Our team of expert pulmonologists is dedicated to diagnosing and managing a wide range of respiratory conditions. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical for developing effective treatment plans and improving patient outcomes. Below are some of the most common pulmonary diagnoses we encounter:
Asthma:
A chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by reversible airflow obstruction, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Effective management often includes inhaled medications and lifestyle adjustments.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
A progressive condition that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, leading to long-term breathing difficulties. Treatment typically focuses on symptom management, smoking cessation, and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Pneumonia:
An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and is treated with antibiotics, antiviral medications, or supportive care depending on the etiology.
Lung Cancer:
Lung cancer causes symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. We perform diagnostic procedures to diagnose lung cancer and palliative procedures like debulking of malignant obstruction and stent placement .
Lung Cancer Screening: Our lung nodule clinic conducts lung cancer screening of at-risk population, early detection of lung nodules, advanced bronchoscopy for diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment approach.
Pulmonary Fibrosis:
A condition characterized by the thickening and scarring of lung tissue, which leads to a gradual decline in lung function. While treatment options are limited, medications and supportive care can help manage symptoms and slow progression.
Pulmonary Embolism (PE):
A potentially life-threatening condition where one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot. Rapid diagnosis and treatment with anticoagulants are critical to prevent serious complications.
Bronchiectasis:
A chronic condition involving the permanent enlargement of parts of the airways, leading to frequent infections, coughing, and sputum production. Management focuses on airway clearance, infection control, and, when necessary, surgical intervention.
