All you need to know before you see a respiratory doctor

Misunderstandings about respiratory illnesses remain widespread among the general public, and common misconceptions often prevent people from seeking timely medical treatment. In this episode of Health Talk, CGTN invites Dr. Xu Jinfu, president of Shanghai Tongji Hospital, to debunk three common myths about lung health. He also explains three major categories of respiratory conditions: pulmonary nodules; chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and bronchiectasis; and common respiratory tract infections.

Regular lung screenings can detect hidden lesions and chronic airway problems at an early stage. Quitting smoking is one of the most effective ways to reduce the leading risk factor for many chronic respiratory diseases. Adopting a scientific understanding of respiratory health can help build a strong foundation for lifelong lung health.
