Many people may not be familiar with the symptom of increased lung texture, or even very unfamiliar with it. It mainly requires a detailed examination in the hospital to be diagnosed, otherwise it is impossible to see it visually.

What is the reason for the increase in the texture of the woman's lungs?

There are many reasons for increased lung markings, which can be physiological, physical or professional. Generally speaking, the independent report of increased lung markings is of little value for clinical use. Only by carefully analyzing the characteristics of increased lung markings and comprehensively considering them in combination with other X-ray manifestations, clinical conditions and technical standards can appropriate results be obtained. Regardless of the reasons for the increase in lung texture, good health treatment and traditional Chinese medicine therapy are required.

The main reasons for the increase, enlargement and thickening of the lung texture are as follows.

1. Increased vascular lung markings: The lung markings are thick, and the blood vessels run from the lungs to the lungs. They are often accompanied by manifestations of heart enlargement, and are mainly common in rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc.

2. Increased lymphadenopathy: The lung markings appear as slender reticular structures in both lungs, which are often seen in pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

3. Increased lung texture caused by smoking: The lung texture is increased, but the shape is normal. It is mainly caused by carbon monoxide poisoning caused by long-term smoking.

4. Physiological increase in lung texture: mainly common in the elderly and obese people. The former is because the lung interstitium of the elderly is relatively rich, which results in increased lung texture on X-ray lung CT; the latter is because the examinee is obese and has increased body fat, which leads to increased X-ray absorption, thus causing the illusion of increased lung texture on lung CT.

5. Increased bronchitis-related lung markings: The main manifestation is uneven size of lung markings, which are often mixed with deformed patterns and small honeycomb shadows, and are more common in chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc.

The above article explains the causes and classifications of increased lung texture. Most patients should not drink alcohol or smoke after learning of this situation, as it is very bad for the development of the disease. Their daily life should be quite regular.
