Pulmonary nodules are a multi-system and multi-organ granulomatous disease that has not yet been fully identified, and this disease is characterized by invasion of the lungs, bilateral hilar lymph nodes, eyes, ** and other organs. Among them, the chest invasion rate is as high as 80% to 90%, which shows that the harm of pulmonary nodules to the human body cannot be ignored.
A lung nodule found during a physical examination is not necessarily cancer, but may be an inflammatory or benign tumor or nodule.
The diameter of a pulmonary nodule is important for judging its pathological nature. In general, nodules less than 6 mm in diameter have a small risk of lung cancer; Nodules with a diameter of more than 6 mm and less than 8-10 mm can be examined and observed on an individual basis.
If the diameter of the nodule is greater than 10 mm, it needs to be taken seriously and further tests are needed to determine its pathological nature.
1.Occasional cough
The appearance of pulmonary nodules can lead to impaired function of multiple organs in the body, and early pulmonary nodules have no obvious signs or symptoms.
However, as the disease progresses, there will be occasional coughing, and if the cough is frequent and stubborn, it does not improve for a long time. Cough suppressants alone do not tend to improve, and this condition should be checked to determine whether there are local nodules.
Because the lung nodules will also affect the function of the lungs in the process of continuous development, local tissues will be disturbed, and the cough will be obvious due to inflammation.
2.Severe sweating while sleeping
If the weather is not particularly hot, we will not have the problem of severe sweating when we sleep at night, but if there are nodules in the lungs, then this kind of sweating will occur.
At this time, you must not take it lightly, and it is best to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, because severe sweating during sleep is an obvious sign of nodules in the lungs.
3.Chest tightness and shortness of breath
Pulmonary nodules continue to develop, and there are also co-infections. Some people have emphysema and bronchiectasis after the deterioration of pulmonary nodules, and the patient's health is threatened, and the disease is prone to be accompanied by chest tightness and shortness of breath. Warnings of decreased lung function should be prompted** to prevent the lesion from causing other adverse symptoms extensively.
4.Night sweats in your sleep
Menopausal women are prone to night sweats, mainly because of a large drop in estrogen in the body. Therefore, it creates insomnia and night sweats in women, which may also lead to lung nodules.
However, if you are in a healthy body, you will not experience night sweats after entering a deep sleep. If there is a nodule or night sweats, it may reflect that the body's lungs are infected, so you must pay attention to it in time.
5.Decreased appetite
According to clinical investigations, people with pulmonary nodules are more likely to have loss of appetite at night.
This is because the lungs are the most important organs of the human body, and once nodules appear, they will affect the secretion of yang energy in the body, and the lack of yang qi will lead to loss of appetite, indigestion and other problems.
Therefore, this kind of problem often occurs in life, and the body has become thin and not sluggish, so at this time, we should pay more attention to whether it is caused by lung nodules.
In fact, such a statement is not completely correct, Longhu Mountain Taoist health *** tips: from a medical point of view, garlic can have the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory.
The allicin in it has a corresponding resistance to external bacteria and viruses, which can enhance immunity and help improve some sub-health states of the body.
Therefore, as long as you eat garlic correctly and reasonably, you don't have to worry about the aggravation of lung nodules, and relevant studies have shown that the allicin in garlic can help increase the body's anti-inflammatory risk, so as to reduce the impact of pulmonary nodules.
1.Salty
For some patients with pulmonary nodules, if they do not want the nodules to become cancerous, they must pay attention to controlling the intake of salt in their lives, especially some pickled foods, and it is best to touch them less.
Because excessive salt intake, in addition to stimulating blood vessels to damage and lead to an increase in blood pressure, nitrite is also produced, which is also a strong carcinogen.
It will also increase the burden on the lungs, leading to the deterioration of lung nodules and affecting one's own health, so like this pickled food, try to eat as little as possible.
2.Spicy
For patients with pulmonary nodules, if they do not want the nodules to become cancerous, they must pay attention to reducing the intake of some spicy and stimulating foods in their lives. Because like some overly spicy foods, in addition to irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa, damage and induce gastrointestinal diseases.
In fact, it will also cause huge damage to the lungs, leading to the deterioration of pulmonary nodules and aggravating the occurrence of the disease.
1.Eat more foods that nourish the lungs
Usually, after the pulmonary nodule is detected, we should not only follow the doctor's instructions and take medicine on time, but also eat more foods that moisturize the lungs and nourish the lungs in our daily diet.
This kind of food can not only help us provide nutrients to the body, achieve the effect of moisturizing the lungs, but also clean up all kinds of garbage produced by the human lungs in time, which helps to loosen nodules.
2.Stick to aerobic exercise
Life lies in exercise", at present, countless scientific studies have proved that insisting on exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can not only reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, improve sleep, enhance the body's immunity, but also promote blood circulation, enhance human lung capacity and cardiopulmonary function, and then can prevent and improve lung nodules.
3.Stay hydrated
The lungs are a joyful and awesome drynessand if you want to moisten your lungs, the easiest way is to drink more water and replenish more water. Patients with pulmonary nodules can not only moisturize the lungs, but also speed up metabolism, promote blood circulation, and reduce the accumulation of toxins in the lungs and various organs.
It should be noted that the best time to replenish water for pulmonary nodules is warm water, rather than replacing water with various beverages, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.
The presence of lung nodules does not necessarily mean lung cancer, but this condition needs to be taken seriously. One of the 5 important signs of a lung nodule requires prompt medical attention for further evaluation and diagnosis.
Early diagnosis and ** is crucial to the success of lung cancer, so we should be vigilant, have regular medical check-ups, and take proactive action to protect our health and lives. When facing a lung nodule, it is wise to consult a doctor and perform the necessary tests.
