Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Two years ago, I had a lung bleb surgery with a thoracotomy. I am currently recovering and need to pay attention to what? The wound on my chest has already healed, but I still can't do those light activities, so I can only do many simple tasks. Hello, what should I eat more?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for patients who have undergone surgery for pulmonary bullae. Generally, this type of patient is prone to developing pulmonary bullae again. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo periodic chest CT scans. Usually, a follow-up scan is performed once a year. In fact, coughing should not be forceful, nor should there be a strenuous effort when defecating. In terms of diet, a light and simple diet should be followed. Heavy physical exercise should be avoided. If there are underlying conditions, such as emphysema, active treatment should be initiated.
