If someone in the family has asthma, others are at higher risk.
Asthma is a chronic disease, meaning it usually does not go away completely but is controlled through long-term management.
There are several scientific and medical reasons why asthma does not go away:
- Persistent sensitivity of the airways
In asthma, the airways of the lungs are always sensitive. This sensitivity lasts for many years and causes immediate swelling and narrowing in the event of a trigger (e.g. dust, smoke, cold). - Genetic influence
Asthma is often a hereditary disease. If someone in the family has asthma, others are also at a higher risk of it. And genetic diseases are often chronic and do not completely “go away”, only controlled. - Environmental factors
Smoke, pollen, cold air, pet hair, chemicals, smog, germs or dust mites, all of which can cause asthma attacks. These factors are always present, so asthma recurs. - Immune Dysregulation
Asthma is actually a disease of the immune system. The body sometimes reacts to stimuli that do not affect normal people. - Temporary effect of medications
Asthma medications (such as inhalers or corticosteroids) temporarily control symptoms, but do not eliminate them completely. As soon as the medication is stopped, the symptoms return. - Changes in body composition
If asthma lasts for a long time, permanent changes can occur in the airways of the lungs that cannot be returned to normal.
