WHAT IS MESOTHELIOMA?
Mesothelioma is rare cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, and exposure to even a single asbestos fiber is sufficient to cause mesothelioma. Mesothelioma affects mesothelium, which is a protective lining found around all the internal organs of the body. Due to inhalation of asbestos fibers during normal breathing, mesothelioma damages the pleura around the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing, such as shortness of breath. In rare cases, it can also affect the abdominal cavity and the surrounding area of the heart, leading to more health problems.

THE HISTORY OF MESOTHELIOMA
Asbestos is the name of natural minerals. In the 1960s and 1970s, many workers used asbestos in many different types of work. Some of the common occupations of asbestos exposure include shipbuilding, construction, and mining. Recently, individuals in employment such as planning and engineering may face the risk of exposure to asbestos when working in old buildings.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, asbestos exposure was considered an occupational health hazard. However, lack of understanding means that many employers do not have adequate safety measures to protect workers from mesothelioma and asbestos exposure. In addition to those exposed to asbestos at work, members of the workers' family may be at risk of developing asbestos-related cancers due to washing or handling of garments that are often coated with asbestos fibers and dust.
As a result of exposure to asbestos during the 1970s, mesothelioma cases are expected to rise in the coming years, especially after years of exposure.
SYMPTOMS OF MESOTHELIOMA
The symptoms of mesothelioma are often difficult to identify at an early stage because the injury becomes apparent after several years or decades. Here we have identified some of the significant symptoms that can be found to be associated with mesothelioma claims.
Pleural effusion: This is where the fluid builds up so that the lungs are involved in swelling. This can lead to respiratory damage and chest pain, which can then lead to reduced breathing and movement of the chest on the affected side.
Difficulty: also known as "air hunger," which is particularly shocking and tense for patients. Pleural effusion is the most common cause of this problem because breathing can become difficult and labor, which can lead to significant discomfort and anxiety.
A dry cough or wheezing: A persistent, hoarse cough accompanied by wheezing is a common side effect of pleural effusion and has fluid accumulation around the lungs. Coughing is usually not accompanied by any sputum, and it seems to have no productivity to the patient.
Fatigue and fatigue: limited lung function and tired breathing can cause the patient to fatigue and fatigue after any physical exertion.
Abdominal pain: This is the first symptom of patients with peritoneal mesothelioma often suffer. And then can follow the increase and tenderness of the abdomen, followed by fluid accumulation in the disease. This can lead to loss of appetite and subsequently result in weight loss.
If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms or have been exposed to asbestos, we recommend that you visit your local general practitioner and seek medical advice. They will be able to give you an appropriate diagnosis and provide the conditions for your treatment.
