What are the causes of asthma?

GENETIC
One of the most important causes of asthma is genetic. Asthma is a hereditary disease. But that does not mean that people who do not have asthma in their family will not have asthma. Since the gene causing asthma has not been determined yet, no one can test whether asthma will develop.
In children, the risk of asthma is around 10-20%, while in children with allergic diseases in the family it increases to 30%. If there is an allergic disease in two people in family, this risk is up to 50%. Nothing in the child will be the same disease as the allergic disease in the family. That is, when the mother has eczema, the child may have food allergies or asthma.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
We can not say that the only reason for asthma is genetic. At the same time environmental factors are also affected. What are these environmental factors?
ALLERGENS
There are various allergens in the house. These are mildew caused by feathers or deep rashes of domestic animals such as mites, cats, dogs in house dust, cockroach excretions, hanging on the wall or food.
Allergens outside the house are grasses, grasses, trees, cereals (wheat, barley, corn, oats, rye) pollen, molds.
How does pets feed asthma?
If there is a cat at home before the child's birth, the risk of allergy development is not increasing. However, it is thought that the risk of allergy increases with the birth of the child after birth. However, this issue has yet to be clarified. For this reason, feathered pets like cat dogs are not recommended for families with asthma.
INFECTIONS
In particular, it is thought that viruses, ie influenza infections, are important in developing asthma. In particular, there is evidence that the respiratory syncytial virus (the most common cause of bronchiolitis between 6 months and 2 years of age) is caused by asthma. Influenza infections are also the most important triggers cause as well as cause asthma. 80% of the causes of asthma triggering asthma are influenza infections. It's good to say no to the flu.
CIGARET
Exposure to cigarette smoke is the most significant factor in the development of asthma in children. Smoking or exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy also leads to the development of asthma. Cigarette smoking can cause asthma as well as trigger asthma and cause asthma attack. It can also prevent asthma treatment from succeeding.
AIR POLLUTION
The role of air pollution in the development of asthma is controversial, but it is the cause of lung development that affects poorly and induces asthma, leading to asthma.
WESTERN TYPE NUTRITION
Fruit and vegetable consumption is low, margarine and vegetable oils are consumed too much, and excessive consumption of hamburger type foods with additives can contribute to the development of asthma. Obesity is an important risk factor for developing asthma.
HYGIENE IMPROVES ASTHMA MORE IMPORTANT. WHY?
When the immune system develops, TH1 (T heps 1) and TH2 (T heps 2) balance is important. What are these? TH1 is an allergen-preserving system and becomes more dominant when compared with micros. TH2 is an immunological system that causes allergies. After birth, TH2 is slightly suppressed. However, as soon as this birth is compared with the micros, TH1 becomes dominant and our body is protected from allergy. While confrontation with micros provides TH1 dominance, genetic predisposition, obesity, contact with allergens, exposure to cigarette smoke and frequent antibiotic use until the age of 2 provide TH2 dominance. So confrontation with the micros makes TH1 dominant and in TH1 the task is to protect our body from allergies. As we get less and less confronted with the mic, TH1 loses its power and can not protect our body from allergies.
The immune system develops after the child's birth and there are fewer micro-organisms in modern cities or families. Even if it encounters micro-organisms, it immediately starts to antibiotics. As a result, more asthma develops. Microspheres develop after birth to protect the immune system from allergic diseases. If fewer microbes are encountered and frequent antibiotics are used and there is a genetic predisposition, the likelihood of developing asthma is high.
Children who live in villages also have less asthma because of the use of a substance found in micro-organisms called bacterial endotoxin.
For these reasons, we should avoid using unnecessary antibiotics especially in the first 2 years of our children. We need to strengthen the immune system.
How does hypersensitivity develop in asthmatic children's lungs?
Infants with asthma have inflammation, which we call inflammation with genetic and various factors in the respiratory tract (sensitivity develops in the nose). Due to the inflammation of the breath tubes, small holes are formed in the protective mucosa layer of the breathing tubes.
The presence of these holes also makes the breathing tubes more susceptible to allergens and triggers such as cigarettes, dirty air, and flu-like infections. Apart from this, the number of mast cells that cause the narrowing of the breathing tubes in this region is also increasing. This is also an extremely sensitive additive. Apart from this, the structure of the breath tubes also changes and causes sensitivity.
What triggers my asthma?
Children with asthma have extreme sensitivity to breathing tubes. Due to this sensitivity, when some trigger factors are encountered, narrowing of the breathing tubes occurs and symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, breathing are emerging. These triggers are:
• Colds / infections
• Instantaneous air and temperature changes
• Exercise
• Smoking or exposure to cigarette smoke
• Micro-organisms we call mites in house dust
• Professional factors
• Pollen
• Food additives
• Mold and preservatives
• Animal leather remains
• Certain drugs
• Emotions / stress
Which doctor should I go to?
If you have asthma symptoms when you see these triggers in your child, if you have allergic disease in your family,you should go to an allergy specialist.
