What is Pulmonology? Pulmonology, also known as respiratory medicine, is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health of the respiratory system. This includes the lungs, airways, and all parts of the body involved in breathing. Our specialists are equipped to handle a wide array of respiratory conditions and are committed to providing the highest level of personalized care.
Symptoms to Watch For
If you are experiencing persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, recurrent chest infections, or unexplained fatigue, you might need to seek help from a pulmonologist.
Conditions We Treat
Our pulmonologists are experienced in diagnosing and managing various respiratory diseases such as:
- Asthma: A chronic condition characterized by inflamed airways, causing difficulty in breathing.
- Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A chronic inflammatory lung disease causing obstructed airflow from the lungs.
- Pulmonary Embolism: A sudden blockage in a lung artery, typically due to a blood clot that travels to the lungs from the legs.
- Tuberculosis (TB): A potentially serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Our Pulmonary Diagnostic Process
At Duna Medical Center, we employ an array of diagnostic tests and procedures to accurately diagnose and manage your lung conditions. This may include a physical exam, imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans, lung function tests, and in some cases, biopsies.
