What is Pulmonary Medicine?
Pulmonary Medicine is the branch of medicine that focuses on the lungs and respiratory system. It involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases affecting the airways and lung tissues. Pulmonary specialists manage both acute and chronic conditions such as infections, asthma, COPD, interstitial lung diseases, and lung cancers. Patients often consult a pulmonologist for persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or unexplained lung abnormalities.

Procedure / Approach
Management in Pulmonary Medicine involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies (X-ray, CT scans), pulmonary function tests, and interventional procedures such as bronchoscopy. Treatments may include medications, inhalers, oxygen therapy, lifestyle modifications, and rehabilitation programs. Dr. Nikhil Modi ensures a personalised approach, adapting treatment plans according to each patient’s needs.

Why it Happens / How to Manage
Respiratory illnesses may result from infections, smoking, environmental exposure, genetics, or chronic conditions. Management includes early diagnosis, lifestyle adjustments, adherence to treatment, and preventive measures like vaccinations. Regular monitoring and patient education help maintain lung health and prevent complications. Dr. Modi emphasises holistic care to ensure patients achieve optimal respiratory wellness.
