Scars on the lung tissue cause it to thicken and lose the elasticity found in healthy lungs. Like scars on the skin, lung scars are permanent. Small scars may not cause noticeable symptoms, but excessive scarring makes it difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
