What causes blood in sputum from tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a very common disease and is highly contagious. Patients with tuberculosis must be isolated from their families. Generally, patients with tuberculosis will have blood in their sputum, but most tuberculosis patients are not clear about why there is blood in their sputum. So what is the reason for blood in tuberculosis sputum? The following introduces the reasons for blood in tuberculosis sputum.

Pulmonary tuberculosis patients experience hemoptysis because the lesions affect the permeability of the blood vessel walls or directly damage the blood vessels. If tuberculosis is not treated in time, it will bring more serious harm to the patient, such as infecting family members, affecting normal life and study, aggravating the disease and increasing the difficulty of treatment, and causing chest pain. Therefore, patients need timely treatment.

The blood in the sputum of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly caused by the rupture of capillaries near the lesions. Blood in sputum is one of the common hazards of tuberculosis. If tuberculosis is not treated in time, it will bring more serious hazards.

The harm of tuberculosis, patients need to pay attention

1. Infect family members: Since tuberculosis is highly contagious, if the patient is not treated in time or does not take isolation measures during the illness, it can easily be transmitted to family members and affect their health.

2. Impact on normal life: If tuberculosis is not treated in time, it will affect the patient's normal life and study, cause excessive psychological pressure on the patient, damage the patient's physical health, and even cause the patient to lose his ability to work.

2. Aggravation of the condition: If tuberculosis is not treated for a long time, it will lead to worsening of the condition, increase the difficulty and cost of treatment, and cause economic losses.

3. Causes chest pain: Once tuberculosis lesions spread to the pleura, especially the parietal pleura, it will cause chest pain or shoulder pain in patients.

4. Causes breathing difficulties: If tuberculosis is not treated in time, it will not only cause obstruction of lung respiratory function, but may also cause breathing difficulties, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

From the above, we can see that tuberculosis can not only cause blood in the patient's sputum, but also cause serious harm if not treated in time. Therefore, once you have tuberculosis, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time so that you can get early treatment and recovery.
