Chest pain and breathlessness after an injury should never be ignored.

Hemothorax happens when blood collects in the space around your lungs, often after trauma, and it can quickly turn serious if left untreated. The good news?

With advanced key-hole (VATS) surgery, treatment today is far less invasive, with quicker recovery and minimal scarring.

If you or a loved one has experienced chest trauma, don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Early diagnosis saves lives.

Pleural effusion means fluid around the lungs, and it's always a sign of something else.

TB and lung cancer are the most common causes. Diagnosis starts with a fluid tap and lab analysis, and sometimes a key-hole/VATS biopsy for a clearer answer.

Don't ignore persistent breathlessness. Getting to the cause early changes everything.

Every year, thousands of lung cancer cases go undetected until it's too late. As a thoracic surgeon, I've seen how early symptoms get brushed aside as "just a cough" or "just fatigue."

This World Lung Cancer Day, take that persistent cough seriously. Early detection saves lives.

A hole in the chest wall can let air into a space where it should never be, and that's how a lung collapses.

Pneumothorax happens when air enters the pleural space (the thin gap around the lung) through an injury to the chest wall, often from trauma.

As air builds up in that space, it presses on the lung until it can no longer expand properly. This is treated with a chest drain, which removes the trapped air and lets the lung re-expand.

Chest trauma is never something to wait out. Sudden chest pain or breathlessness after an injury needs immediate medical attention.

TB, if left untreated or poorly managed, can silently progress into MDR-TB, a far more serious and difficult condition to treat.

Dr. Arvind Kumar breaks down the difference: caught early, TB is curable in just 6 months with simple medicines.

Left unchecked, treatment can stretch to 1.5 years with expensive, injectable therapy. Don't wait for it to get harder to treat, get checked today.
