Explanation

Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to look at your lungs and air passages. It's like a test where a thin tube is inserted through your nose or mouth, down your throat, and into your lungs. This tube has a light and a small camera on the end, so the doctor can see what's going on inside. This procedure is often used to diagnose lung diseases, infections, or to find out why someone might be coughing up blood.
