About Treatment

Pulmonary medicine, or pulmonology, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating respiratory system diseases, such as asthma, COPD, lung cancer, and pulmonary embolism. Pulmonologists use various diagnostic tests, including pulmonary function tests and imaging, to assess lung health and manage conditions. Treatment options may include medications, inhalers, oxygen therapy, and sometimes surgery. Pulmonologists work to improve patient outcomes through research and advanced therapies.
