What to do about fibrosis and calcification in tuberculosis

As long as TB fibrosis and calcification do not affect lung function, they usually do not need special treatment. However, if the fibrosis and calcification lesions are large and seriously affect lung function, they can be evaluated by a physician and then surgically removed. Fibrosis and calcification of tuberculosis is a sign that tuberculosis tends to be cured, and belongs to the old lesions left after the cure of tuberculosis, which usually has no obvious effect on the organism itself, and only requires follow-up observation, without special treatment. Tuberculosis fibrosis refers to the foci of tuberculosis patients gradually surrounded by fibrous proliferative tissue, while tuberculosis calcification is due to the deposition of calcium and phosphorus in the tuberculosis foci and the formation of calcification. Both are pathological phenomena of TB improvement and generally require no treatment, but if the lesions of fibrosis and calcification are large and seriously affect lung function, surgical resection of the lesions should be considered. To summarize, if the patient has no obvious discomfort symptoms, generally no special treatment is needed, and regular review is sufficient. If obvious symptoms appear, they should go to the hospital in time for treatment.
