Can Stem Cell Therapy Cure COPD?

Hi Doctors,

Good evening.

About a year back, I was diagonised to be suffering from COPD with severe sinusitis.



I am mostly living on the following inhalers:

1. Livosalbutamol sulphate with ibratropium bromide

2. Salmetrol & Fruticasone proproniate



Is there any stem cell therapy available in Bangalore by which I may be completely cured for this dreaded disease.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sorry to say but stem cell therapy has no role in COPD.
And COPD is chronic progressive disease.
It can be controlled with a drugs and Pulmonary rehabilitation but not cured.
Along with inhaled treatment, You should follow
1. Adult pulmonary vaccines like influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.
2. Deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry.
3. Smoking cessation.
All these come under pulmonary rehabilitation. So enroll yourself in rehab center for better symptomatic relief.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
