Internal Diseases

Internal Medicine is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of various health problems and diseases in adults. This field focuses on the diseases of internal organ systems, particularly the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, kidneys, liver, and endocrine glands.

 

Internal Medicine specialists evaluate and treat patients who are typically referred by general practitioners or primary care physicians. They assess the overall health status of patients by evaluating symptoms, taking medical history, and conducting physical examinations. If necessary, they utilize laboratory tests, imaging techniques, and other diagnostic tools.

The Internal Medicine field plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of many common diseases. These include hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and rheumatologic diseases. Additionally, infectious diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, hematologic diseases, and immune system disorders fall within the realm of Internal Medicine.

Internal Medicine specialists employ various treatment methods, such as pharmacological therapies, lifestyle changes, dietary recommendations, and other interventions, to improve patients’ health and manage their diseases. They may also refer patients to other subspecialties if surgical interventions or more specific treatments are required.

The field of Internal Medicine encompasses a wide range of diseases and health conditions. Internal Medicine specialists work closely with their patients to provide patient-centered care and adopt a multidisciplinary approach.
