Diffuse pneumosclerosis and methods of its treatment

Pneumosclerosis is a disease in which the connective tissue is formed in the lungs. This leads to deformation of the bronchi, tightening and wrinkling of the lungs, which become airless, dense and diminish in size. There may be pneumosclerosis at any age, and this disease is more common in the male half. Consider diffuse pneumosclerosis and methods of its treatment.

How is the diagnosis of

Diffuse pneumosclerosis can be asymptomatic, manifested by minor malfunctions of breathing. To accurately determine the diagnosis, an X-ray is performed. It allows you to detect changes in the lung tissue, determine the degree of development of the disease. Also can use tomography for more detailed study of affected areas.

pneumosclerosis is manifested. Diffuse pneumosclerosis is a sign of dyspnea, which can be accompanied by a dry, frequent cough. Dyspnea occurs in the first stages of pneumosclerosis only because of physical exertion. But progressing, manifests itself in a state of rest. With pneumosclerosis, fatigue, general weakness, and chest pain are possible.

Changes in the lungs lead to emphysema, the development of pulmonary insufficiency, and then the pulmonary heart. Because of the violation of metabolic processes in the bronchi often there are inflammations, resulting in patients suffering from cough with phlegm. When stasis sputum, exacerbations occur and pneumosclerosis can turn into chronic pneumonia with the development of bronchiectasis.

Because of the reduced elasticity of the lungs, it becomes difficult for patients to breathe in. A lack of oxygen leads to another sign of diffuse pneumosclerosis - cyanosis of the skin( cyanosis).

Pneumosclerosis is also local( limited).Local pneumosclerosis may not appear for a long time, it is detected only after X-ray examination.

If pneumosclerosis has grown into chronic, it accompanies the patient to the end of life. The fact is that the damaged part of the lung is no longer being restored. And the more connective tissue replaces the pulmonary, the heavier the disease occurs in the patient.

What causes diffuse pneumosclerosis

Pneumosclerosis can provoke such diseases as pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, syphilis. To the development of pneumosclerosis and lead to injury to the chest, the inhalation of toxic agents.

Often, pneumosclerosis develops in those who abuse alcohol. Long-term smoking also causes chronic bronchitis and pneumosclerosis.

How to treat

Methods for treating diffuse pneumosclerosis are directed mainly to treating those diseases that caused it. This can be as a drug treatment, and using recipes of traditional medicine.

To improve bronchial patency, doctors prescribe fluid thinning sputum and expectorants. Also, with shortness of breath, bronchospasmolytic agents help. If insufficient blood circulation - cardiac glycosides. From the expressed allergic manifestations - glucocorticoids. If you are concerned about frequent pneumonia, bronchitis, then doctors are carrying out antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapies.

In addition to drug treatment, diffuse pneumosclerosis is "afraid" of exercise therapy. It is useful to carry out oxygen therapy, physiotherapy and chest massage. Significantly improves the patient's regular tempering. We must give up smoking, alcohol.

Surgical treatment is prescribed with limited pneumosclerosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and in case of suppuration. Surgeons remove the affected areas of the lung.

Traditional medicine against diffuse pneumosclerosis

• 200 g of nettle pour 0, 5 liters of vodka, we tie gauze on top of the vessel. We insist means in a bright place 1 day, then in dark 6 days. Filter and squeeze. Tincture is taken 2 times a day on an empty stomach for 1 tea. Spoon before meals( for 30 minutes) and at night. A remedy is taken until the tincture is completely consumed.
• It is very useful to eat beets, as it contains many vitamins and mineral salts( potassium, magnesium, iodine).
• Because pneumosclerosis often causes pneumonia and bronchitis, they must be cured. Against bronchitis is effective the following recipe: in 1 glass of milk we add 1 table. Spoon of sage and keep it until it boils over low heat. Then the broth is stoned and filtered. Again, bring to a boil. They drink hot water before going to bed.

Take the drug 3 times a day for 1 table. Spoon. Before use, the mixture must be shaken.

Prevention of diffuse pneumosclerosis

To prevent the development of pneumosclerosis, you must avoid acute diseases of the respiratory system, promptly treat colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, pulmonary tuberculosis.

It is important to contact as little as possible with harmful gases, dust, soot, moisture, radiation, toxic substances. In mines, as well as in the areas where grinders work, carvers on glass, there must necessarily be effective ventilation. It is necessary to use respirators. At the first signs of the disease, you urgently need to move to another job, where you do not have to inhale harmful substances.

Against diffuse sclerosis, treatment and prevention methods have long been developed. It remains only to strictly adhere to the recommendations of doctors and do not run the disease to chronic form.
