Breathe freely again. Delhi's top pulmonologists offer advanced procedures to treat fluid buildup around the lungs.
Get Free Consultation →Pleural effusion, often called "water on the lungs," is the buildup of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. Treatment focuses on removing the fluid to relieve symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain, and addressing the underlying cause.
In Delhi, common procedures include Thoracentesis (draining fluid with a needle) and placing an Indwelling Pleural Catheter for recurrent effusions. For persistent cases, Pleurodesis may be performed to prevent fluid from coming back.
