Consultation with a pulmonologist

A pulmonologist specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of lung and airway diseases, provides expert review of diagnoses and treatment plans, performs regular and post-treatment follow-up of chronic disease patients, and explains prevention methods and treatment options. If necessary, our pulmonologist can perform spirometric measurements during consultation, and refer you to additional examinations

You are welcome to consult with our pulmonologist if you suspect you may have a lung or airway disease, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), etc., or if you suffer from nocturnal breathing disorders. The price of the consultation is 70 euros.

Pulmonary diseases may affect people of any age if their immune system is weakened.

Nasal concha burning

There may be numerous reasons for a chronic stuffy nose and swelling of the mucous membrane. One possible cause is the enlargement of the nasal concha or hypertrophy. It is possible to use burning with radio frequencies to treat enlarged nasal concha and thereby reduce the symptoms of a stuffy nose.

The procedure is done as an ambulatory visit. The procedure may be recommended to you by a nose, ear or throat doctor.

How is it done?

• The nasal mucous membrane is locally anaesthetised with medicine, after which the lower nasal concha is treated with a special RF-electrode, which heats the tissues and results in a reduction of the size of the nasal concha.
• You will be left under observation for a couple of hours after the procedure.

Important to know

The stuffiness of the nose usually worsens, during the first days after the procedure, due to the swelling of the tissues. Training and using the sauna should be avoided during the first couple of days after the procedure. It might be necessary to take some days of sick leave, depending on the nature of your work. It is recommended that patients use preparations that moisturise the nose. The real benefit of the operation is usually felt several months later, after the swelling has disappeared and the symptoms of a stuffy nose have been fully alleviated. The nose, ear or throat doctor may call the patient to a secondary check-up. Serious complications rarely occur with nasal concha coblation.

The price for nasal concha burning is € 280
