summary

Pulmonary bullae (also called pulmonary bullae) refer to the air sac containing cavity formed in the lung tissue due to the increase of pressure in the alveolar cavity and the rupture and fusion of the alveolar walls due to various reasons. Pulmonary bullae may not have obvious discomfort in the early stage, if delayed or not treated, with the progress of the disease, it may cause tension pneumothorax, and even pose a threat to life. Now let's see if pulmonary bullae need to take medicine.

Does lung bulla need to take medicine

First, in the case of untreated, only relying on drugs can not reverse the pathological changes of pulmonary bullae, drug treatment is to relieve symptoms, reduce pulmonary bullae infection and acute attack, generally need surgical treatment.

Second, surgical removal of pulmonary bullae can make the compressed lung tissue expand again, increase the respiratory area, disappear the intrapulmonary shunt, increase the arterial partial pressure of oxygen, reduce the airway resistance, increase the ventilation volume, and improve the dyspnea symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Third, pulmonary bullae belong to localized emphysema. Those who have been diagnosed by examination should actively accept standardized treatment, rational use of drugs, closed drainage, surgery and other treatment methods. If the condition needs to cooperate with drug treatment, it is inappropriate not to take medicine. Asymptomatic bullae do not need treatment. Patients with chronic bronchitis or emphysema mainly treat primary lesions. When secondary infection occurs, effective antibiotics should be used.

matters needing attention

It is suggested that patients with pulmonary bullae should have a light diet, strengthen nutrition, pay attention to rest, and avoid the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol. They can be examined in thoracic surgery department of local regular hospital, and minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery can be considered if necessary.
