COPD: Comprehensive Respiratory Care for Better Breathing

At Dr. Jayakumar’s Polyclinic, we provide advanced diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive lung condition that significantly impacts breathing and overall quality of life. COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is primarily caused by long-term exposure to tobacco smoke, air pollution, and occupational hazards, leading to airway inflammation, mucus buildup, and lung tissue damage. Patients often experience persistent cough, wheezing, breathlessness, and reduced exercise tolerance, which worsen over time if left untreated. Our clinic offers early screening using pulmonary function tests (PFTs), chest X-rays, and arterial blood gas analysis to assess lung health and disease progression. Through individualized treatment plans, including bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and pulmonary rehabilitation, we help patients regain control over their breathing and daily activities.

For patients with advanced or severe COPD, we provide oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation support, and immunotherapy options to improve respiratory efficiency and reduce hospitalizations. Our integrated approach focuses on smoking cessation programs, nutritional counseling, breathing exercises, and lifestyle modifications to prevent exacerbations and enhance lung function. We also educate patients on inhaler techniques, airway clearance methods, and self-management strategies to minimize symptoms and complications. With regular follow-ups, teleconsultations, and emergency care support, Dr. Jayakumar’s Polyclinic ensures that COPD patients receive continuous, high-quality care tailored to their specific needs. Our mission is to help individuals with COPD breathe easier, stay active, and improve their overall well-being, ensuring a healthier and more fulfilling life.
