Bronchiectasis FAQ

What is bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the airways in the lungs are permanently widened. This leads to mucus build-up, increased risk of lung infections, and breathing difficulties.

What are the common symptoms of bronchiectasis?

Common symptoms include a persistent cough, daily sputum production, and recurrent respiratory infections. Breathlessness and coughing up blood can also occur.

What causes bronchiectasis?

The most common cause is damage to the airways due to recurrent inflammation or infection, such as from severe pneumonia or whooping cough. It can also be caused by conditions like cystic fibrosis or immunodeficiency disorders.

How is bronchiectasis diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a medical history review, physical examination, and tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, and sputum cultures. Lung function tests and bronchoscopy may also be performed.

Is bronchiectasis curable?

While bronchiectasis is not curable, treatment aims to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and manage underlying conditions such as infections. Therapy may include airway clearance techniques, medication, and, in some cases, surgery.
