What symptom does adhesion of thoracic cavity have

summary

Due to the current living and working environment, now many office workers are sitting in front of the computer every day, it is easy to cause pleural adhesion, pleural adhesion refers to two layers of pleural adhesion. It is caused by tuberculosis, pleurisy and chest injury. Because the pleural cavity of patients with this kind of injury often has exudative effusion. Once the fibrin in the effusion settles on the pleura, it can lead to pleural thickening, pleural thickening and adhesion. Pleural adhesion is a persistent disease, which should be prevented. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs or surgery were used for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and dredging collaterals, dispersing knots and relieving pain. Let's share some experience.

What symptom does adhesion of thoracic cavity have

First: hemothorax (hemothorax), usually caused by chest injury. Empyema (empyema) in the chest can be caused by pneumonia or pulmonary abscess spreading to the chest.

Second, chylothorax is caused by damage of the main lymphatic vessels (thoracic duct) or obstruction of the duct by tumor. Paragonimiasis, lung infiltration, cyst nodules and induration shadow, but also found pleural adhesion thickening; pneumonia pseudotumor chest X-ray and CT scan, a few can also have pleural adhesion shadow.

Third: in the late stage of silicosis, due to the contraction, traction and adhesion of lung fibrous tissue, the diaphragms can present "tentorial" image, and pleural adhesion at the bottom of lung can be seen. The accumulation of hypercholesterolemic fluid in the pleural cavity occurs in some chronic pleural effusion, such as tuberculosis or rheumatoid arthritis (more than half of autopsy patients have adhesive pleurisy, which is common in severe advanced patients).

matters needing attention

Pleural thickening is first caused by pleurisy. There are two kinds of pleurisy, one is dry pleurisy (without pleural effusion), the other is exudative pleurisy (with pleural effusion). Pleural hypertrophy is mainly due to the second kind of pleurisy. Because the pleural effusion was not found and treated in time, the pleural effusion stayed in the pleural cavity for a long time. The pleural effusion stimulated the pleura, and there was fibrin in the pleural effusion attached to the chest wall, so the pleura proliferated and thickened.
