my name is kaytlin muszynski and im 20 yrs of age i havent ever had a problem with my health but my fiance and i are expecting.. my fiance just found out he has a hole in his lung, the size of a pen, real small im assuming.. what exactly does this mean? what is he going to have to do? is it serious? should i be worried, were expecting a child and i need help to help him.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your fianc\u00e9 is having lung cyst or ballad. It is empty airspace within lung tissue. It is developmental thing. If patient is asymptomatic (no cough, breathlessness, expectoration) then nothing should be done. If he is a active smoker then tell him to quit smoking as soon as possible. And no harm or fear for your future baby. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your fianc\u00e9. Thanks.
