Pulmonology is a medical field concerned with diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases of the respiratory system. Experienced pulmonologists work at Medincentre, who use contemporary methods of diagnostics and therapy to help patients with different pathologies of the lungs and bronchi.
What diseases does a pulmonologist treat?
Medincentre specialists help with the following diseases:
-
Pneumonia
-
Acute bronchitis
-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-
Bronchial asthma
-
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD)
-
Pulmonary emphysema
-
Respiratory failure
Why is it important to consult a pulmonologist?
Many diseases of the respiratory system can proceed secretly at early stages. However if you do not consult a doctor in a timely fashion the disease can transition to a chronic form and cause serious complications, such as respiratory failure, trophic changes in the tissues or infections. You should book an appointment if you exhibit symptoms such as:
-
Persistent, long-lasting cough
-
Shortness of breath, worsening with physical exertion
-
Chest pain or heaviness
-
Severe chest pain
-
Sputum with unpleasant odor, blood traces, or unusual colour
-
Frequent respiratory infections

Methods of diagnosing respiratory diseases
At Medincentre, comprehensive diagnostics of lung and bronchi diseases is conducted:
-
X-ray and fluorography: quick and accessible methods for detecting inflammations, neoplasms, and other lung changes
-
CT-scan: provides highly accurate images of the respiratory organs, detecting tumours, emphysema, abscesses, and other pathologies
-
Spirography: assesses lung function and helps determine the presence of airway obstruction
- Laboratory tests: sputum, blood, and other analyses help identify the cause of the disease
Treating lung diseases at Medincentre
Methods of treatment are chosen individually depending on the diagnosis and the condition of the patient:
-
Medication therapy: antibiotics, antiviral drugs, bronchodilators, and mucolytics are used to relieve symptoms, fight infection, and restore respiratory function
-
Exercise therapy: includes breathing exercises, exercises to strengthen the respiratory muscles, and chest massage to improve sputum clearance and prevent complications. Helps restore normal breathing and supports a faster return to daily life
- Physiotherapy: methods such as ultrasound therapy, magnetotherapy, and electrophoresis are used to reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation in the lungs, and accelerate recovery
- Transportation up to 500 km from Moscow
- Doctors with 25 years of experience
Which test is the most informative for lung diseases?
The most accurate image is given by a CT-scan of the rib cage. This method allows detection of pathologies which would be unseen on a normal X-ray.
What complications can arise for chronic bronchitis?
Without treatment chronic bronchitis can lead to COPD, pulmonary hypertension and other complications.
Is it possible to exercise with bronchial asthma?
Yes, with proper disease control physical activity is not a contraindication. However the weight should be chosen individually.
Do you need to do a CT-scan for pneumonia?
In some cases a CT-scan helps clarify the diagnosis and determine the severity of lesions of lung tissue.
