The fear - inspiring lung disease affecting women more than men

The pulmonary obtrusive disease (SPOK) is always considered male disease, while currently killing more women than men. Nearly 8% of women in America have been diagnosed with this disease, while men below 6%.

Since SPOK is often associated with men, women are usually diagnosed after the disease has advanced. SPOK symptoms are chronic coughing, sneezing, chest handshakes and breathing difficulties. Currently, there is no particular cure for chronic pulmonary obstructural disease, yet its deterioration may slow down. The most important thing patients diagnosed with SPOK have to do is quit smoking.

SPOK is the term involving some serious lung diseases, such as chronic bronkitis, emphysema, and other conditions that make lung function difficult. Besides smoking, other factors such as air pollution and genetics can contribute to the development of this disease.

Women are more endangered than men to have a deteriorating condition as a result of infections or exposure to air pollutants.
