Pulmonology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, including the airways and lungs. A pulmonology consultation allows for the assessment of the causes of symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, wheezing or recurrent infections.

During the visit, the doctor conducts a detailed interview and analyzes symptoms and test results, which allows for the diagnosis of diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory infections, and other breathing disorders. Depending on the indications, further diagnosis and appropriate treatment may be recommended.

An important element of pulmonary care is also prevention and monitoring of the course of the disease, which allows for symptom control and improvement of the patient’s quality of life.
