Asbestosis Untreated, it Leads to Cancer

Asbestosis is a non-cancerous disease. It is a serious and harmful disease of lungs which is developed when asbestos fibers are inhaled and embedded in the inner tissues of the lungs. Asbestos fibers are tiny fibers which penetrate into one's body through the inhalation of asbestos dust. It is believed that asbestos cannot be harmful for one's health when it is undisturbed. But when materials made of asbestos are broken they turn into dust. The latter is inhaled by people and it becomes the cause of asbestosis and the main disseminator of it. This illness is identified through cancer diagnosis . This is a test which shows the amount of asbestos fibers in one's body. The test also helps to identify the level of the disease and stage of its diffusion but it can't help to predict how the disease will develop.

The symptoms of asbestosis are as follows:

Difficulties in breathing

Cough Pain in chest

Loss of appetite

Shortness of breath Asbestosis is non-cancerous.

But when asbestosis remains untreated and not under the control it can lead to serious consequences as cancer. In its early stages the illness can be cured and this feeling of hopelessness can be overcome. But if the illness remains untreated, the fibers affect the lungs and give rise to cancer of lungs-mesothelioma. Hence, it is advisable to take precautions that are asbestos test as soon as one notices one of these symptoms. This will give a chance to identify the illness in time and cure it and save your life that is really worth of straggling. To sum up I want to say that like any other illness when we do not treat it properly step by step it is becoming quite a serious illness which in its turn can bring to death.
