Health Science Popularization Let's Have Some Dry Goods Pulmonary Nodules [Super Talk] Chongqing Dai Jigang Before starting, answer a question, that is, ground-glass nodules have not changed, do you think it is not good? No, the answer is no.
Changes in ground-glass nodules can be divided into several dimensions, namely size, doubling period, density, and other high-risk factors. After the ground-glass nodules are found, anti-inflammatory and follow-up treatment are carried out, and a preliminary judgment is made according to the results of the follow-up. Then, during the follow-up process, the size, doubling period, and density were observed and recorded, and if there were changes in these three, it would indicate that the ground-glass nodule was still gradually developing. If other high-risk factors are added, then it means that we need to pay close attention to this nodule, even elective treatment.
On the contrary, if the size of the nodule does not change during the follow-up process, the density does not change at all (it has always been in a pure grinding state), and there are no new other conditions, then we can follow up with confidence and boldness, which indicates that the nodule belongs to a very stable state, and may even remain in such a benign state for the next ten years.
In the case of today's counselor, a pulmonary nodule was found two years ago, and during the follow-up, there was no change in the size of the nodule and no other high-risk factors. Due to the dangerous nature of the work he is engaged in, coupled with the interference of some incorrect information on the Internet, the breadwinner of the family is very nervous, worried that his health will affect the happiness of the family.
I can tell you with certainty that you can rest assured that this nodule is definitely benign from the existing ** and your previous follow-up results, and it doesn't matter if it is re-examined in the future.
The following ** network consultation for making friends:
Dear Director Dai: Hello!
I have heard your name many times and have been impressed by your excellence in the field of medicine. I am a 33-year-old man from Changsha, Hunan Province, and a father of two lovely children. As the breadwinner of my family, I feel a great responsibility.
Two years ago, I discovered that I had nodules in my lungs, and since I work as a welder, I have been following up for observation. I have two ground-glass lung nodular shadows on my lungs, 7mmx3mm and 7mmx6mm. The advice of the local doctor was to continue the follow-up observation, but I came across a message that the ground glass did not change and it could mean a bad situation, which made me very uneasy.
Here, I sincerely ask Director Dai to guide me. I know that you are an authoritative expert in the field of medicine, and your expertise and experience can bring me great help and confidence. I am eager to better face my condition and make the right decisions under your guidance. I am confident that your guidance and support will bring me new hope and vitality.
Once again, I would like to express my respect and gratitude to you, and look forward to your reply, thank you!
My reply: Obviously benign, hypertrophic state, it doesn't matter if it's re-examined or not.
