اسبیسٹوسس ایک دائمی پھیپھڑوں کی بیماری ہے جو اس وقت پیدا ہوتی ہے جب اسبیسٹوس کے باریک ریشے سانس کے ذریعے جسم میں داخل ہو کر پھیپھڑوں میں پھنس جاتے ہیں۔ یہ ریشے پھیپھڑوں میں سوزش پیدا کرتے ہیں اور آہستہ آہستہ ٹشوز کو نقصان پہنچاتے ہیں۔ وقت کے ساتھ، اس سے سانس لینے میں دشواری، سینے میں درد، کھانسی اور مستقل کمزوری جیسی علامات ظاہر ہو سکتی ہیں۔

Asbestosis happens when fibers from asbestos get into the lungs and cause scarring. Asbestos is a toxic and carcinogenic mineral that is used in construction and manufacturing. Asbestosis meaning in Urdu, refers to a condition that causes difficult breathing due to asbestosis. Workers in construction, shipbuilding, or insulation jobs are most at risk. Its symptoms often appear after many years of exposure.
Look for these signs:
Breathlessness, especially on exertion
Dry cough
Chest tightness
Crackling sounds when breathing
The main cause is inhaling asbestos fibers. Common sources include:
Insulation work
Shipyards
Construction sites
Mining
You may be more at risk if you:
Worked with asbestos often
Lived or worked near mining or insulation sites
Smoke cigarettes
To reduce risk:
Wear protective masks and gear when exposed
Follow work safety rules
Avoid smoking
Doctors describe asbestosis in terms of exposure and progression
This is the early stage. Small areas of lung scarring appear. People may feel slightly out of breath during physical activity. It may not affect daily life much, but it's a sign that asbestos damage has started.
It is the moderate stage of where scarring spreads in the lungs. This stage causes difficult breathing, especially during walking or climbing stairs. A dry cough may develop. People may feel tired more often due to lower oxygen intake.
In this stage, the lungs have widespread scarring. Breathing becomes very hard, even at rest. The person may need oxygen support due to low oxygen levels. Common signs of this condition are chest pain, clubbing of fingers, and ongoing fatigue.
Doctors diagnose asbestosis by:
Asking about asbestos exposure
Listening to lungs with a stethoscope
Chest X‑ray or CT scan to see scarring
Treatment focuses on easing symptoms:
Oxygen therapy to help breathing
Medicines to open airways or treat infections
Pulmonary rehabilitation for exercise and breathing
Vaccinations to prevent lung infections
If left untreated, it may lead to:
Lung cancer or mesothelioma
Pulmonary hypertension
