In the medical community, how harmful are the tiny nodules of the lungs?

What are pulmonary nodules? According to the explanation of the encyclopedia entry, pulmonary nodules refer to an unspecified multi-system and multi-organ granulomatous disease, which often invades the lungs, bilateral hilar lymph nodes, eyes, ** and other organs, and its thoracic invasion rate is as high as 80% to 90%. Judging from the current situation, pulmonary nodules are distributed all over the world, with a higher incidence in Europe and the United States, and rare in Oriental peoples, more common in 20 to 40 years old, and slightly more women than men.

Many people will be very alarmed when they hear about pulmonary nodules, in fact, there is no need to panic, because pulmonary nodules are not actually a disease, let alone "sarcoidosis" as many people think. Sarcoidosis is a disease that can cause all systems of our body, and the main pathological manifestation is non-caseating necrotizing epithelioid granuloma, which can affect all organs of our body, including the lungs, liver, heart, and even ** can be affected. In medicine, medical scientists call nodules smaller than 3cm as pulmonary nodules, and for those with a diameter greater than 3cm, they are lumps, and the so-called pulmonary micronodules refer to the smaller nodules in the pulmonary nodules, such as the pulmonary nodules found to be less than 5mm, which is called micronodules, and if the size is between 5mm and 10mm, it is called pulmonary nodules.

So, are pulmonary nodules harmful to the human body? In fact, in the case of pulmonary nodules, only the following need to be noted:

First, if we are found to have pulmonary nodules, do not panic at this time, because according to clinical data, more than 95% of pulmonary nodules are benign and not malignant, so medical intervention is generally not required. Therefore, when we are diagnosed with lung nodules, do not panic, because there is only a very small probability that it will be malignant, so just calm down.

Second, lung nodules can worsen, but the proportion of small nodules in the lungs that are eventually diagnosed with lung cancer is still very low, only about 3%-10%. From here, if there is a lung nodule, there is no need to panic at all, we only need to do regular follow-up and re-examination, after all, we are not afraid of 10,000.

Thirdly, don't worry too much about lung nodules that require medical intervention. We only need to remember one thing, from the current situation, in addition to surgical removal of lung nodules, other ** means are basically unreliable, if someone says that taking medicine can cure lung nodules, basically it is not credible, it is to make you pay the "IQ tax". The current level of medical care is limited, and I haven't even figured out the ** of pulmonary nodules, but I just know that there are some reasons that can cause them.

All in all, in the medical community, the harm of small lung nodules is limited, because most of these lung micro nodules are benign and only a very few are malignant. Therefore, in real life, when we have a lung nodule detected, there is no need to worry too much.

Many people find that they have been detected with a lung nodule during a physical examination, what exactly is this lung nodule? Will it be cancerous?

With the widespread application of AI-assisted thin-slice low-dose spiral CT in lung physical examination, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is also increasing year by year. However, please rest assured that more than 90% of nodules detected are benign, which means that the detection of pulmonary nodules does not mean that they have an incurable disease.

Pulmonary nodules refer to round or irregular lesions with a diameter of less than or equal to 3 cm in the lungs, and the main causes of pulmonary nodules include many reasons, such as smoking, air pollution, bacterial and fungal infections, tuberculosis globules, sclerosing hemangiomas, etc.

In general, the nodule should be judged by its size, shape, and density.

If the physical examination is a small nodule of 2 4 mm, there is generally no need to worry too much;

4 Lung nodules between 7 mm have only a 1% chance of becoming cancerous;

If the diameter of the nodule is 8 mm 2 cm, the probability of malignancy is about 15%.

If the diameter is more than 2 cm, about 75% of it is lung cancer.

In addition to the diameter, it is also necessary to look at the density and margin of the pulmonary nodules, the edges are smooth and sharp for benign lesions, and the boundaries are unclear, irregularly contoured, lobulated, burr edges and other malignant nodules.

According to the internationally recognized guidelines for the follow-up of pulmonary nodules, solid nodules below 6 mm do not care, 6 8 mm CT is done every six months, if it cannot change in two years, it is not a big deal; CT is done every 3 months for those above 8 mm.

The follow-up of subsolid nodules should be done more frequently, and nodules below 6 mm should be followed up once every six months; Nodules over 6 mm should be followed up semi-annually for at least five years. For some solid nodules, it is recommended to check once every 3 months.

The biggest harm of lung micronodules is that it will cause this inflammation of the lungs, and in serious cases, this kind of lung cancer may be formed, so in this case, we must pay attention to this small nodule and treat this small nodule as well.

Micronodules in the lungs are less serious. There is no need to worry that it will become cancerous. Generally, a thin-slice CT once a year is sufficient. This also avoids missed diagnoses. Even if it is malignant, the odds are very high, so don't worry.

Its harm is not big, it is not small, it mainly depends on the nature, if it is benign, it does not need to be taken care of, and if it is malignant, it will be removed in time.

According to the different densities of nodules, they can be divided into pure ground-glass nodules, partially solid ground-glass nodules and pure solid nodules. Among these three types of nodules, malignant lesions accounted for % respectively. The small nodules in the lungs found in the initial CT examination are generally left after lung infection, and their benign rate is very high, generally 80%-90% are benign lesions, but it is necessary to attach great importance to it, because there is still a certain proportion of early lung cancer, regular examination is essential, and it is generally recommended to re-examine once every 2-3 months.

Multiple nodules in the lungs, up to 10*, surgery or observation? Please advise.

Pulmonary nodules have a serious impact on the breathing of the human lungs, and if the disease is more serious, it will also affect lung failure, causing the patient's life to be threatened.

The severity of a small nodule has nothing to do with his size, it is related to his good and evil, that is, it is not judged by the size, the big and the small are of little significance, but look at the good and evil, that is, to see if there is a malignant phenomenon, no matter how big or small there is a malignant change, it is cancer, on the contrary, as long as it is benign regardless of the size is not serious, the symptomatic ** can be.

Today, a CT was done to find out that there are tiny nodules in the lungs, is it serious?

A: My son 21, the day before yesterday I went for a physical examination and took a CT to report that there were small nodules, and then I asked a respiratory doctor, and the doctor said that it was okay and could absorb it by itself. But to be careful, you still listen to the doctor.

How serious are the multiple micronodules found in both lungs during the physical examination?

Answer: Multiple tiny nodules are found in both lungs, and this alone cannot determine what type of lung nodules the person belongs to, it can only tell us one information point, that is, the diameter of your lung nodules in both lungs is less than 5mm. As for whether it is solid or subsolid, whether it is pure ground-glass or other benign or malignant, it is not clear.

Of course, it is not even possible to say that this lung is found.

Is the 2mm nodule in the lungs serious?

A: Small lung nodules of 2mm are micronodules and are not serious. Pulmonary nodules are divided into three conditions: ground-glass nodules, partial solid nodules, and solid nodules, and the follow-up time is determined according to the size of the nodules, and pulmonary nodules less than 5mm are followed up once a year. Small lung nodules of 6-8mm were followed up once every 3 months; Pulmonary nodules larger than 8mm were followed up for 1 month.

If a growing nodule is present, just.

In the medical community, how harmful are the tiny nodules of the lungs?

Whether a tiny nodule in the lungs is serious or not depends on whether the nodule is malignant or benign. If the tiny nodule in the lungs is benign, this condition is usually not very serious, it may be due to inflammation, and no special action is required, but it needs to be checked regularly at the hospital.

There are tiny nodules in the lungs, which means nothing, and regular check-ups are fine.

Thickening of the left pleura, possibly from previous pleurisy, will show pleural thickening when it heals.

The hospital checks that there are tiny nodules in the lungs that are not serious, and this condition needs to be checked by the hospital regularly, and if you find that it has grown or worsened, it will be very serious.

If there are tiny nodules in the lungs at the time of the hospital examination, it is not serious, because the small nodules represent that you may have had a lung injury before and have healed, so there may be small nodules.

Tiny nodules in the lungs, to find out, are solid nodules, pure ground-glass opacities, or mixed ground-glass opacities. Also look at whether the nodule border is clear, whether there are lobulations, cavities, and whether there are blood vessels crossing.

Micronodules, below, 80% are benign and can be observed for a long time. However, local thickening of the pleura depends on whether it is caused by inflammation and whether there is traction.

CT report of small nodules in the lungs, do not be nervous, you can re-examine in three months, even if it is in situ, or, micro-infiltration, surgery can be **, no follow-up ** is required.

Don't worry too much, nodules are not cancer, there are benign and malignant, you need to check at any time, once the lesion is found, even surgery can be.

It's not a big problem, it may be that you had tuberculosis before this, so there will be a small nodule, it may be a calcification point, so don't worry about it not being serious.

Small nodules in the lungs, then it should be said that small nodules less than 5 mm, this kind of nodules are generally not a big problem, it may be calcification, fibrous foci, or it may be a very early tumor, you can recheck a lung CT in half a year, if there is no change, there should be no big problem.

Small lung nodules are not serious because pulmonary nodules can be caused by a variety of diseases, the most important consideration is malignancy of the lungs, but pulmonary nodules are pulmonary nodules, nodules within 5 mm in diameter, and such nodules are usually benign.

Small lung nodules are seen in inflammatory pseudotumors, tuberculobules, fungal infections, sclerosing pneumoblastoma, lung cancer, or metastatic lung cancer. A detailed examination should be done in the hospital, and percutaneous lung biopsy or percutaneous thoracoscopic biopsy should be done if necessary.

Normally, there are no nodules. Sometimes these nodules are diseased and may seriously affect the lymph. The carcinogenic rate will be high.

There are no nodules in the lungs of a normal person. Nodules in the lungs are caused by round, abnormal lesions in the lungs. Pulmonary nodules are an unknown symptom.

The larger the lung nodule, the more severe the condition. Fever, cough, sputum production, hemoptysis, and massive hemoptysis may occur, especially if pathologic biopsy confirms malignant lesions. Severe cases can be life-threatening, and the disease is more harmful to the body.

No. It will cause phlegm, it will also lead to a decrease in respiratory function, it will lead to heart damage and it will also lead to ** damage, there will be a lot of macules, and it will also lead to hair loss.

Many people will find lung nodules during physical examinations, so should they be paid attention to? What are some of the most frequently asked questions about lung nodules? Let's find out with me.

If the weather is not particularly hot, we will not have the problem of severe sweating when we sleep at night, but if there are nodules in the lungs, then this kind of sweating will occur. At this time, you must not take it lightly, and it is best to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, because severe sweating during sleep is an obvious sign of nodules in the lungs.

Frequent coughingEveryone knows that in a healthy state, we rarely have a cough, unless it is too urgent to drink water and eat, and the bronchial choking will cause coughing. If you have a recurrent cough, it means that the lungs have been damaged, and the lungs' self-protection mechanism is activated, and the cough will be repeated.

Infection: Lung infections should be considered the most common cause of pulmonary nodules and multiple small nodules. Both new infections and scarring from infections are important causes of lung nodules. Some fresh lung nodules, if caused by an infection, can sometimes be eliminated by fighting infection, but most lung nodules caused by infection are unlikely to be eliminated if they have been organized for a long time.

The lung organs of the body of a person with a color will mainly be reflected in the **. Therefore, when a person's lung function has nodules, the person's ** will also be affected, especially prone to dull complexionIn severe cases, the lips may even be black and purple.

If you can feel that your lungs are not in good condition, you need to have a detailed lung examination。In addition, we must first do a good job of lung maintenance, especially for people who like to smoke for a long time, the probability of lung problems is greater.

Chest tightness and shortness of breath because lung infection may lead to the appearance of pulmonary nodules, when the lungs are infected, people will have chest tightness and shortness of breath, and this phenomenon will be aggravated at night, which shows that pulmonary nodules are in the process of development, must not be ignored, need to be treated in time.
