author:Director of Lung Disease Zhao Keming

Recently, I received an old patient who said that he had had lung nodule surgery before, and now that he has been more than two years old, he always feels chest tightness and cough, which is uncomfortable.

In fact, I have mentioned many times that some small nodules are not recommended for surgery, that is, I am afraid that these problems will occur, and the quality of life will really be greatly reduced. And there are often patient questions, why my nodules are obviously after surgery, and why are they long again. In fact, surgery can not solve the fundamental problem, or to improve the physique of this nodule in order not to grow nodules.

I am Zhao Keming, a lung specialist, and if you have lung nodules or other questions, you can always ask me.

Why is nodule surgery uncomfortable? In fact, these two reasons

1. After the lung surgery, there is one less lung, the remaining lungs will bulge out of the trachea and the position has changed, and the breathing will be different from before and the throat and trachea will feel uncomfortable;

2, the lungs are very delicate, after cutting will leave a white scar, equivalent to foreign bodies will definitely stimulate want to cough;

In addition, there are many people who feel gastroesophageal reflux after nodal surgery, and there will be heartburn, hiccups, chest tightness and shortness of breath.

This situation can only be slowly adapted, usually exercise more, practice holding breath, swimming and so on.

I still advise everyone not to panic if you have a lung nodule, you can treat conservatively, and if you can use traditional Chinese medicine to condition, don't operate is really not worth the loss. If your lung nodule is really malignant, it must be treated surgically and I will also tell you in time, so as not to delay the condition. To be a doctor is to do what should be done, and not to do what should not be done. Do you think I'm right?
