General Medicine

General medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of adult diseases affecting various organ systems. It covers conditions like hypertension, diabetes, respiratory infections, thyroid disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and migraines. Physicians in this field provide comprehensive care, manage chronic illnesses, and promote overall health through lifestyle modifications, medications, and preventive measures.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): 

Hypertension occurs when blood pressure remains consistently high, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. It often has no symptoms but may cause headaches, dizziness, or chest pain in severe cases. Risk factors include obesity, stress, high salt intake, and a sedentary lifestyle. Management involves lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring to prevent complications and ensure heart health.

Diabetes Mellitus:

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either does not produce enough insulin (Type 1) or cannot use it effectively (Type 2), leading to high blood sugar levels. Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, and slow healing wounds. Poorly managed diabetes can cause complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, and heart problems. Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, medication, insulin therapy, and regular blood sugar monitoring.

Respiratory Infections:

Common infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, and influenza affect the respiratory system, causing cough, fever, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. These infections can be viral or bacterial, with treatment depending on the cause. Vaccinations, good hygiene, and avoiding smoking reduce the risk. Severe cases, especially in elderly or immunocompromised individuals, may require hospitalization and oxygen therapy for proper recovery.

Thyroid Disorders:

Thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), affecting metabolism and energy levels. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, and depression, while hyperthyroidism causes weight loss, anxiety, and palpitations. Causes include autoimmune conditions, iodine deficiency, or nodules. Treatment involves hormone replacement therapy or medications to regulate thyroid function and maintain metabolic balance.

Gastrointestinal Disorders:

Common conditions include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gastritis, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and indigestion. These may result from infections, stress, poor diet, or chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Treatment involves dietary changes, medications, and stress management. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications such as ulcers, malabsorption, and chronic discomfort.

Migraine and Headaches:

Migraines are intense, recurring headaches often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances. Triggers include stress, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, and certain foods. Tension headaches, another common type, are caused by muscle tension and stress. Treatment includes pain relievers, lifestyle modifications, and avoiding triggers. Preventive medications may be prescribed for chronic migraine sufferers to reduce frequency and severity.
