Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What is meant by localized emphysema?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary emphysema refers to a situation where emphysema is not authoritative or counterfeit within a small range, and this condition is usually caused by localized inflammation, not affecting the entire lung, proving it to be an early-stage emphysema. The treatment effect is good, and it is generally unlikely to lead to severe complications. If localized emphysema develops into severe bullae, surgical removal can be performed, resulting in a relatively better emphysema.
