Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How should I treat pulmonary emphysema and bullae in both lungs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are again emphysema and bullae in both lungs. This condition is very likely to affect lung breathing function. Moreover, if the bullae rupture, it may lead to a pneumothorax, causing severe pain. Therefore, if you have this condition, it is essential to go to the thoracic surgery department of a hospital as soon as possible to undergo surgical removal treatment. For the bullae, surgical removal can provide a complete and effective treatment for relief.
