Pulmonology

It is a medical specialty concerned with protecting respiratory system health and with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of its diseases, using medical methods based on contemporary science for this purpose. Due to the importance of the relationship between the respiratory system and all other organs and tissues, the specialty of Chest Diseases demonstrates a holistic approach. The respiratory system, consisting of the airways extending from the nostrils to the air sacs and the parenchyma that contains them, is the organ and tissue system with the largest surface area exposed to the external environment in our body. Numerous factors—primarily the microbial load, temperature, humidity, and airflow rate of indoor and outdoor air, as well as indoor and outdoor air pollution, occupational exposure, the use of tobacco products, or exposure to tobacco smoke—may cause serious damage. Lung diseases are of primary importance for public health. The airways may be affected by two main types of diseases: obstructive or restrictive. Respiratory system–related symptoms such as cough, sputum production, difficulty breathing in or out, a sensation of tightness, sleep disturbances, snoring, persistent fatigue and exhaustion throughout the day, wheezing or whistling breathing, coughing up blood, and chest pain should be taken seriously, and a chest diseases specialist should be consulted without delay. Diagnosis is established by jointly evaluating a detailed physical examination together with the necessary scales, tests, and laboratory analyses. The established diagnosis (lung diseases related to rheumatologic conditions, asthma, COPD, COVID, pneumonia..) and the treatment and rehabilitation process are shared with the patient and their relatives, and the therapeutic process is carried out in cooperation. The best approach is to seek medical evaluation before becoming ill and to receive protective and preventive support against diseases.
