What is Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. A thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth to access the lungs, allowing doctors to diagnose and sometimes treat lung-related conditions.
When is Bronchoscopy Needed?
Dr. Akash Deep recommends bronchoscopy in the following situations:
- Persistent or unexplained cough
- Suspected lung infections (e.g., tuberculosis or pneumonia)
