Patient's question:
I recently found out that I have inflammation. The doctor said that this condition might lead to changes. I am very worried about my condition. What are the basic local changes of inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Whatever the cause of inflammation, or where it appears in the body, the basic lesions in the inflamed area are generally degeneration, exudation, or hyperplasia. The differences in inflammation or the differences in stages of inflammation are just variations in the degree of these three changes. Generally, the early stage mainly involves degeneration or exudation, while the late stage mainly involves hyperplasia. Inflammation can lead to lesions, and under normal circumstances, the basic lesions are exudation, degeneration, and hyperplasia.
