pulmonary nodules refer to imaging as focal, round-like, density-enhanced solid or subsolid lung shadows with a diameter of ≤3cm. They can be isolated or multiple, without atelectasis , hilar lymph node enlargement and pleural effusion of . Moreover, if you do not pay attention to treatment, it is easy to develop lung cancer, so it is very important to prevent lung nodules.
Several types of people who are prone to lung nodules. See if you are among them:
1. People with a family history of cancer, especially a family history of lung cancer;
2. People who like to smoke, have a strong addiction to smoking, and have a long history of smoking;
3. People who have been exposed to second-hand smoke environment for a long time;
4. People who are exposed to more dust and pollution in the professional environment or living environment;
5. People who have a history of lung diseases and respiratory diseases in the past;
1 The above categories of people should take lung nodules more seriously than others and have regular physical examinations. I wonder if you have ever heard this saying: "Prevention is more important than remedy." I want to tell everyone that they can live a healthy life and maintain daily health, and exchange for maximum health at the lowest cost.
For the occurrence of lung nodules, the main prevention plans include:
1. Prevent infection
, such as daily cold protection and warm protection, reducing upper respiratory tract infection , as well as subsequent bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as infection of some special pathogens.
2. Avoid inhaling air pollutants
includes haze, environmental pollution such as formaldehyde and nitrogen oxide compounds, cigarettes and electronic cigarettes, etc. Pay attention to wearing masks at normal times, avoid smoke irritation, and a home air purifier.
3. Gene susceptibility
In this regard, it is almost impossible to prevent it. Therefore, early warning can only be carried out through daily physical examinations to achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment. Especially for those with a family history, the lung cancer blood antibody test launched by the Respiratory Department of Shuguang Hospital will help to judge benign and malignantly in the early stage of lung nodules.
4. Improve the body constitution
Traditional medicine improves the soil environment for lung nodules through carcinogenic constitution conditioning. It can control and even reduce and disappear lung nodules, and can also benefit the conditioning of lung cancer and its surgical patients.
