Lung Blebs/ Bullae
What causes pulmonary blebs to form?
A bleb is caused by alveolar rupture, which allows air to travel through the interlobular septum that divides the secondary pulmonary lobules to the subpleural region. The subpleural region is displaced, and a subpleural emphysematous vesicle (i.e., a bleb) is thus formed.
Are blebs in lungs normal?
Blebs are a very common finding in otherwise normal individuals. They are often found in young patients. They are more common in thin patients and in cigarette smokers 1.

The bleb should go away on its own within a few weeks. However, if breastfeeding is too painful or a bleb does not get better, call your provider. They can help you get the appropriate treatment.

Are lung blebs serious?
However, when sufficient air has become trapped in the pleural space, sometimes indicated by chest pain, blebs can trigger lung collapse (spontaneous pneumothorax). Partial or wholly collapsed lungs can be life-threatening.
Do blebs go away on their own?
The bleb should go away on its own within a few weeks. However, if breastfeeding is too painful or a bleb does not get better, call your provider. They can help you get the appropriate treatment.

How common are pulmonary blebs?
Conclusion: Blebs were identified thoracoscopically in 6% of young healthy adults with no underlying lung disease.
How do you get rid of blebs in your lungs?
The operation for bleb resection can be done via mini-thoracotomy or thoracoscopy. The procedure is performed with general anesthesia using a special endotracheal tube that allows intentional collapse of the lung which is operated on. The procedure is performed through a series of small incisions.
