Tracheal reexamination of pulmonary nodules

When nodules are found in the lungs, doctors will suggest regular check-ups, but quite a few people feel healthy and have no symptoms, so they will no longer take it to heart or listen to the doctor's advice of regular check-ups. I met a 50-year-old female patient before and found a nodule in her lung. The doctor suggested regular check-ups. Because I didn't take it to heart, in less than two years, with the aggravation of cough, I went to the hospital for examination, which not only became cancerous, but even advanced. There are many examples of serious consequences caused by one's own negligence. What should I do if I find nodules in my lungs? It is roughly divided into three steps. 1. We should pay attention to the discovery of pulmonary nodules, further clarify the nature of the lesions, and avoid excessive panic and repeated visits, wasting energy and financial resources. 2. Most of the pulmonary nodules found in physical examination are benign lesions, and corresponding examinations should be carried out according to the doctor's advice, including thin-slice CT, three-dimensional reconstruction CT and enhanced CT. If malignant transformation is suspected by imaging examination, percutaneous lung puncture, PET-CT and bronchoscopy are recommended. 3. Regular follow-up should be conducted according to the doctor's advice, and the condition should be monitored at any time. Under normal circumstances, if the number of pulmonary nodules regularly reviewed does not increase much, the problem is not pathological, so don't worry too much. So what kind of nodules are high-risk nodules that are easy to become cancerous? Three indicators can be used to judge 1. Shape: The more "weird" the nodule, the greater the possibility of malignancy. For example, there are lobulation, burr, pleural traction, gas-containing bronchiole sign and vesicular sign, eccentric thick-walled cavity and so on. 2. Size: Solid nodules larger than 1.5cm or mixed ground-glass nodules larger than 8mm are high-risk nodules. 3, location: look at the location: malignant tumor is best on the right lung. What is the relationship between lung nodules and lung cancer? If all kinds of pulmonary nodules are regarded as a big family, most members of this family are "kind", that is, benign nodules. But some members are bad people, malignant nodules, and will develop into lung cancer. In other words, don't worry too much about finding pulmonary nodules. Most pulmonary nodules will not become cancer, but they can't be ignored. CT should be reviewed regularly. What should we pay attention to in daily life to help prevent pulmonary nodules? 1, try to avoid contact with harmful aerosols, such as kitchen fume, second-hand smoke, dust, coal, gas and other volatile organic compounds. 2, timely and actively treat chronic lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, chronic lung inflammation, tuberculosis, lung scar lesions, pneumoconiosis, etc. These are the three correct steps in detecting pulmonary nodules, the specific relationship between pulmonary nodules and lung cancer, and the matters needing attention in preventing pulmonary nodules in life. I hope everyone will pay more attention to pulmonary nodules and basic knowledge, and treat them rationally once they are found out, so as to minimize the threat to health.
