Bronchiectasis: A patient-friendly overview
Bronchiectasis is a long-term lung condition where the airways (bronchi) become widened and damaged, leading to excess mucus production. This damage makes it harder for the lungs to clear mucus, increasing the risk of infections. Over time, this creates a cycle of infection and inflammation that worsens lung function. Revered consultant in respiratory medicine Dr Shalin Diwanji explains more about the condition.
