What is the Bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a lung condition whereby the airways widen and scar resulting in the reduced effectiveness to clear mucus. Trapped mucus promotes bacterial growth and this can lead to repeat infections and further damage. These changes result in a productive cough, wheeze, fatigue and shortness of breath which can impact on socially occasions and reduce physical ability when exercising or playing hobbies.
