Abstract

Bronchiectasis is pathological damage to the terminal bronchi due to infectious, immunological or genetic factors, including destruction of the muscular and elastic tissues of the bronchial walls, resulting in irreversible dilatation and thickening of the bronchial walls, characterised by chronic cough, copious pus sputum or recurrent haemoptysis. There is currently no cure for bronchiectasis. Body constitution is an inherent and relatively stable characteristic of each individual, acquired through a combination of genetic predisposition and acquired characteristics, which does not change within a short period of time. Therefore, the TCM constitution is able to identify the onset, development and fading of diseases. This article summarises and examines the understanding of bronchiectasis in Chinese medicine, the characteristics of the TCM constitution in bronchiectasis, and the management of bronchiectasis by the TCM constitution, in the hope of preventing the occurrence and deterioration of bronchiectasis before it happens, and providing new ideas for the treatment of the disease.
