Bronchoscopy Evaluation
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a pulmonologist to look directly inside the airways and lungs using a thin flexible camera. It is used to diagnose and sometimes treat lung and airway problems. At Maitreyi Clinic in Indore, bronchoscopy is recommended when detailed evaluation is needed for symptoms such as persistent cough, coughing up blood, unexplained breathlessness, or abnormal imaging results.
This procedure helps doctors identify the cause of lung disease more accurately and can guide the right treatment plan. It is commonly used in patients with infections, suspected TB, lung nodules, airway narrowing, or unexplained respiratory symptoms.
