Bronchiectasis is caused by chronic suppurative inflammation and fibrosis of the bronchi and the surrounding lung tissue, damaging the muscles and elastic tissues of the bronchial walls, leading to deformation and permanent dilation of the bronchi. Bronchiectasis is chronic in formation, thus once diagnosed, it is incurable. Prevention is very important. The main cause of recurrent episodes of bronchiectasis is infection, so preventing infections is crucial. It is advised to consume a high-quality protein diet, participate in appropriate physical activities, and get annual vaccinations for influenza and pneumonia to prevent infections.
