Does lung nodule 5mm need operation?

Lung nodules 5mm in size require surgery.

Lung nodules are nodular lesions in the lungs, usually associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis, hemangiomas, lung cancer, etc. If the nodule is benign after examination, surgery is usually not required. However, if the nodule is found to be malignant, surgery is required in time, and other clinical treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are required.

Patients should pay attention to bed rest after surgery and maintain adequate nutrition intake, such as eggs and milk, to promote physical recovery.
