Empyema and Pneumothorax

Empyema and pneumothorax are serious lung conditions that require immediate medical attention. At Vizag Healthcare, Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, we provide prompt diagnosis and expert treatment for patients experiencing sudden chest pain, difficulty in breathing, fever, or persistent cough. Early intervention is important to protect lung function and prevent complications.

Empyema occurs when infected fluid collects around the lungs, usually as a complication of pneumonia or severe chest infections. Pneumothorax, on the other hand, happens when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. Our specialists conduct accurate assessments using chest X-rays, ultrasound, and CT scans to determine the underlying cause and severity.

Treatment for these conditions may involve procedures such as ultrasound-guided pleural aspiration, chest tube drainage, medications to clear infection, or advanced interventions when needed. At Vizag Healthcare, our experienced team ensures that every procedure is performed safely, minimizing discomfort and supporting faster recovery. We focus on restoring normal lung expansion and improving breathing as quickly as possible.

Recovery care is equally important. Patients receive guidance on breathing exercises, infection prevention, and long-term lung health management. With dedicated follow-up and personalized support, we help individuals regain strength and confidence after treatment. If you or your loved one is showing signs of severe chest discomfort or sudden shortness of breath, visit Vizag Healthcare in Maharani Peta for expert, timely care.
