Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago I took my father-in-law to the hospital for a thorough physical examination. Then the doctor told me that my father-in-law has what is known as "smoke disease." However, we didn't really understand it before, so I wanted to ask you, doctor, what should be done if one has "smoke disease"?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to treat according to the symptoms, and surgery may be necessary if needed. For patients who have experienced multiple infarctions, thrombolytic therapy is generally used, or hormone therapy can also be considered. If the condition is severe, a bypass surgery may be performed. It is advised to detect and treat as early as possible, otherwise the best opportunity for treatment may be missed, which could severely endanger the patient's life. Attention should also be paid to diet, with light food as the foundation, avoiding greasy, spicy, and irritating foods.
