What is a disease with bubbles in the lungs?

Pulmonary air bubbles may be bullae, which may be seen in congenital abnormalities or in COPD. Isolated bullae in emphysema are usually not treated if the patient has no clinical symptoms. However, if bullae are near the periphery of the lung and repeated pneumothorax occurs, surgical removal is often required. Surgery can help prevent pneumothorax recurrence. In addition, for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema combined with relatively isolated pulmonary bullae, the patient's chest distress, breathing difficulties and symptoms are more obvious. In this case, you can also do pulmonary bullae resection, after this method is equivalent to doing lung volume reduction surgery. For improving the patient's chest distress symptoms, may be helpful.
