Is there a relationship between pulmonary nodules and smoking? Do you smoke regularly and have pulmo

There is also a relationship between pulmonary nodules and smoking, most of the pulmonary nodules belong to old lesions, which may be left over from previous pneumonia, inflammation absorption and organization, chronic inflammation caused by smoking, or exposure to dust and haze in daily life or work. It is best to quit smoking if you have small lung nodules, and you should pay attention to wearing a mask when you go out or work.

There is no necessary link between smoking and lung nodules. It is mainly caused by individual factors.

Smokers are prone to nodules in their lungs and lesions in other lungs.

Regular smoking is not good for your health, and even worse for your lungs, so that your lung capacity will decrease, and your body will be much worse than not smoking.

Tuberculosis is related to smoking, which can reduce lung function. Pulmonary tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infecting the human body, which destroys the mucosal barrier of the respiratory tract, reduces the ability to resist pathogens, and is more susceptible to the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which leads to the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis.

People with tuberculosis must quit smoking, and if they continue to smoke, it will worsen the damage to the lung tissue and make it difficult to heal. Because the chemicals in tobacco will destroy the villous components on the mucosa of the respiratory tract, so that the secretion of mucus increases, which can easily lead to infectious diseases in the lungs, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Tobacco contains a lot of nicotine and other harmful substances, and smoking can increase the load on the lungs, aggravate the disease, and there may be a lack of oxygen supply.

People with tuberculosis already have lung lesions, so smoking can make the disease worse.

Therefore, it is best for patients to quit smoking during the ** period, so as not to affect the ** effect. It is also best not to smoke after the end of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy to avoid inducing the disease**.

Pulmonary nodules should not have much to do with smoking, because the cause of pulmonary nodules is also unknown, but we usually have to pay attention to it, health care is to go to bed early and get up early, pay attention to nutrition and rest.

The lungs are the organs of breathing, and smoking can inhale smoke into the lungs, which can cause damage to the lungs, so lung nodules may be related to smoking.

1. Lung infection: common sources of infection include bacteria and fungi, and long-term infection will cause certain damage to lung tissue and cause pulmonary nodules. Patients can use penicillin, oseltamivir and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner**, and the condition can be effectively relieved within a few weeks.

2. Pulmonary tuberculosis: It is mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lungs, which can lead to granulation tissue proliferation in the lungs and the formation of pulmonary nodules. Patients with mild symptoms can use drugs such as rifampicin and ethambutol under the guidance of a doctor**; For patients with more severe disease, surgical resection is required in time.

3. Tumors: such as fibroids, small cell lung cancer, etc., due to their relatively small size in the early stage, they will also form small lung nodules. Since the disease is still in the early stage, patients who have not metastased should be removed by surgery in time, and after surgery, the attending doctor needs to decide whether to use radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatment according to the nature of the tumor**.

Pulmonary nodules are descriptive terms on lung imaging, most of them are diagnosed by CT of the lungs, generally speaking, those larger than three centimeters are called masses, and those smaller than three centimeters are called nodules, and nodules can also be divided into, small nodules and small nodules. Most small nodules are benign lesions. The occurrence of nodules is related to a variety of factors, such as the surrounding environment, the environment of smoke, and the bad habits of the individual, such as smoking.

It is recommended to avoid smoking, avoid contact with dust, if the size of the nodule directly becomes larger in a short period of time, the morphology changes, burr signs, lobulation signs, needle biopsy needs to be recommended to clarify the nature, and further follow-up observation in the respiratory clinic.

Pulmonary nodules are related to long-term smoking, because long-term smoking can easily cause damage to various systems of the patient's body. However, at present, the specific ** of pulmonary sarcoidosis is not very clear, and it is considered to be related to the patient's long-term exposure to polluted environment and the patient's poor living habits. It is recommended to go to the respiratory medicine department of a regular hospital in a timely manner.

In general, smoking can cause pulmonary nodules, but pulmonary nodules are not necessarily caused by smoking. The specific situation is still to go to a regular hospital for examination** and follow the doctor's instructions. Thank you.
