Frequently Asked Questions
Internal medicine specialists look after a wide range of adult health issues, including diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol problems, thyroid and other hormonal disorders, heart and lung diseases, infections and unexplained symptoms. They can also provide general check-ups and advice about reducing future health risks.
If you have several symptoms at once, more than one medical condition or are not sure which organ system is affected, an internist is a good starting point. They take an overview of your health, organise appropriate tests and either manage your care themselves or refer you to a more focused specialist when needed.
At your first visit, the doctor reviews your medical history, medicines, allergies and family history, and asks about your main concerns in detail. A physical examination is carried out and any previous reports are looked at. Based on this, your internist explains possible causes and suggests a plan for tests or treatment, along with follow-up to review how things are going.
Long-term conditions are usually monitored through regular reviews of symptoms, examination findings and blood tests such as sugar and cholesterol levels. Medicines may be adjusted and lifestyle changes reinforced. The aim is to prevent complications where possible and to support you in staying active and independent.
Yes. Internists are trained to keep an eye on the overall picture when different illnesses and treatments overlap. They can help prioritise which issues to tackle first, reduce duplication of tests and make sure that medicines from different specialists work well together and are as safe as possible.
