Pulmonology

Pulmonology is a medical speciality focusing on the respiratory system, which includes our lungs and the airways leading into them. Pulmonologists diagnose and treat conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They also handle more severe cases like lung cancer and diseases that require delicate care like cystic fibrosis. Essentially, if it affects your ability to breathe, a pulmonologist is the specialist you'd see.
