COPD and Lung Health

Emphysema

Emphysema is a progressive and chronic lung disease that falls under the broader category of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is characterized by the destruction of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, leading to a loss of their elasticity. This loss of elasticity reduces the ability of the lungs to expand and contract efficiently, impairing normal airflow. Regular follow-ups with healthcare professionals are essential for monitoring the progression of the disease and adjusting the treatment plan accordingly.
