A fan left a message saying that the unit organized a physical examination some time ago, and the CT examination results showed that there was a fibrous calcification foci in the lower lobe of the left lung, and asked me if I needed **?
Pulmonary fibrous calcifications, which are commonly described in reports of CT of the lungs. Many people don't quite understand what fibrocalcifications mean, and some even think that it is a tumor. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. Fibrocalcifications are usually scars from a previous lung infection. The more common infection is pulmonary tuberculosis, and there are many patients with hidden tuberculosis who develop infections at a young age, and pulmonary fibrous calcifications appear after self-healing. It's like being cut with a knife and leaving a scar after the wound heals.
Fibrocalcifications in the lungs are usually irreversible, meaning that the lung tissue is no longer functioning properly. If the calcification is small, other lung tissues can play a compensatory role and have little effect on the body and lung function, but if the range is wide and the patient has other underlying lung diseases, it may lead to decreased lung function, dry cough, hypoxia, and dyspnea. Most of the fibrocalcifications caused by old tuberculosis are small and stable, do not widen, and generally do not affect lung function. However, try not to smoke, stay away from heavily polluted environments, have regular check-ups, exercise appropriately, and increase lung capacity. Strictly speaking, pulmonary fibrocalcification can not be called a disease, it is the result of the reconstruction of the lung injury site, is a manifestation of the healing of the lesion, and medication generally cannot eliminate it, and there is no need for **.
