After lung surgery, it is possible to develop fibrosis in the lungs if there is poor healing after surgery. Its incidence is relatively low if you actively cooperate with your doctor after surgery.
Postoperative pulmonary fibrosis is one of the sequelae of lung surgery. After pulmonary nodule resection, pulmonary herpetic resection and other postoperative procedures, if the lungs do not heal well enough, the interstitium of the lungs will secrete a large amount of collagen to promote the repair, and if the lungs are repaired excessively and a large amount of collagen is not absorbed efficiently, then the lungs may become fibrotic, which may show clinical symptoms such as dry cough, wheezing, chest tightness and so on.
It is worth noting that pulmonary fibrosis after lung surgery is generally rare, if the postoperative good living habits, dietary habits, to ensure adequate sleep, can be very good to promote the body’s postoperative recovery, the probability of postoperative pulmonary fibrosis will also be greatly reduced.
In conclusion, pulmonary fibrosis after lung surgery, should be timely to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
