Pleural adhesions are mostly the result of inflammation of the pleura, tuberculosis and chest injuries and in most cases are not self-healing. The pleura is composed of two layers of plasma membrane with a gap between them, which contains a small amount of fluid that acts as a lubricant and cushion. When fluid accumulates in the pleura due to inflammation or other reasons, the fibrin in it can attach to the pleura, causing it to thicken first and the two layers to adhere. Normally the body cannot effectively stop this process and it cannot repair itself. In early stages of the disease, when the lesions are mild, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken to control the disease. If it seriously affects lung function and causes severe symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, thoracoscopic pleurodesis and contouring can be considered, but surgical treatment is more painful and prone to the formation of new adhesions or calcifications. Chinese medicine is mainly used to regulate qi, promote blood circulation, relieve blood stasis, and disperse pain.
