Thank you for this video, it reminded me of my experience in 2011. I had pleural effusion and had 0.5L drained from my right lung. I was in hospital for 2 months and underwent many tests including a lung biopsy but they couldn't find root cause so said it was most likely tuberculosis (despite no symtoms) because I visited Vietnam. Told them that when I was in Vietnam, I felt intense sharp pain around my right kidney after drinking beer and thought it was somehow related. They dismissed it and proceeded to prescribe 6 months of TB medication. During that time I didn't drink any acohol but after that, I had a shot of vodka to celebrate a friend's birthday and had the exact intense sharp pain. A colleague from work said that wheat is common in beer and vodka so I decided to try drinking wine and other non-wheat beverages and haven't had any recurrence of the pain. I've now removed gluten from my diet as I was getting rashes and IBS whenever I ate bread/pizza/pasta/etc. Feeling much healthier now and no longer breaking out in a rash whenever I do anything strenuous - couldn't even cut the grass at one stage. I hope someone out there might benefit from this.
@@randomgamer9991 I can't really comment because I'm not a doctor and it all depends on your situation. If I were in any doubt, I'd get a second or third opinion and make decision based on the risks of undergoing the procedure
I had a right side Pleural Effusion when I was six years old, I am 16 now and though I didn't really know what was going on then, I am glad to know more about it now. I am extremely grateful for the doctor that saw the my symptoms early, so that it was all taken care of.
very good presentation and information about lungs as one of my relative is already facing plueral effusion and it has reoccurred and i was so much worried till now , but by this vedio its clean and clear that it is not lung cancer but it is only plueral infection.. thanks once again , it is very knowledgeable information
I suffered from pleural effusion when I was just 11 years old and my symptoms were high fever,loss of appetite,sharp pain in chest while jumping,laughing and deep breathing, as my pleural effusion was on my left chest doctor couldn't hear heart beat from my left chest,they told me to immediately hospitalized my self and they took the fluid out of my chest through needle tap and I was discharged by the third day and fit and fine.
@@vinotharunprakash it depends upon hospital and procedure There are many procedure for peural effusion mine was needle tap And yeah the hospital was quite expensive So it cost us 20000-25000
If l am badly not feeling good the ones l was so sick and than doctors help me get better and l did not haft to pay for it so l free so what happens to me l can always get easy with no pay
Incredible presentation 😊thank you, ❤I'm a first year med student from Bangladesh I've studied pleural effusion recently, after watching this video I'm now fully clear 😊keep it up!
I had an empyema about 10 years ago due to a pneumonia on my left side. I went from feeling a little tired and having a slight pain on my left side to struggling to breathe in about 10 minutes. I dialed 911 immediately. I was misdiagnosed with a heart attack and I was hospitalized for a total of 19 days. The draining of my left lung didn't work and I eventually had a Decortication procedure. It was rough. I was told that I might need oxygen from that point on but I was fortunate enough to live without it after the first month following surgery. To this day I experience a shortness of breath especially while laying down.
my mom is in the hsopital with pleural effusion, potentially caused by heart failure. Doctor told us her protein count was low, but they still suspect cancer and heart failure. this is helping me understand. She smokes, she drinks she eats horribly. While i was with her she would sneak out for cigarettes. I told the nurse they gave her patches
Hello, I'm a nursing student in a Respiratory Ward. This video helped me a lot to understand things a lot easier. I'm truly grateful for this. Looking forward to your other educational videos. Stay well!~
I had my aortic valve replaced in February this year and haven't been right since My right lung was nicked during the surgery and doesn't inflate all the way It makes me short of breath and exhausted all the time My Pulmonologist says my lungs are fine, but it doesn't feel fine 😔
Thank you, back in Jan I had covid and could feel hot liquid in my chest ,but a GP at the urgent care centre checked me and said he could not feel anything and said I was fine, now I had an MRI and it showed small Pleural Effusion. always believe patients when they complain of something.
my friend have already 2 months the sack and the pipe connected with the right lungs. Constantly is filling up with pus. Doctor just reapet to wait and that the pipe is not possible to remove yet But my friend is tried of it. He can not move or do any activity. Is there some vitamins or minerals which can speed up the healing of lungs? thanks
I had this after my heart surgery due to heart inflammation. I felt pain all over my chest and stomach and went to the ER. They drained 2L of fluid from my left side and I felt better.

No pain, no issues with breathing, temperature normal, BP is normal. What I hate about it is whenever I go for Occupational Medical checkup, they tend to always suspect that I have TB which is not the case, I hate the stigma but what can I do??? Thanks.
I had a right pleural effusion done in March this year. About 2.2lt of fluid was drained with drainage tubes after surgery as well. I have recovered but only recently found it difficult again to sneeze and breath after months of being able to do this. Has anyone else started going through pain again after being mostly healed and being able to sneeze and breath fine before?
I had Covid in December of 2022- never got back to way I used to feel- fast forward 8 months and I awake unable to breathe - 14 days in hospital and three chest tubes and a 5 hour surgery later I am better

Can are explain the Arthritis possible cause? I had an Empyema, they did Operation to scrape clean cavity. Im out of hospital, had drain ports. At home now I still have drainage from holes. My questions are, my ribs, chest and real painful!! To touch them. Some front ribs are completely numb too to touch. Is this normal? And should I be having so much chest and rib pains over 2 weeks after surgery? Thank you
I have had this recently 5th 9th 2024. I have a rare condition called YELLOW NAIL SYNDROME .as it sounds you have yellow nails that are brittle and sometimes come off you can also suffer from lymphodema which is swelling in limbs mostly but other areas of the body ,and plural effusions. It’s a shame because this condition is so rare and can be undetected
10th of March this year i had symptoms of difficult in breathing together with severe sharp pains around my lungs regions. I took chest xray and it showed i had pleural effusion more on my right lung.

All of it indicating pleural effusion. 6th of may this year the doctors started me the Anti-TB drugs, in which i am using them to this day more than a month and a week but my condition is still getting worse. Need your help/advice
That’s messed bro, I have a minor plural effusion in my left lung, I caused it from overextending my lungs many many times daily with a THC concentrate that I heat up on a coil. This also irritates my lungs. I hope it goes away on its own within a few days to weeks. I wish you the best of luck tho bro, your going through it
Tq so much for the concern, Hope the day comes soon, telling, I'm completely alright. It's Lock down now, complete rest, I should b able to carry my routine activities without much strain. Going thru alternate horrible constipation, bad taste, so unable to eat properly, so feeling weak, scared of eating due to consti, I should get rid of all this, hair loss, skin turning v.dark
Can you tell me how to stop this liquid with 100 percent guaranteed results as my dad has been hospitalised for the same thing and in pulmonography doctor dint find the leakage point and even tried to stick lungs and chest together but it failed and the duct has also been close so if you can help me in this case it would be a great help
we human beings must work harder. everyone is getting old and sick. people are not working together to solve the worlds problems. too much bs and red tape. why is medical school so expensive. we need more doctors and less sick people try to look after your health.
Hi guys! My friend had fluid drained from his lungs like he explained but the third time when they did it, the fluid came out with blood. Would appreciate if someone explain as to why the blood?
Good Morning Everyone. I find this topic very interesting and informative ! I would like to know tho the time space of the fluid aspiration untill it reappears back?
@@yaraalraddadi9143 Good Morning and thank you for the reply. Now I know that it may sound kinda off the social friendly pad a little but I think that what I am gonna say in continuing, hopefully with God's Will should alert lots of people around the world ! Just keep in mind tho that I have no intention whatsoever to abrupt against the prestige of profesion of any Doctor whomsoever nor to offend anyone who works in medical care World, I swear not !!! As the matter of fact, God Bless ALL Doctors and medical care assistance for along centuries they'd attributed in savings Millions of life's World wide !! Regardless of all this, all of us should remember forever that all our existence of being, achievements, experience and adventures along our lifetime is thanks to God who used our Mom and Blessed her to brought us forth on this Earth by Birth. If it wasn't for the fact whereby our parents didn't congregate passion and love to obtained us, none of us wouldn't of been here Today in existence !! all my good friends, aquintances, families and love ones working in the World of Medical Care, I wanna say that the prestige, pride, honour, loyalty of a friendship doesn't value more than the life of a human !! Now cutting to the chase; My beloved "Mom" passed away recently on Sunday August 16th, 2020 at 10:35am right in front of me at home without I could of done anything to at least try helped her out !! Just to make the story shortest as possible, she (my Mom) was at the age of 81 and were having medical health issue since beginning of July 2020. As the matter of fact, she got this (which I found out untill few days afterwards) complications called "Plural Effusion" (nothing to do with the Covid cause her test results were negative). She was passing out lots of "Mocus/Plegm" Slime by throat and Mouth and had lots of "Vocht" (it's in Dutch word here in my phrase but I believe in English language they call it Drull Liquid) in the Lungs. Lots of weird things happened for what goes the medical care and assistance onto my Mom. "House Doctor" came to visit and check out her status on Friday August 07th, 2020 and seeing that she was passing out all these thick Mocus/Plegm Slime, Doctor prescribed same as he did beginning of July, more "Noscapine" and "Flummucil". Also, on July 24th, 2020, Doctor send lab assistant to take Blood test from my Mom. Now, on same Friday August 07th, 2020, (2 weeks after) Doctor came back at home to do rutinary checked up on my Mom's medical status; sugar, pressure, heart palpitations, cardiac response, etc, etc and checked also too chest and upper back part and said tho that there were a peculiar sound within the lungs and respiratory coordination and said that it could be signs of a Lung infection and said then that during the coming week, he would be sending Mom to take out a "Echo Scopic" picture of the Lungs. Doctor remarked also onto me (son) that everything seemed to be good regarding Mom's Blood Test !! Sugar was good levelled (5.1), Blood Pressure little high but no threath cause instead giving her halve pill, would then continue now giving her one pill complete. Just to deviate a bit, my Mom was Diabetic, had little high Blood Pressure now and then, according to Doctor, at last ages got Delirium, Dementia and knee Contractions Complicatons. Returning back from deviation, Doctor continued remarking; "surprisingly for a Elderly of 81, her "Pancreas", "Liver" and "Kidneys" are functioning Optimally Good !! Just have to verify properly tho that Lung issue during the week regarding taking the picture of it. I said onto him then Great !! Next, during the time after that Friday August 07th, 2020 straight along up to Wendsday August 12th (so 5 days after Doctor's previous house visit), my Mom was passing out more and more Mocus/Plegm Slime whereby her health situation got worsened cause she couldn't of breath barely nor couldn't even swallow water, just imagine. First to call was my Mom's House Doctor who came at the house rapidly but surprisingly and even before connecting any kind of medical artefacto to verify my Mom's health status condition, said loud out; "OH, SHE'S DYING" !! Then I turned and told him; "Hey, wait a minute, how do you mean by that if 5 days before you said that everything shows good along my Mom's Blood test?" Then Doctor said; "yeah, but remember she may of have a lung infection". While at Hospital, they never had her on infuse water, nor proper equipment and we had been told that her health conditions were deteriorating, defences were running low, vital organs were shutting down respectively. To be continued cause I have to charge phone now.
@@yaraalraddadi9143 Hi, now continuing the story of the events, I forgot to mention that on August 12th when my Mom's health condition had worsened and I had called the House Doctor and he came and said (by just only seeing her visually) that she's dying and that she had probably a lung infection etc, etc, he had rushed her then to the main Hospital were allegedly there was a Dutch Lung Specialist on duty watch who had handled my Mom (properly by the way) at the Hospital and he said that my Mom's health condition had worsened, defences dropped low, vital organs were shutting down and that she had probably 2 or 4 days left of life and that her age plays an essential role in her health deteriorating process, etc, etc. Now I just wanted to deviate for a minute here and launch the question; "But isn't it so that in a case scenario whereby someone is under going a terminal stage, Doctors wouldn't nor couldn't of seen indications in Blood test from weeks ahead?? Now I could be wrong and may God forgive me but at school education for what goes biology lesson of the human being body, we had been taught that once a person is in terminal stage phase, vital organs such as Kidneys, Liver Pancreas, Bladder (same ones occasionally the House Doctor himself had said on August 07th according to Blood test results that were functioning optimally good) starts shutting down respectively? I mean to say that is it really common that in terminal stage one of the vital organs that would or could be shutting down is or could be the kidneys whereby the pashent can't or would have complications of urinating? In my Mom's case scenario, she was urinating properly and even up to the Dutch Lung Specialist who had said that there was nothing else that could of been done to save or help my Mom, had prescribed Augmentin Antibiotic and a urinatory ketterer regardless cause accordingly the function of this medication is for my Mom to be able to urinate the Vocht, Mocus/Plegm Slime out !! Also in my Mom's eye white, had no yellow stain so I believe that the Liver was still functioning? Also, she had no skin colour changes so probably the pancreas was still functioning good? So what is or was strange about certain points here is where the House Doctor remarked at first on August 07th that everything was good in my Mom's blood test and then on August 12th (5 days after due of visual judgement) said verbally that she was dying? And then wrote on the very next day August 13th, (one day after the alleged Dutch Lung Specialist at Hospital indicated such) a finally official sporadically letter stating that him as my Mom's House Doctor, declares that my Mom is in Terminal Stage phase and that he gives her a time span of life no longer than 3 months. Now I am asking myself so be the case, how come the House Doctor didn't or couldn't say such since weeks before or at least couldn't say this since August 07th already?? Why wait until when the Dutch Lung Specialist indicated such and then finally the very following day, reinforces such statement? Now I am not discarting nor doubting in House Doctor profeshion cause he'd attended to my Mom decently and properly along 20 years and God Bless him and all Doctors but why proceed like this for? Why say Blood test shows everything is good why in reality aparantly it wasn't? To be continued, eyes getting tired of typing?
My mom have cancer in her lungs…. From 2019 my mom has been taking chemo but there is no improvement … and now it’s getting worse… we had done X-ray and the doctor say that there is water in my mom lung but the chest doc is saying differently he feel like there is no water… my mom health is getting worse day by day … I don’t want to lose my mom .. I just need some help My mom doctor has given some medicine to my mom ….I just want to no whether there be some improved after taking medicine and is cough good cause when ever my mom do some yoga she cough
Hi Nermeen. Pleural effusion is where there is fluid in the pleural space (between the lung and the chest wall) whereas pulmonary oedema is where there is fluid inside the lung tissue (between the cells and in the alveoli). Hope that helps
Thank you for this video, it reminded me of my experience in 2011.
I had pleural effusion and had 0.5L drained from my right lung. I was in hospital for 2 months and underwent many tests including a lung biopsy but they couldn't find root cause so said it was most likely tuberculosis (despite no symtoms) because I visited Vietnam. Told them that when I was in Vietnam, I felt intense sharp pain around my right kidney after drinking beer and thought it was somehow related. They dismissed it and proceeded to prescribe 6 months of TB medication.
During that time I didn't drink any acohol but after that, I had a shot of vodka to celebrate a friend's birthday and had the exact intense sharp pain. A colleague from work said that wheat is common in beer and vodka so I decided to try drinking wine and other non-wheat beverages and haven't had any recurrence of the pain.
I've now removed gluten from my diet as I was getting rashes and IBS whenever I ate bread/pizza/pasta/etc. Feeling much healthier now and no longer breaking out in a rash whenever I do anything strenuous - couldn't even cut the grass at one stage.
I hope someone out there might benefit from this.

I think the triad of the Meig’s syndrome are ascites, pleural effusion and benign ovarian tumor.
Would these videos be enough for usmle?
I love your videos; they're so helpful! But I thought Meig's syndrome was a benign ovarian fibroma rather than ovarian cancer?
Thanks! You are right actually, usually benign tumours but they can also be malignant.
Meig's syndrome is a triad of benign ovarian tumors with ascites and plearal effusion
Very helpful , thank you

Hi guys!
My friend had fluid drained from his lungs like he explained but the third time when they did it, the fluid came out with blood.
Would appreciate if someone explain as to why the blood?
If blood is very dark then maybe it symptoms of lung cancerous cell
My dad have the same problem we just find out this cancer. How are you friend?
It a lung cancer
Good Morning Everyone. I find this topic very interesting and informative ! I would like to know tho the time space of the fluid aspiration untill it reappears back?
It’s depends on the cause if it was infection and treated it will never back again until your second exposure
@@yaraalraddadi9143 Good Morning and thank you for the reply. Now I know that it may sound kinda off the social friendly pad a little but I think that what I am gonna say in continuing, hopefully with God's Will should alert lots of people around the world ! Just keep in mind tho that I have no intention whatsoever to abrupt against the prestige of profesion of any Doctor whomsoever nor to offend anyone who works in medical care World, I swear not !!! As the matter of fact, God Bless ALL Doctors and medical care assistance for along centuries they'd attributed in savings Millions of life's World wide !! Regardless of all this, all of us should remember forever that all our existence of being, achievements, experience and adventures along our lifetime is thanks to God who used our Mom and Blessed her to brought us forth on this Earth by Birth. If it wasn't for the fact whereby our parents didn't congregate passion and love to obtained us, none of us wouldn't of been here Today in existence !! all my good friends, aquintances, families and love ones working in the World of Medical Care, I wanna say that the prestige, pride, honour, loyalty of a friendship doesn't value more than the life of a human !! Now cutting to the chase; My beloved "Mom" passed away recently on Sunday August 16th, 2020 at 10:35am right in front of me at home without I could of done anything to at least try helped her out !! Just to make the story shortest as possible, she (my Mom) was at the age of 81 and were having medical health issue since beginning of July 2020. As the matter of fact, she got this (which I found out untill few days afterwards) complications called "Plural Effusion" (nothing to do with the Covid cause her test results were negative). She was passing out lots of "Mocus/Plegm" Slime by throat and Mouth and had lots of "Vocht" (it's in Dutch word here in my phrase but I believe in English language they call it Drull Liquid) in the Lungs. Lots of weird things happened for what goes the medical care and assistance onto my Mom. "House Doctor" came to visit and check out her status on Friday August 07th, 2020 and seeing that she was passing out all these thick Mocus/Plegm Slime, Doctor prescribed same as he did beginning of July, more "Noscapine" and "Flummucil". Also, on July 24th, 2020, Doctor send lab assistant to take Blood test from my Mom. Now, on same Friday August 07th, 2020, (2 weeks after) Doctor came back at home to do rutinary checked up on my Mom's medical status; sugar, pressure, heart palpitations, cardiac response, etc, etc and checked also too chest and upper back part and said tho that there were a peculiar sound within the lungs and respiratory coordination and said that it could be signs of a Lung infection and said then that during the coming week, he would be sending Mom to take out a "Echo Scopic" picture of the Lungs. Doctor remarked also onto me (son) that everything seemed to be good regarding Mom's Blood Test !! Sugar was good levelled (5.1), Blood Pressure little high but no threath cause instead giving her halve pill, would then continue now giving her one pill complete. Just to deviate a bit, my Mom was Diabetic, had little high Blood Pressure now and then, according to Doctor, at last ages got Delirium, Dementia and knee Contractions Complicatons. Returning back from deviation, Doctor continued remarking; "surprisingly for a Elderly of 81, her "Pancreas", "Liver" and "Kidneys" are functioning Optimally Good !! Just have to verify properly tho that Lung issue during the week regarding taking the picture of it. I said onto him then Great !! Next, during the time after that Friday August 07th, 2020 straight along up to Wendsday August 12th (so 5 days after Doctor's previous house visit), my Mom was passing out more and more Mocus/Plegm Slime whereby her health situation got worsened cause she couldn't of breath barely nor couldn't even swallow water, just imagine. First to call was my Mom's House Doctor who came at the house rapidly but surprisingly and even before connecting any kind of medical artefacto to verify my Mom's health status condition, said loud out; "OH, SHE'S DYING" !! Then I turned and told him; "Hey, wait a minute, how do you mean by that if 5 days before you said that everything shows good along my Mom's Blood test?" Then Doctor said; "yeah, but remember she may of have a lung infection". While at Hospital, they never had her on infuse water, nor proper equipment and we had been told that her health conditions were deteriorating, defences were running low, vital organs were shutting down respectively. To be continued cause I have to charge phone now.

@@yaraalraddadi9143 Hi, now continuing the story of the events, I forgot to mention that on August 12th when my Mom's health condition had worsened and I had called the House Doctor and he came and said (by just only seeing her visually) that she's dying and that she had probably a lung infection etc, etc, he had rushed her then to the main Hospital were allegedly there was a Dutch Lung Specialist on duty watch who had handled my Mom (properly by the way) at the Hospital and he said that my Mom's health condition had worsened, defences dropped low, vital organs were shutting down and that she had probably 2 or 4 days left of life and that her age plays an essential role in her health deteriorating process, etc, etc. Now I just wanted to deviate for a minute here and launch the question; "But isn't it so that in a case scenario whereby someone is under going a terminal stage, Doctors wouldn't nor couldn't of seen indications in Blood test from weeks ahead?? Now I could be wrong and may God forgive me but at school education for what goes biology lesson of the human being body, we had been taught that once a person is in terminal stage phase, vital organs such as Kidneys, Liver Pancreas, Bladder (same ones occasionally the House Doctor himself had said on August 07th according to Blood test results that were functioning optimally good) starts shutting down respectively? I mean to say that is it really common that in terminal stage one of the vital organs that would or could be shutting down is or could be the kidneys whereby the pashent can't or would have complications of urinating? In my Mom's case scenario, she was urinating properly and even up to the Dutch Lung Specialist who had said that there was nothing else that could of been done to save or help my Mom, had prescribed Augmentin Antibiotic and a urinatory ketterer regardless cause accordingly the function of this medication is for my Mom to be able to urinate the Vocht, Mocus/Plegm Slime out !! Also in my Mom's eye white, had no yellow stain so I believe that the Liver was still functioning? Also, she had no skin colour changes so probably the pancreas was still functioning good? So what is or was strange about certain points here is where the House Doctor remarked at first on August 07th that everything was good in my Mom's blood test and then on August 12th (5 days after due of visual judgement) said verbally that she was dying? And then wrote on the very next day August 13th, (one day after the alleged Dutch Lung Specialist at Hospital indicated such) a finally official sporadically letter stating that him as my Mom's House Doctor, declares that my Mom is in Terminal Stage phase and that he gives her a time span of life no longer than 3 months. Now I am asking myself so be the case, how come the House Doctor didn't or couldn't say such since weeks before or at least couldn't say this since August 07th already?? Why wait until when the Dutch Lung Specialist indicated such and then finally the very following day, reinforces such statement? Now I am not discarting nor doubting in House Doctor profeshion cause he'd attended to my Mom decently and properly along 20 years and God Bless him and all Doctors but why proceed like this for? Why say Blood test shows everything is good why in reality aparantly it wasn't? To be continued, eyes getting tired of typing?
Please make videos 🙌🙏

In MEIG disease the ovarian tumour is benign and NOT cancer.
What s difference between pleural effusion and pulmonary edema ??
Hi Nermeen. Pleural effusion is where there is fluid in the pleural space (between the lung and the chest wall) whereas pulmonary oedema is where there is fluid inside the lung tissue (between the cells and in the alveoli). Hope that helps
