Hi! I want to know more about Pneumo-Thorax. My friend had it he is 38 years old. He had it twice on same side. What can cause spontaneous Pneumo-Thorax? Doctor told him that he should think about surgery.
Hi! A pneumothorax may occur for no identifiable reason. Doctors call this a spontaneous pneumothorax. Spontaneous pneumothorax usually occurs when a small weakened area of lung ruptures (primary spontaneous pneumothorax). The condition is most common in tall men younger than age 40. For people who have a pneumothorax that will not heal or a pneumothorax that has occurred twice on the same side, surgery, often using a thoracoscope, is performed to eliminate the cause of the problem. I know how much difficult it can be. I hope that your friend will be ok.
spontaneous pneumothorax does occur in women, there are suggested links to stress, loud music, smoking, scuba diving, musicians, weather/ changes in temperatures , and flying.
Truth is NOBODY KNOWS for sure. The condition is not common enough to warrant spending lots of money on research.
Most doctors have only text book knowledge its often misdiagnosed. Upon reading personal experiences of sp suffers its obvious that there are common after pains of such condition that can last for quite some time that doctors are unaware of.

Can a pneumothorax be the result of a problem with the menstrual cycle?
