Bronchiectasis is a chronic disease. Patients usually have cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, dyspnea and chest pain.

The course of this disease is mostly chronic and can occur at any age.

Any bleeding below the throat and all parts of the respiratory tract that is coughed up through the mouth is called hemoptysis. In severe cases, blood is sprayed from the nose and mouth. The main danger is that blood clots block the airway, causing suffocation, or hemorrhagic shock. This is a critical disease, which must be stopped and rescued in time.

This disease is more common in bronchiectasis and tuberculosis, followed by lung abscess, lung cancer, lung depression and blood diseases, which can be treated according to this disease in clinic.

The disease starts from the lung, so the disease is located in the lung, mostly due to exogenous factors, dryness and heat in the lung, or excessive lung heat, or insufficient kidney yin due to yin deficiency, resulting in excessive fire, thus damaging lung collaterals, forcing blood to rush to ren, leading to hemoptysis; There is also internal resistance of blood stasis, which inhibits lung collaterals and causes blood to overflow collaterals and become hemoptysis.

Modern medicine believes that bronchiectasis refers to a disease in which chronic inflammation of bronchi and its surrounding tissues damages the tube wall, leading to bronchiectasis and deformation, and even hemoptysis. More common in young people.
