Lung disease refers to any condition that affects the lungs or their function. This can include a wide range of conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, pneumonia, and many others. These diseases can be caused by various factors including genetics, environmental exposures, infections, or other underlying health conditions. Lung diseases can range from mild to severe, and some may even be life-threatening if not properly managed. Treatment options for lung disease depend on the specific condition and its severity but may include medications, lifestyle changes, therapies, or surgery in more advanced cases.
