Chest Diseases

Chest Diseases

In pulmonology units dealing with respiratory system and lung diseases; patients with respiratory complaints are diagnosed and treated. Patients with reduced respiratory quality should not ignore these problems and should be treated before they encounter more serious problems.

Chest Diseases Treatment Areas

1- Bronchoscopy / Bronchoscopy Unit
The endoscopic diagnostic method used to diagnose undiagnosed respiratory and lung diseases and to identify respiratory problems is called "bronchoscopy". With this method, which makes it possible to examine the respiratory tract and lungs, the patient's problem is diagnosed and it is aimed to start the treatment process quickly.

2- COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD, which prevents breathing and reduces the quality of life of the person, narrows the airways, causes coughing and sputum formation, and can lead to shortness of breath even when the person moves little. Exposure to chemicals, air pollution and smoking can cause COPD.

3- Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Tumor formation in the lung as a result of rapid and uncontrolled proliferation of lung cells is called lung cancer. Lung cancer, which gradually makes itself felt with complaints such as breathing problems, bloody sputum and chest pain, can be treated using different methods depending on the course of the disease and the general health status of the patient. Surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy are the methods used during the treatment of lung cancer.

4- Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Lung Diseases
There is a natural link between allergies and lung diseases. If an allergen that the immune system perceives as a threat enters the body, the respiratory tract cannot function. Diseases that cause difficulty breathing, cough, runny nose and sputum formation are treated in the pulmonology unit.

5- Obstructive Lung Diseases
Asthma, COPD and bronchiectasis are examples of obstructive lung diseases that interfere with the function of the lungs and can become chronic and cause serious consequences. Comprehensive treatments are applied to improve the quality of life of patients, correct respiratory problems and alleviate the symptoms of the diseases.

6- Chronic Coughs
Chronic coughs that last longer than about three weeks, reduce the quality of life, cause sleep problems and fatigue should not be neglected. The causes of chronic coughs, which usually occur as a symptom of a serious problem, should be determined and the treatment process should be started.

7- Pneumonia (Pneumonia) Treatment Izmir
Pneumonia, also known as pneumonia, is an infection of one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi. The infection in the lungs fills the air-filled sacs called alveoli and breathing becomes increasingly difficult. Patients with symptoms of cough, fever, sweating, chills, chest pain and shortness of breath should seek medical attention immediately.

8- Pleurisy
Pleurisy is when the space between the lung membranes fills with more fluid than necessary for different reasons. Pleurisy should be perceived as a symptom of a different disease rather than a disease in itself. Pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, pleural cancer and lung cancer diseases can cause fluid accumulation in the pleura.

9- Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis can be defined as inflammation of organs, affecting organs such as the heart, liver, brain, spleen, lymph nodes, eyes and skin. It is not known exactly why it occurs. Sarcoidosis is not a contagious disease and blood and urine tests, as well as a chest x-ray, are required for diagnosis.

10- Pneumothorax (Deflation of the Lung)
Pneumothorax, also known as a lung burst, can occur as a result of medical interventions, as a result of another disease or for no reason. In the disease, which manifests itself with symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, back and chest pain, there is air in the chest cage.

11- Pulmonary Embolism (Lung Embolism)
A blood clot that forms in the veins in different parts of the body and reaches the lungs through the blood can block the pulmonary artery or other vessels. This problem is defined as pulmonary embolism. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, sweating, palpitations and bloody sputum.

12- Respiratory Physiotherapy
The treatment of respiratory diseases may require the use of more than one method together. The process of performing respiratory exercises to improve the quality of life of patients is called respiratory physiotherapy.

13- Respiratory Function Tests in Respiratory Physiology Laboratory Unit
Pulmonary function tests are performed to identify respiratory problems, to differentiate obstructive or obstructive pathology and to identify respiratory problems. Thus, the dangers posed by factors that are overlooked in the diagnosis of diseases are eliminated. Tests such as airflow measurements, lung volume and capacity measurements, diffusion capacity measurements provide detailed information about the patient's health status.

14- Smoking Addiction, Smoking Related Diseases and Smoking Cessation Methods
The negative impact of smoking on human health cannot be denied when its effect on chest diseases is taken into consideration. Diseases caused by smoking are treated in the chest diseases unit. In addition, smoking cessation methods are explained to people with smoking addiction problems and if accepted, the treatment process is started.
