Pulmonary diseases
encompass a diverse range of conditions affecting the respiratory system. These
diseases compromise lung function, leading to symptoms like coughing, shortness of
breath, and chest pain. Factors such as smoking, infections, genetics, and environmental exposures
contribute to their development. Diagnosis involves medical history, imaging,
and pulmonary function tests. Management includes medications, lifestyle
adjustments, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions. Early detection and
comprehensive care are vital to mitigate symptoms, improve quality of life, and
address the global health impact of pulmonary diseases.
