As a result of the disturbance of normal ventilation of the lungs, as well as blood and lymphoid metabolism, a proliferation of connective tissue may occur, which is called pulmonary pneumosclerosis.
Symptoms of pulmonary pneumosclerosis
As a result of tissue proliferation, deformation of the bronchi occurs, as well as compaction and wrinkling of the lungs themselves. Over time, they decrease in size and become airless. In most cases, the disease can be virtually asymptomatic, and only a periodic failure of breathing manifests it. There are two forms of the disease:
- diffuse;
- focal.
Focal pneumosclerosis of the lungs has a limited form and is most often localized in one place. Its signs may be the expansion of the bronchi and wet rales, which are tapped in one place.
Diffusive pulmonary pneumosclerosis can be characterized by the following symptoms:
- labored breathing;
- cough with purulent discharge;
- cyanotic skin color due to lack of oxygen;
- weakness;
- dizziness;
- fast fatigue ;
- weight loss.
Diffusive pulmonary pneumosclerosis can have consequences and change their shape. For example, cysts can appear, the volume and structure of the organ itself decreases. Chronic insufficiency, emphysema of the lung, as well as a pulmonary heart with inflammatory diseases of the organ can develop.
How to treat pneumosclerosis of the lungs?
Treatment of pulmonary pneumosclerosis directly depends on the degree of difficulty of the course of the disease. In inflammatory processes, the following drugs are prescribed:
