Unique Factors in Female Bronchial Asthma: Menopause? Hormone Therapy?

doi:10.12280/gjfckx.20220416

Abstract

Abstract:

Bronchial asthma is a common respiratory disease, manifested as recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and so on. Bronchial asthma attacks are sudden and changeable, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. It brings heavy burden to personal life and social economy. Studies have shown that female bronchial asthma is not only affected by allergens, genetics, environment and other factors, but also menopause and hormone therapy. However, there are few studies on the relationship between menopause, hormone therapy and bronchial asthma in China. The clinician′s insufficient cognition of the relationship between the two has brought great difficulties to the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma in postmenopausal women. This article is to summarize the latest researches at home and abroad, and to review the effect and mechanism of menopause and sex hormone therapy on asthma, with a view to providing guidance for clinicians in diagnosis and treatment, provide better tertiary prevention services for perimenopausal women.

Key words: Menopause, Perimenopause, Estrogen replacement therapy, Asthma, Progestins
