Pulmonary Fibrosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition in which the tissue of the lungs becomes thick and scarred over time, which makes it hard for oxygen to pass into the blood normally.
Frequent symptoms: Shortness of breath that progresses gradually, a persistent dry cough, fatigue, and sometimes weight loss.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek an evaluation in the case of difficulty breathing that worsens over time or a dry cough that does not subside, especially if it limits everyday activities.
Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist is the professional who studies lung diseases like this one, with support from the internist when a broader evaluation is needed. Addressing these symptoms in time with a specialist makes it possible to take better care of respiratory function.
