General Medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. General Medicine doctors, also known as General Practitioners (GPs) or Internists, provide primary healthcare services and manage both acute and chronic illnesses.
General Medicine covers a broad spectrum of medical conditions, including but not limited to respiratory infections, gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal problems.
General Medicine doctors offer a range of services, including routine check-ups, preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, health screenings, vaccinations, medication management, and lifestyle counseling.
You should see a General Medicine doctor for various reasons, such as annual check-ups, management of chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension, treatment of acute illnesses like flu or infections, preventive screenings, and general health concerns.
