General Medicine

Internal medicine or general medicine is the branch of medicine dealing with the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians specializing in medicine are known as internists or physicians. Internists are well-versed in the management of patients with uniform or multisystem illnesses. Internists look after hospitalized and mobile patients and play a crucial role in teaching and analysis.

About General Medicine and General Practitioner

Internal medicine specialists, also called general medicine specialists or medical specialty physicians, are physicians trained to manage significantly complicated or multisystem sickness conditions that internal specialists might not be trained to treat. 

General medicine covers the basic health problems that you or your family normally encounter in day-to-day life. It requires an in-depth study in this domain.
They manage serious, acute diseases that affect multiple organ systems in one patient. They might manage multiple chronic diseases or "comorbidities" a patient might have.

General medicine specialists do not offer less experience than internal specialists. Rather, they have been trained to care for patients with multiple concurrent issues or complicated comorbidities. 

Reasons to Consult a General Practitioner

General practitioners provide you with full-body treatment, working with a team of nurses and other hospital staff.
Your general doctor can look after the following medical needs:

• Immunizations
• Monthly checkups
• Evaluating your mental health 
• Treating serious, long-term health issues
• Refer you to a specialist
• Conduct a follow-up routine

Symptoms to Check Before Visiting a General Practitioner

General practitioners will assist you with several routine and serious conditions. There are many reasons to go to your general practitioner, including:

Wellness Exams and Preventative Medication: One of the most vital roles of a general practitioner is performing routine screenings for various health conditions. You will benefit from visiting a general practitioner for conditions like: 

• High blood pressure
• Risk factors for cardiomyopathy
• Risk factors for polygenic disease
• High cholesterol
• Cancer
• Sexually transmitted diseases

General practitioners are instrumental in the early detection of health conditions and prescribing preventative medicine.
