Bilateral alveoli refers to the presence of restrictive and obstructive emphysema in both lungs on pulmonary examination, with persistent alveolar enlargement that can lead to rupture of the alveolar walls and other damage.
The alveolar structure is rich in capillaries and connective tissue, and is the main part of the body’s gas exchange, but also the functional unit of the lungs. The body’s oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the blood, so the alveoli themselves have high permeability. If inflammation occurs in the lungs, it may cause damage to the lung cilia, and the mucous membranes will become ulcerated, and the alveoli will become larger, lose their elasticity, and it is difficult to contract on their own.
The main factors for the appearance of alveoli in both lungs are congenital bronchial developmental abnormalities, cartilage developmental insufficiency, as well as the over-expansion and rupture of the alveoli, which will easily form alveoli by fusing with each other, and emphysema exists in most cases in this situation.
If alveoli appear in both lungs and are accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
