Understanding Recurrent Pneumothorax
Recurrent pneumothorax refers to the reoccurrence of a collapsed lung, a condition where air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to deflate. This condition can be both painful and life-threatening if not managed effectively. Individuals who experience recurrent pneumothorax often face challenges in breathing and may require immediate medical attention.
