Must bronchial stenosis be treated surgically?
In general, whether surgery is necessary for bronchial stenosis mainly depends on the severity of the condition. Mild bronchial stenosis may not require surgical intervention, whereas severe cases may require surgical treatment. If any of the above situations occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Specific analysis is as follows:
If the bronchial stenosis is mild, especially when caused by inflammation, symptoms can often be relieved through medication and physical therapy, and immediate surgery may not be necessary. It is recommended to follow a doctor's instructions and use medications such as cefixime tablets, amoxicillin capsules, or azithromycin tablets.
If the bronchial stenosis is severe and has already affected respiratory function, causing persistent shortness of breath, frequent infections, or hypoxia, surgery may be required to repair or reconstruct the damaged bronchial structure and alleviate the condition.
When determining a treatment plan, doctors will comprehensively consider and evaluate the patient’s specific circumstances.
