Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a widespread and progressive lung disorder primarily attributed to long-term exposure to irritants, with cigarette smoking being the leading cause. This abstract provides a concise overview of COPD, focusing on its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management. The key causes and risk factors, such as occupational exposures and genetic factors, are discussed. Common symptoms of COPD, including chronic cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, are outlined. The diagnostic methods, such as spirometer and imaging, are summarized, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Finally, COPD management strategies encompassing smoking cessation, medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications are highlighted. This abstract underscores the significance of early intervention and comprehensive care to improve the quality of life for individuals living with COPD.
