The etiology of pulmonary nodules turned out to be “it”
Beware of these changes
Nowadays, pulmonary nodules are It’s becoming more and more common, but many people can’t figure out why they have lung nodules, and they don’t know what to do. Hear what the experts have to say!
1 The high incidence of pulmonary nodules is mainly related to 3 factors.
①The general application of high-resolution CT in physical examination;
②The more environmental pollution Occupational protection is not in place;
③Increased work and life pressures lead to phlegm coagulation, qi stagnation, and blood stasis accumulation in the lungs. These three are both causes and pathological products.
2 pulmonary nodules≠lung cancer, but this kind of nodules has a high degree of malignancy
Many people think that lung cancer is not far away from lung cancer. In fact, pulmonary nodules are just a term used to describe lesions in medical imaging, referring to lesions with a diameter of less than 3 cm in the lungs.
A large number of studies have shown that more than 70% of lung nodules are benign, but some nodules can become cancer.
According to the different density, pulmonary nodules can be divided into three categories: solid nodules, ground glass nodules, mixed nodules, among which mixed nodules have the highest malignant probability, followed by ground glass nodules and solid nodules.
In addition, if the edge of the nodule is blurred, with burr or lobulation sign, vascular penetration sign, pleural traction sign, etc., the probability of malignancy will also increase, so don’t be careless.
3 I have pulmonary nodules, how often should I review?
For most patients with pulmonary nodules, doctors often order regular checkups, but how often?
For pulmonary nodules with low malignant tendency, CT scan should be repeated 3-6 months after the initial discovery. If there is no significant change, CT can be repeated at 9-12 months. Changes, annual regular physical examination follow-up on it. However, if the pulmonary nodule enlarges or changes significantly during the observation period, further intervention is required.
4 Treating nodules correctly to prevent malignant transformation
Many patients with small nodules or no changes in nodules are often easy to relax their vigilance, which is wrong.
If the body is accompanied by obvious visceral dysfunction, such as liver qi stagnation, blood stasis, lung spleen deficiency, phlegm stagnation, etc., it will promote the growth of nodules or malignant transformation. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the body through some means of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing or eliminating nodules.
Real case 1
A 32-year-old male patient was diagnosed with ground glass node in the lower lobe of the right lung in January this year. Nodes, about 14mm in diameter, with less clear borders and lighter density. After being treated by Director Li with the “Three Zang-Qi Yang Qi Method”, the pulmonary nodules disappeared in a re-examination in March this year.
How does Director Li treat pulmonary nodules? What are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pulmonary nodules? What should patients with pulmonary nodules pay attention to every day? Please pay attention to the micro live broadcast at 19:00 tonight, experts will explain in detail with the case.

3 major symptoms
may indicate upper body lung cancer
lung cancer is the cancer with the highest morbidity and mortality in my country People with long-term smoking or second-hand smoke, family history of lung cancer, and other lung diseases are all at high risk of lung cancer.
Lung cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but if the following symptoms appear, beware of lung cancer.
1Cough
It is mostly dry cough with no sputum or a small amount of white foamy sputum. Some long-term smokers or patients with chronic bronchitis may have changes in the nature of cough when they develop lung cancer, such as coughing Severe, more frequent, change in coughing sound, etc.
2 Hemoptysis
Tumor invasion and destruction of capillaries of bronchial mucosa or rupture of blood vessels in tumor tissue can lead to blood in sputum. , intermittently or repeatedly.
3Chest pain
When the tumor is located near the pleura, it is easy to produce irregular dull pain or dull pain. When the tumor directly invades the parietal pleura, the pain is sharp, needle-like and aggravated by breathing or coughing.

Pulmonary fibrosis seriously damages health
Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages
Among respiratory diseases, there is a high incidence and serious disease, that is pulmonary fibrosis. It develops to an advanced stage, which canSevere dyspnea may be complicated by infection, pulmonary hypertension, and respiratory failure. In the case of unexplained idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the median survival time is only about 2 to 3 years.
1Which symptoms may suggest pulmonary fibrosis?
The onset of the disease is often insidious, mainly manifested as dry cough and progressive dyspnea, which is more obvious after activities. In some patients, clubbed fingers/toes can be seen, and terminally ill patients may have hypoxic manifestations such as dizziness, purplish lips and nails, and limited mobility. It may be accompanied by non-specific systemic symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, weight loss, and fatigue.
2Traditional Chinese medicine individualized and precise treatment has more advantages
pulmonary fibrosis belongs to Chinese medicine “lung paralysis” and “lung atrophy” In the category, the etiology is nothing more than deficiency, phlegm, blood stasis, and poison.
Traditional Chinese medicine generally starts from the treatment of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing the lungs and spleen, and constantly adjusts the treatment plan according to the changes of the patient’s condition, reflecting individualized and precise treatment. This is the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of interstitial lung disease.
Real Case 2
Last year, there was a 55-year-old patient who often coughed and expectorated sputum. Pulmonary fibrosis was found in the examination. When he found Director Li, he was in very poor condition and had a persistent cough. There is also foamy phlegm, and even oxygen is needed to maintain it, and it will take a long time to breathe.
Director Li’s syndrome differentiation found that he was caused by both qi and yin injuries and deficiency of both spleen and kidney. After 3 months, the patient’s cough was relieved, asthma was relieved, phlegm was also reduced, and the whole person’s condition was much better. After adjusting the prescription for another 3 months, the patient has been able to walk two steps downstairs, and basically does not need oxygen or cough.
Director Li also instructed him to keep warm in changing seasons and avoid spicy food. As long as he pays more attention in his daily life, the possibility of recurrence is very small.
How to treat different stages of pulmonary fibrosis? What are the common methods of Director Li in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis? Please pay attention to the micro live broadcast at 19:00 tonight, experts will explain in detail with the case.

Nourishes the lungs, strengthens the spleen, and protects the kidneys
Three viscera harmonize to protect health
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human beings are a whole, It needs yin and yang balance and five internal organs to reconcile. The occurrence of pulmonary nodules or other respiratory diseases must be caused by the dysfunction of the body’s internal organs. Therefore, in order to regulate the body and avoid the deterioration of the disease or the growth of nodules, one should start from the whole, harmonize the three internal organs, and protect the body. Righteousness, invigorating the lungs, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the kidneys to eliminate diseases.
1 Nourishing the lungs
The lungs govern qi and regulate breathing. Respiratory diseases such as pulmonary nodules, interstitial pneumonia, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are all caused by the lungs. problem, so we must start from the root cause and take care of lung health.
2 Strengthening the spleen
The spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. The abnormal function of the spleen will lead to water-dampness and condensation For phlegm, the endogenous phlegm-dampness will lead to the production of many diseases, so it is also very important to regulate the function of the spleen and ensure the normal function of the spleen.
3 Protect the Kidney
The most common symptom of our respiratory system diseases is cough and asthma. For a long time, cough and wheeze.”
