Is left lung nodule important?

Whether small nodules in the left lung are important is related to the cause of the nodule, and should be analyzed based on the actual situation.

Small nodules in the left lung may be inflammatory nodules induced by pneumonia. Generally, as the inflammation subsides, the nodules can gradually shrink; It may also be caused by the inability of local tissues to fully absorb the lesions during the recovery process after suffering from tuberculosis. The above conditions generally do not matter. However, in addition to the above reasons, small nodules in the left lung may also be formed due to abnormal hyperplasia of normal lung tissue stimulated by cancer cells after suffering from lung cancer. At this time, it is more important, and even life-threatening in severe cases, and active treatment is needed.
