Why Choose Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, for Pulmonology Care?

The field of respiratory medicine is vast. A pulmonologist diagnoses and manages conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. They can also evaluate respiratory illness from the perspective of how it interacts with other parts of the body, such as the heart, immune system, and musculoskeletal system.

Apollo Hospitals Hyderabad has assembled an experienced pulmonology team trained at leading centres in India and internationally. Apollo Hospitals has an established protocol of following international practices during the treatment process. We treat over 8,000 patients each year, offering accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. These factors account for why they continue to maintain their reputation as the best pulmonology hospital in Hyderabad.

Treatment plans are customised according to individual patients and their circumstances. This involves discussing patients’ symptoms and past history before performing clinical evaluation and subsequent diagnostic investigation. In all cases, the treatment method used will depend on the unique nature of the patient’s condition. At the best Lungs Hospital in Hyderabad, our experts have only one goal: to improve your quality of life.

Conditions Treated

At Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, we also treat conditions like pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, cystic lung disease, and chest trauma. 
Chronic Cough

Persistent coughing that lasts over 8 weeks needs to be addressed. The reason behind the coughing is determined by the medical team. Causes may include post-nasal drip, gastro-oesophageal reflux, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

It is a progressive disorder that makes breathing increasingly difficult. The focus of treatment is slowing disease progression, avoiding exacerbations, and improving quality of life through medication, rehabilitation, and healthy living.

Asthma

Well-controlled and difficult-to-manage asthma are both handled at Apollo Hospitals. Triggers and medications are carefully monitored.

Interstitial Lung Disease

This can lead to the scarring of the lung tissues. Diagnosis is very important in this case, as the approach to handling the conditions varies widely depending on the type of disease.

Pulmonary Hypertension

It is a disorder characterised by high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.

Bronchiectasis

This is a disease state in which the air passages enlarge, making them more susceptible to infections and breathing problems.

These include lung conditions such as sarcoidosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Apollo Hospitals is capable of diagnosing and treating this type of rare lung disorder.
