[|Human|] Sir, I got my CT Scan with the result of Patchy paranchymal scars and fibrotic strands in both apices with bilateral mild apical plural thickening. ....is it curable. .....only asbestos is the cause unless other causes are there. ......is it treatable. .....kindly clear my doubts, please. ....
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry about it. If you are asymptomatic than no treatment is required. Scar tissue is nothing but fibrosis, and it is inactive. And it will remain as it is throughout the life. So no treatment is required if you are asymptomatic. And causes for your lesion are1. Old TB lesion2. Asbestosis3. Sillicosis4. Acidosis etc. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
