What is Emphysema disease? How it can be prevented?

Answer»

Emphysema: 

  • It is caused due to heavy smoking and air pollution. 
  • Smoking causes continuous stimulation in the lungs which destroys the alveolar walls. 
  • This results in increased air space but decreases in the respiratory surface in the lungs. 
  • Lung elasticity is also reduced due to the increased amount of connective tissues. It causes difficulty in expiration. 
  • Avoiding smoking, use of antibiotics and bronchial-dilators are helpful to get relief.
