Increased texture in the lower part of both lungs

In daily life, many people suffer from respiratory diseases. When they go to the hospital for examination, the doctor will ask for X-rays. The condition of the lungs can be seen very clearly under the X-ray. Increased texture in the lower part of both lungs is a common phenomenon of lung changes. Of course, this is also a result of the examination. The doctor will judge what disease the patient has based on the specific situation.

There is no objective, quantifiable standard for whether the lung markings increase or not. It is related to the subject's own health status, photographic factors, and the personal experience of the diagnosing doctor. Secondly, there are many reasons for increased lung markings, which can be pathological, physiological or technical. Generally speaking, the isolated report of increased lung markings has little clinical value. Only by carefully analyzing the nature of the increased lung markings and combining it with other X-ray manifestations, clinical conditions and technical conditions can we draw a correct conclusion. In other words, increased lung markings without any clinical symptoms may be entirely physiological, that is, completely normal. If there are respiratory symptoms, consider bronchitis, etc., which requires anti-inflammatory treatment.

Classification of increased lung texture

Vascular

Vascular pulmonary markings are increased and the lung markings are coarse, maintaining the characteristics of blood vessels running from the hilum to the lungs, often accompanied by an enlarged heart, which is mainly seen in heart disease.

Lymphatic

Increased lymphocytic lung markings: The lung markings appear as fine reticular patterns in both lungs, which are commonly seen in pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

Smoking

Smoking-related increased lung markings show increased lung markings in both lungs, but normal movement, which is mainly caused by chronic bronchitis caused by long-term smoking.

Physiological

The physiological increase in bilateral lung texture is actually an illusion. It does not mean that the patient may have a disease like other types of increased texture. It is caused by the increase in age or excessive obesity, which leads to a richer lung texture and excess subcutaneous fat, presenting an illusion in the examination image and is common in the elderly or obese people.

Bronchial

Increased bronchial lung markings are manifested as uneven lung texture, often mixed with deformed texture and small honeycomb shadows, which are common in chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc.

Further examinations will be done based on the different types of increased lung texture, and then treatment will be targeted at the specific disease.

What to do if the lung texture increases

When the texture of both lungs increases, no matter which specific part of the body has a problem, it is necessary to nourish the lungs and regulate the function of the lungs so that the disease can be cured as soon as possible.

Clear the airways to cleanse the lungs

Many cities now have air pollution. People inhale large amounts of exhaust gas and haze, which causes problems with their bronchial tubes or lungs. Therefore, we should try to wear masks for protection outdoors, and remember to open windows for ventilation every day at home. If the air quality is too bad, you can also choose to place an air purifier.
