Treatment of tuberculosis

As the name suggests, pulmonary tuberculoma is combined with tuberculoma. In fact, it belongs to the late stage of pulmonary tuberculosis. If pulmonary tuberculosis is discovered early and treated properly, it can be cured. In the late stage, the patient's condition will become more and more serious, and ordinary treatment may not be effective, thus forming tuberculoma. So how to treat pulmonary tuberculoma? The following is a detailed introduction

Tuberculoma: (also known as tuberculoma). It is usually a single spherical lesion with a diameter of more than 2 cm, formed by fibrous tissue surrounding caseous tuberculosis lesions or obstructive cavities filled with caseous material. It is round, oval or lobed, and is mostly located in the upper lobe of the lung. It usually appears as a spherical block shadow with clear outlines and uneven density. It may contain calcification foci or translucent areas, and there may be scattered fibroproliferative lesions around it, which are often called "satellite foci." It is a relatively stable lesion that can remain dormant for a long time, but when the body's resistance is reduced, the lesion may worsen and progress.

Tuberculoma is a type of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis in adults. It is a round or oval caseous lesion with a fibrous capsule and a diameter of more than 1.5 cm. Usually asymptomatic. Its volume may remain unchanged for a long time, and when the body's resistance is low, it may disseminate to form disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis or liquefy and cough up to form cavities.

Treatment options

In terms of treatment, non-surgical treatment is basically the same as for tuberculosis. The difference is that tuberculosis nodules larger than 3 cm can be completely removed through surgery. Both tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis are currently curable. After recovery, you should rest for a period of time (because tuberculosis is a wasting disease). When your physical condition improves, you can have children. It will not have any impact.
