Pulmonary nodules [super words] Life Ferryman Chongqing Headlines Health Science Contest I don't remember**I saw a sentence, I was very touched: Mo Dao's floating clouds will eventually cover the sun, and there will always be a time when the clouds open and the fog disperses. It means that we will always encounter all kinds of "unfair fate" in our lives, and we will always encounter all kinds of "ups and downs". We don't need to be anxious, we don't need to panic, we don't need to rush to seek the seemingly lofty "result", but we need to keep our hearts and wait for the truth to come.
Sometimes when you go to a different place in the local area, you will receive many different diagnoses, and they vary greatly, some will ask you to have surgery as soon as possible**, and some will let you continue to follow up, which is always overwhelming. In fact, due to different experiences and ideas, it is normal to have differences in judgment, but for us, we need to keep a calm heart.
It seems that today, a friend from Hebei, a 7mm solid nodule did not change in size and position during the long-term follow-up, but was suddenly asked to be removed after PETCT examinationIn the subsequent review process, I got different types of answers, which really made people wonder what to do. In fact, at this time, we can wait and see how the situation changes in the next reviewOr come and ask me, I'm sure I can give an accurate diagnosis.
Thank you for the trust of this friend, and leave the safety of my mother and myself to my judgment. Mom's nodules are fine, and so are you. This solid nodule has not changed in size for so long, and it is obviously benign and does not require further in-depth examination. With peace of mind follow-up, you can completely let go without change for five years, and the future will be safe.
The following ** network consultation for making friends:
Hello Director Dai!In March 2022, my mother accidentally found a large solid nodule and a small mixed grinding, and asked you for help, you judged that the problem was not big, and after taking half a month of Baifule and a month of Prunella vulgaris oral liquid, it was rechecked three months later, and there was a high probability that it would disappear. Three months later, the CT was rechecked, and sure enough, the two nodules were gone, and I also posted a special post in the bar to report the good news.
I am a 35-year-old daughter. The pulmonary nodules that have been followed up this year have doubts, and I come to ask you again under anxiety, and I hope that Director Chrysostom Yuyan will guide you on how to choose next: This nodule was found in the physical examination in September 2021, and the report at that time reported a 7*4mm solid nodule in the lower lobe of the left lung, only the report did not have an electronic image. In March 2022, I took a CT scan for the first time in a local tertiary hospital and kept an electronic image, and the hospital report wrote that it was a 7*5mm solid nodule, which was classified as three categories. Since then, regular follow-up visits have not been reported by local hospitals (sometimes 7*4 in size, sometimes 7*5).
On November 29 this year, I went to take a CT again, and there was nothing special written on the report, but when I went to the local thoracic surgery department to see the film, the doctor pointed out to me, saying that there was pleural traction, and the internal density was uneven, so it was recommended that I undergo PETCT after excision, and the popular science I saw before said that the sensitivity of PET for solid nodules below 1cm was not high, so I did not make an appointment to check at that time, and I went to ask the radiology department where the CT was taken, and the radiologist gave the reply: there is nothing worth paying special attention to, and it is up to you whether to do PET. Then I found other doctors, some said that they did not do PET and directly opened the pathology, and some said that it was a wrong tumor and did not need to be followed up regularly, I am very confused now, so I came to you again to ask for help, I believe in the accurate judgment of Director Dai.
Ask Director Dai for help to see, the size of this nodule has not changed, but let me do PET, which nature is it more inclined to?What should I do next?Thank you very much Director Dai!
It was first detected in September 2021 at a medical examination center.
In March 2022, he was re-examined at a local hospital and an electronic image was retained for the first time.
May 2022 to June 2023 report.
Review report on November 29, 2023 (this time).

My reply: Obviously benign, no need for further investigation. Peace of mind follow-up, once a year, follow-up for 5 years.
