What do the symptoms of pulmonary nodules mean?

Pulmonary nodule is a common abnormal examination of the lung, which refers to a round or oval nodule with a lung smaller than 3 cm. Sometimes these nodules may be caused by benign factors and sometimes they may be malignant. Therefore, it is very important to know the symptoms of pulmonary nodules, so as to find the lesions early and formulate corresponding treatment measures to ensure health.

First of all, pulmonary nodules usually do not cause special symptoms, so in the early detection process, many patients may not have any special feelings or discomfort, but need to be diagnosed by X-ray, CT and other inspection methods. It should be noted that if the nodule is large or large, there may be slight chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms, and there is no obvious manifestation, so you should seek medical attention in time.

Secondly, the symptoms of pulmonary nodules vary with the nature of the nodules. Benign pulmonary nodules are usually monitored by observation. As time goes by, nodules will not grow in time or produce other uncomfortable symptoms, and the risk of malignant pulmonary nodules will be greater. At this time, there may be a series of uncomfortable reactions such as cough, dyspnea, shortness of breath and chest pain.

For some high-risk groups, such as smokers, overworked people, people who have been exposed to second-hand smoke for a long time, and those who have been exposed to radioactive substances, special attention should be paid to the symptoms of pulmonary nodules. At this time, the signs are obvious, coughing repeatedly, blood in the sputum, and coughing continuously. If these reactions occur, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible for further examination and treatment.
