What Causes Fluid In Lungs?
My boyfriend s lung x-ray shows a severly obstructed and obstrictive view of his left lung. It also shows fluid build-up in his left lung. He recently had 1700cc. of fluid drained from the same lung two weeks ago. What are the possible causes of this? and does this mean cancer?

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic .
More fluid accumlation in lung called pleural effusion. More amount of fluid aspirate and proper dose of drugs given.
According to type of infection use a antibiotics course under doctor's suggestion.
After seeing chest X ray exact idea about disease can occurs.
Consent a pulmonologist for further diagnosis.
Proper history and physical examination give exact idea.
I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
