This is a patient who came to me online to analyze nodules. He said, I found out the lung nodule, in order to make it have no chance of malignant transformation, just cut it directly, why didn't the doctor cut it for me, then I have other ways to treat it?If you also have such questions, today I will tell you the answer from 4 aspects.

For one thing, our lungs cannot be regenerated, and if we cut a little less, we lose a little bit of lung function.

Second, as long as the surgery is traumatic, even if it is minimally invasive, there will be risks if there is trauma. Therefore, if the nature of the nodule is not clear, it does not meet the surgical standards, and it is not necessary, the doctor will not blindly remove it for you.

Third, it is also necessary to consider whether the patient's nodules are related to physical deviations, especially friends with multiple nodules and multi-organ nodules, because many of my patients have suffered such losses, the large nodules have not been cut for a long time, the small nodules have grown again, and some patients have even grown new nodules. Most of them are because the constitution that is prone to nodules such as qi stagnation, phlegm dampness, and blood stasis has not been changed.

Fourth, we should give the nodule a time, but also give yourself a time, to follow up and observe the development and change of the nodule, and then make a comprehensive judgment by a professional doctor, even if it is not good, there is room for observation, and it will not be uncontrollable all of a sudden. What's more, most of them are benign. To put it bluntly, the role of our internal medicine doctors is to be able to pull everyone to pull a handful, and to stabilize it, first adjust the internal environment of the body, and adjust the physique that loves to grow nodules.

Don't jump to conclusions for yourself, the doctor knows in his heart, and if you find that your nodule is not very good, you won't let you wait if you want to wait. You can also join my fan base, and I will help you analyze and guide.
