs. The eggs are retrieved from the ovary and sperm is provided by the intended father or a donor. The sperm and eggs are combined in the lab for fertilization and embryos are created and are incubated to grow. The most viable embryo is chosen for implantation, and after 3-5 days of fertilization, the selected embryo is shifted to the uterus of the intended gestational carrier or mother and the remaining embryos are frozen for use in the future.

 If the first cycle does not result in pregnancy, then subsequent IVF cycles that involve the transfer of a frozen embryo are performed.

 When to choose IVF?

You may choose IVF for a number of reasons, including if you or your partner has:

l  Low sperm count

l  Problems with ovulation

l  Problems with the fallopian tubes

l  If either of the couples has been sterilized

l  Endometriosis

l  Want to avoid passing on inherited genetic disorders to your children.

 What are the risks specific to IVF?

l  Multiple births: Multiple births where the mother delivers two or more offspring.

l  Premature delivery and low birth weight: Babies born at less than thirty-seven weeks' gestation are considered premature.

l  Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: It affects women taking injectable hormone pills to stimulate the development of eggs in the ovaries.

l  Miscarriage: A miscarriage is the loss of your baby before twenty weeks of pregnancy. The loss of a baby after twenty weeks is called a stillbirth. Up to one in five confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage before twenty weeks, but many other women miscarry without having realized they are pregnant.

l  Egg-retrieval procedure complications.

l  Ectopic pregnancy: It is a complication of pregnancy where the embryo attaches outside the uterus. Signs and symptoms are abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Fewer than fifty percent of affected women have both of these symptoms.

l  Stress: It is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes one feel frustrated, angry, or nervous.
