Respiratory Medicine
Respiratory Medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system. This field addresses conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer. Specialists in this area, known as pulmonologists, use various tests and imaging techniques to assess lung function and identify issues.
In addition to treatment, Respiratory Medicine emphasizes prevention and management of respiratory diseases. This includes educating patients about risk factors, such as smoking and air pollution, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. Effective management can significantly improve patients' quality of life and overall health.
