Patient's question:
Can pulmonary fibrosis be cured? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Theoretically, it cannot be cured. First, the lungs will never fibrose for no reason; it is caused by foreign substances invading and destroying normal lung tissue, forming cavities or adhering to the lung surface. The body initiates a repair program at the site of the disease to regenerate granulation tissue or connective tissue, which ultimately results in fibrosis. Therefore, this is an irreversible process.
