Bilateral emphysema refers to the presence of emphysema, a chronic lung condition characterized by the destruction of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, affecting both lungs. This condition results in reduced airflow, difficulty breathing, and decreased oxygen exchange, often caused by long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, chronic cough, and wheezing. Management typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function and quality of life.
