Patient's question:
Doctor, my uncle got emphysema recently, and we are very worried. We don't know how he got sick. Hello, how is emphysema caused?Doctor's answer:
Emphysema is caused by chronic lung diseases and asthma, leading to an increase in lung function, which results in poor lung ventilation and alveolar expansion. There is no specific medication for treating emphysema. To completely heal emphysema, one must first heal the specific cause that led to it, and emphysema will then recover on its own. The most common causes of emphysema include chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, etc.
