I've found that a lot of people talk about ground glass nodules when they talk about discoloration. Today, I will summarize for you the most common misunderstandings of ground-glass nodules to help you better understand ground-glass nodules in the lungs.
First, ground-glass nodules are not the same as lung cancer, and most ground-glass nodules are mostly caused by inflammation.
Second, ground-glass nodules larger than eight millimeters require surgery, which is too absolute. Many ground-glass nodules caused by inflammation are also relatively large under the stimulation of inflammation, so they need anti-inflammatory**, and the nodules may shrink or even dissipate.
Thirdly, the more frequent and safer the re-examination of ground-glass nodules, which is also wrong, the first re-examination time for ground-glass nodules is recommended to be three months, and if the nodules have not changed, the time for nodule re-examination can be appropriately extended.
Fourth, I am too worried about changing to another hospital for examination, which I also do not recommend. It is best to fix the examination of the nodule in a hospital so that the doctor can compare the previous examination to determine whether the nodule has changed.
Fifth, CT is a random choice for follow-up, and low-dose CT examination is generally arranged at the time of the first physical examination. If a lung nodule is detected, it is recommended that a thin-slice CT be done during the follow-up.
