FAQ’s

General medicine, also known as internal medicine, is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatment of a wide range of medical conditions in adults.

You should see a general medicine doctor for routine check-ups, vaccinations, management of chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension), acute illnesses (like infections or flu), and when you have any health concerns or symptoms.

General medicine doctors provide comprehensive care for a wide range of medical conditions. Specialists, on the other hand, have in-depth knowledge and training in specific areas of medicine (e.g., cardiology, dermatology, or gastroenterology). You may be referred to a specialist if you have a complex or specialized medical issue.

A general medicine check-up typically includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, discussion of any health concerns, and may involve ordering diagnostic tests or screenings like blood tests, X-rays, or ECGs.

General medicine doctors commonly treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, respiratory infections, digestive disorders, arthritis, and preventive care like vaccinations and cancer screenings.
