Lao Huang, 66, was found in a pulmonary nodule during a physical examination in 19 years, when CT reports showed "solid small nodules in the lower lobe of the left lung, about 4 mm in size." Lao Huang is very scared, regretting that he usually smokes too much, will he get lung cancer? A recent review found that the nodules were 1 mm longer. This time, Lao Huang's days are even more difficult, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.
A lung nodule is a round or irregular lesion with a diameter of less than or equal to 3 cm in the lungs. In other words, as long as the lesions below 3 cm in the lungs can be called "lung nodules".
According to the CT image of the chest, there are three types of nodules: solid nodules, partial solid nodules and ground glass nodules.
Malignant probability: some solid nodules > ground glass nodules > solid nodules.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >In fact, most people have a misunderstanding, will lung nodules develop into lung cancer? Often these 3 types of people have a high probability of malignant nodules</h1>
1. Suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and the older the age, the greater the possibility of malignancy
2. Women have a higher risk of malignancy than men in ground glass nodules
3. People who have a family history of lung cancer, a history of smoking, or are smoking or have long-term exposure to second-hand smoke are more likely to be malignant
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > Lao Huang paid special attention to it from finding out that the nodule was 1mm long, and after a year of review, the nodule was 1mm, almost all dissipated, it turned out that he often did these 3 things, and the doctor praised it after listening. </h1>
1. Dietary supplementation
From Lao Huang to find out the lung nodules, his wife heard that lung nodules can eat more lung-nourishing food, such as white fungus, pears, fungus, etc., he changed the pattern to give Lao Huang medicinal food, often make these two soups, will drink 2-3 times a week.
Lily silver ear lotus seed soup: lily can nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, lotus seed has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the heart and calming the mind. The two can be eaten together in soup, which can play a role in alleviating the dry heat of the lungs, suppressing cough and sputum, and clearing the lungs and moisturizing the lungs.
Chuanbei Sydney pig lung soup: This soup has a certain therapeutic effect on people with lung weakness cough, dry heat injury to the lungs, dry throat and thirst, and lung nodules. The combination of pig lung Chuanbei Sydney pear can dissolve phlegm and clear the lungs, nourish the yin and vitality, moisturize the lungs and relieve cough.
2. Insist on exercise
Every morning at 6:30 in the park can see the figure of Lao Huang, from the detection of lung nodules he will go to the park every day to play tai chi, and always say that practicing a complete individual is much easier. Patients with pulmonary nodules can carry out some aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, tai chi, square dancing, etc., preferably in a place with a good air environment, which can improve autoimmunity and lung capacity, and have some effect on dissipating nodules.
3. Happy mood
Under the enlightenment of his children, Lao Huang also figured out "happy is a day, unhappy is also a day, then why not be happy to live every day", the mood is naturally not so heavy, just found out that the lung nodules all day long thinking, trance, the whole person is haggard a lot, from wanting to open after Lao Huang often and his wife to watch comedy variety shows, every day is amused haha laugh.
