Patient's question:
I am 37 years old, and recently I've been feeling that my breathing is particularly difficult and uncomfortable. So, I underwent a thorough examination, and the results showed that I have urethritis, emphysema, and bullae in both lungs, which are very severe. I'm very concerned about my health, so I want to know what I should do?Doctor's answer:
A 37-year-old male, complaining of shortness of breath, had a thorough examination at the follow-up hospital, which indicated inflammation in both lungs, emphysema, and pulmonary bullae. Generally, such lung inflammation is often associated with chronic respiratory diseases and long-term smoking, among other factors. First and foremost, it is essential to strictly quit smoking. If there is a respiratory infection, active relief is necessary, and exposure to harmful gases should be avoided. Emphysema and pulmonary bullae are generally irreversible changes.
