Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 37 years old this year, male. Since my 20s, when I had a health check-up, it showed that my lung function was not very good, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now I've realized that I have a disease—bullous lung, emphysema, and cor pulmonale. How should I treat it better?Doctor's answer:
A 37-year-old male with previously poor lung function. Currently, there is a recurrence of bullae and emphysema, in addition to diseases such as cor pulmonale. These conditions can worsen and harm lung function. To address this recurrence, it is essential to effectively control and prevent respiratory infections, strictly quit smoking, and prevent the evolution of sputum. Additionally, it is important to avoid inhaling harmful gases. Appropriate home oxygen therapy can be provided to stabilize lung function.
