Lung ground glass nodules without change for 3 years can be observed and regularly reviewed if there are no uncomfortable symptoms. If the nodules cause chest pain and other discomforts, medication or surgery is needed.
1. Observation and regular review: Ground glass nodules in the lungs may be due to inflammation, tumor and other factors. Generally, the ground-glass nodules caused by inflammation are mostly calcified, so they can be treated ineffectively; for the lung ground-glass nodules of tumor nature with no change in 3 years, they can be observed and rechecked regularly.
2. Drug treatment: if the nodule causes chest pain symptoms, it may be related to the stimulation of inflammation around the nodule or the lesion of the nodule, and it can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as Celecoxib. However, the medication should be guided by the doctor after diagnosis.
3. Surgical treatment: for pulmonary ground glass nodules for 3 years without change, if there are clinical symptoms, or should consider surgical resection, to avoid malignant degeneration of the nodule later.
If there is no change in the pulmonary ground glass nodule for 3 years, you can go to the hospital and consult a professional doctor.
