Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What are the causes of silicosis calcification?Doctor's answer:
Silicosis fibrosis is generally caused by the re-deposition of dust and other substances in the lungs, leading to recurrent fibrotic fibrosis in the lungs. After fibrosis, calcium deposits may form again, resulting in pulmonary calcification symptoms. It typically affects the respiratory function of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, lung hardening, and increased expansion capacity. Generally, we need to enhance occupational protection. If re-exposure occurs in high-dust environments with industrial pollution, necessary protective measures should be taken.
