The progress of emphysema due to TB slows down after TB is cured, and regular checkups and care not to exert oneself too much in daily life usually do not have a serious effect on the organism.
Emphysema is an irreversible pathologic change in the lungs, a pathological phenomenon in which the distal airways of the terminal bronchioles become less elastic, overinflated and inflated, with damage to the airway walls and an increase in lung volume.
Emphysema due to disease causes slows down the rate of progression of emphysema when disease factors are removed. When the organism is infected with tuberculosis, the lungs are damaged, which is a cause of emphysema.
People with emphysema should pay attention to the fact that they should not overwork in their daily life and are prohibited from doing heavy physical work. As the disease is irreversible, its development should be controlled. When TB is cured, regular medical checkups as well as attention to lifestyle usually have little effect on life expectancy.
