Xiao Yangbao, deputy chief physician of the Endoscopic Center of Hunan Provincial Chest Hospital, said that there will be some concerns about general patients before doing fiber mirror examinations. If you ask if you ask the examination, it will hurt the lungs? In fact, there is no need to worry about this. There are two main purposes for doing fiber mirror operations: diagnosis and treatment.

If a lung tissue is required during diagnosis, there may be complications such as local bleeding or postoperative pneumothorax, but these risks can be controlled. During treatment, if the lesion parts occur in the lungs, doctors may damage local tissue during the treatment operation, and may occur like bleeding and infection.

Under normal circumstances, the incidence of complications of fibrous mirror is very low, and doctors will choose the appropriate treatment method according to the patient's situation to avoid or reduce damage to the patient. So in the process of fibromoscopy, don't worry about this problem.
