Patient Testimonial for Treatment for Bilateral Pleural Effusion

Pleural effusion is the build-up of excess fluid in the pleural space, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. Bilateral pleural effusion affects both the lungs and the symptoms may include chest tightness, breathing difficulty, shortness of breath, and dry cough.

This condition can occur due to various causes such as infections, heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney disease, pulmonary embolism, malignancies, and other inflammatory conditions. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, imaging tests, and analysis of pleural fluid.

Prompt medical evaluation and management are essential to initiate appropriate treatment. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. It may involve treating the underlying cause, removing the accumulated fluid through drainage, or providing supportive care to help manage symptoms and improve lung function.
