Does slight emphysema need treatment?

Mild emphysema mostly does not need treatment, because the compensatory capacity of the lung is very large, that is, there is a small lesion or the lung is slightly damaged, other lungs can completely compensate for this part of the damage, can achieve complete lung function. But it's important to note that emphysema has a cause, such as smoking, air pollution, whether it's smog or chemical aerosols, and the damage to the lungs continues if inhaled, so emphysema is a signal that the body is starting to break down and may continue to break down. So the concern is not whether it can be cured, but whether it will develop and cause more serious diseases. Because the lung structure cannot be completely restored once damaged, emphysema cannot change back to the original normal lung tissue, but it is enough to stabilize it and not develop through various means.
