A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs and airways. Their work involves assessing patients with symptoms such as cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and abnormal chest imaging findings. They perform various diagnostic tests, such as pulmonary function tests, imaging studies like chest X-rays and CT scans, and bronchoscopy to examine the airways. Common conditions treated by pulmonologists include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, lung infections, and interstitial lung diseases. Causes of these conditions can range from environmental factors like smoking, air pollution, and occupational exposures to genetic predisposition and underlying medical conditions. Preventive measures to maintain respiratory health include avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke, minimizing exposure to air pollutants, practicing good hygiene to prevent respiratory infections, staying physically active, and seeking early medical attention for respiratory symptoms. Regular consultations with a pulmonologist can help manage respiratory conditions effectively and improve overall lung health.
