Is pneumoconiosis serious in the first stage

summary

My friend's father has been working in the cement plant. After retirement, he had chest tightness and cough. Later, he had pneumoconiosis stage I. So, is pneumoconiosis stage I serious? Let's talk about it.

Is pneumoconiosis serious in the first stage

First, the name of pneumoconiosis is pneumoconiosis, which is a systemic disease caused by long-term inhalation of productive dust (dust) and occupation in the lungs and diffuse fibrosis (* cicatricial) in the lung tissue. Pneumoconiosis can be divided into inorganic pneumoconiosis and organic pneumoconiosis according to the types of dust inhaled. Pneumoconiosis caused by inhaling inorganic dust in production is called inorganic pneumoconiosis. Most of pneumoconiosis is inorganic pneumoconiosis. Pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of organic dust is called organic pneumoconiosis, such as cotton pneumoconiosis, farmer's lung, etc.

Secondly, the main causes of pneumoconiosis are as follows: 1. There are few pure quartz dust in the productive environment, usually a variety of dust, so the combined effect of mixed dust should be considered. 2. Individual factors and health status of workers also play a role in the occurrence of pneumoconiosis. 3. The higher the content of free silica in dust, the shorter the onset time and the more serious the lesion. 4. The degree of silicosis is related to the accumulation of dust in the lung, which mainly depends on the concentration and dispersion of dust, the time of dust exposure and protective measures. The higher the dust concentration is, the greater the dispersion is, the longer the dust exposure time is, the worse the protective measures are, the greater the amount of dust inhaled and accumulated in the lung is, the more prone silicosis is, and the more serious the disease is.

Finally, pneumoconiosis is divided into eight stages from imaging, with stage III + being the most serious, and stage I being the lightest and not serious. However, once pneumoconiosis is formed, it is irreversible. From this point, it is also more serious. Pneumoconiosis is an occupational disease. When abnormal conditions occur, it is necessary to go to the regular hospital for examination in time, and it is also necessary to carry out reasonable examination according to one's own condition The treatment of the disease.

matters needing attention

Pneumoconiosis patients should be checked and treated in time after the occurrence of the situation, and they should pay attention to the prevention at ordinary times, especially when they work, they should take protective measures, and they should also be checked regularly.
