Internal Medicine Q & A
What is internal medicine?
Internal medicine refers to the general medical treatment of adults suffering from a spectrum of health conditions and illnesses. Internal medicine physicians or internists can offer patients a diagnosis, treatment options, and ongoing care for mild to severe needs.
If you are a patient looking for a doctor to aid in preventive medicine, examine an unknown condition or illness, or guide you in a treatment plan, internists offer communicative, long-lasting relationships.
At Jana HealthCare, internal medicine from Dr. Farhat focuses on overall patient well-being and positivity, no matter the state of health or treatment requirements.
What do internists treat?
Internists treat a spectrum of adult health conditions and illnesses. Rather than focusing on one organ system or area of expertise, they offer expert knowledge on all areas of the body.
Internists may often work with other specific practitioners when treating a patient, depending on their needs, and decipher ongoing treatment plans.
Internists like Dr. Farhat may treat a singular condition, or multiple illnesses or issues that are related. These may include:
- Routine illnesses (e.g., flu, bronchitis)
- Chronic fatigue or sleep problems
- Digestive issues
- Infections
- Blood problems
- Vascular and heart disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Kidney, urinary, or bladder conditions
- Joint and rheumatologic conditions
- Hormonal imbalance
- Neurological conditions
- Mental health
Often adults may see their internist for years, as they have a general view of the patient’s medical history and past treatments. This makes diagnosing a current or chronic issue more substantiated.
