Over the years, people's health awareness has been greatly improved, no matter what age, many people will choose to go to the hospital regularly for physical examinations, so as to prevent problems before they occur.
However, for people who do not know much about some cities, after getting the physical examination report, it is inevitable that there will be worries, such as after the detection of lung nodules, many people will worry about cancer, so is the lung nodule really dangerous? The doctor said that after reading the following three contents, you will understand!
1. What is a lung nodule
First of all, we need to know what the lung nodule is, from a medical point of view, the lung nodule is a multi-system, multi-organ granulomatous disease whose cause has not yet been clear, and there are no obvious symptoms clinically, most of which are found during physical examination.
2. The size of the lung nodule
To know whether the lung nodules will pose a threat to health, first of all, the size of the volume should be clarified, under normal circumstances, if the lung nodules, less than or equal to 8 mm or more is benign, no need for surgical resection, just annual review can be.
On the contrary, if it exceeds 8 mm, in order to prevent harm to the patient's body, it is recommended to operate under the guidance of a doctor.
3. The morphology and growth rate of lung nodules
In addition to the need to understand the size of the lung nodules, it is also necessary to pay attention to the morphology, because clinical survey data show that benign lung nodule edges and rules, and if the lung nodules are examined, the edges are blurred, the surface is not smooth enough, and the possibility of malignancy is higher. Especially the lung nodules with burrs and dispensing, should be given more attention.
In addition, the growth rate of lung nodules is also very important, if the first examination is out, the lung nodules are only 5 mm in size, but the second time it exceeds 8 mm, it also needs to be treated as soon as possible.
After the pulmonary nodule is found, it is recommended to do the following three things for conditioning.
1. Maintain good living habits
After the occurrence of pulmonary nodule disease, in order to avoid the continuous aggravation of the disease, we must maintain good living habits, such as regular work and rest, adequate sleep and light diet.
In particular, avoid eating too much hot and dry phlegm and cold food, otherwise it is likely to promote the volume of lung nodules to become larger.
2. Drink plenty of water
The lungs are the respiratory organs of the human body, if there is a lack of water, not only will there be problems such as coughing and sputum, but also may increase the risk of lung diseases.
Especially people with pulmonary nodules, there are often hot and dry diets, which in turn leads to fluid imbalance, spleen, lung and kidney damage, at this time we should drink more water, especially dandelion water or Sydney water, which helps to relieve liver depression, phlegm and cough, and then help alleviate lung nodule disease.
3. Insist on doing sports
When diagnosed with lung nodules, if you want to improve the condition, insisting on doing exercise is indeed a very important measure, because in the case of lung problems, the human body's resistance is relatively weak, and insisting on exercise can promote blood circulation, accelerate the excretion of metabolic substances, and then help eliminate lung nodules.
In general, from a medical point of view, the lung nodules are not very serious diseases, and whether the lung nodules will threaten health is mainly related to the size, shape and growth rate.
Therefore, after the detection of lung nodules, it is necessary to carefully observe, and regularly go to the hospital for examination, if it is found that the growth rate is too fast, and the edges are blurred, it is best to do surgery quickly.
