Internal Medicine Center

Most doctors recommend that adults have an annual physical exam so the physician can check for any new health conditions or monitor any known pre-existing conditions. Phyathai 1’s Internal Medicine Center diagnose and treat all types of adult diseases by checking physical symptoms, bloodwork, and urinalysis.

What is Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine is the specialty of internal medicine that covers a wide range of conditions affecting the body’s internal organs – the heart, the lungs, the liver, the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys and urinary tract, the brain, the spinal column, nerves, muscles, and joints. Although some diseases specifically affect individual organs, the majority of common diseases – arteriosclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer may affect many internal organs of the body. 

Internal medicine specialists are called internists. They must then be trained to recognize and manage a broad range of diseases and, with the aging population, many patients with chronic and multiple disorders that affect internal organs.

An internist can be a lifesaver because all internists are trained to solve diagnostic puzzles that leave others baffled. Chronic illness and severe health problems often are not what they seem, and internists utilize their extensive knowledge and experience to determine the exact problem and best solution.

When Should You See an Internal Medicine Doctor?

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, usually does not show any obvious symptoms. However, it can cause cardiovascular and organ damage, so your primary care physician needs to diagnose and properly treat it on an ongoing basis.

High Cholesterol

High cholesterol occurs when too much cholesterol – which comprises fats or lipids – is in the blood. Like high blood pressure, high cholesterol has no symptoms. Your doctor can conduct a blood test to check your cholesterol levels.

Allergies

Different types of allergic reactions have different causes and symptoms. Some allergic reactions can be life-threatening, such as peanut or latex allergies which can cause anaphylactic shock in susceptible people, while more minor allergies can cause itching and rashes.

Benefits of Visiting Internal Medicine Center

Precise Diagnosis

There are general internal medicine doctors who deal with a wide range of potential diseases a patient might have. But most often, internal medicine doctors decide to specialize in a sub-area, such as immunology, cardiology, or gastroenterology. Subsequently, patients receive a precise diagnosis of their symptoms and can trust the diagnosis and recommended treatment.

Preventive Care

Doctors who practice internal medicine do more than diagnose patients who experience disease symptoms and treat the underlying condition to the best of their ability. Additionally, internal medicine doctors deal with the prevention of disease as well. Individuals at risk of disease, either because of their medical history or certain lifestyle choices, can visit an internist to devise a plan for prevention.

Effective Treatment

Another significant benefit of visiting an internal medicine doctor is receiving the most effective treatment possible. Internal medicine doctors go through years of education, complete an extensive residency program and specialize in a particular area. This allows them to diagnose and provide effective treatment for patients appropriately.

With general or family doctors, receiving an accurate diagnosis may become more difficult. But you can trust an experienced internal medicine doctor to identify the issue faster and start effective treatment as soon as possible. 

Quality communication

Patients need to be able to trust their doctor. A big part of trust is open and honest communication. Internal medicine doctors communicate well with the patients, ensuring all their questions and concerns are adequately addressed. If the patient requires another internist specializing in a different area of expertise, then internal medicine doctors can help patients get the additional treatment the patient needs.
