Who is a General Physician?

A General Physician is a type of medical professional that, in addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic illnesses, offers preventive care and health counseling to patients of all ages. General Physicians diagnose illnesses early, before they progress to acute issues or become serious enough to necessitate surgical intervention. Heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, eczema, fever and cough, as well as a number of mental health conditions, can all be identified, diagnosed, and treated by a General Physician.

General physicians are distinct from other specialists because they have a wide range of competence, as opposed to other specialists who restrict their medical practice to issues concerning only one body system or one particular branch of medicine.


What are the qualifications of a General Physician?

General physicians, also known as primary care physicians, are the healthcare professionals that initially treat the majority of ailments. After earning a five-year bachelor's degree from an accredited medical college, the aspirant general physician must complete residency training for primary care practice. For a student to be eligible to become a general physician, they must complete an ideal three-year residency after receiving their MBBS and basic medical training.

Candidates might begin preparing for a profession in medicine at a young age. Any applicant who wants to become a general physician must have completed class 12 and earned a minimum 50% ( for general category) in biology, physics, and chemistry. If students wish to be admitted to the top medical colleges in India to study their MBBS, they must next pass the NEET exam, a national level undergraduate medical entrance exam, with respectable scores in 10+2. In order to become a qualified general physician in India, students must complete a five-year bachelor's degree program, a five-month internship, and then ideally three years of residency.


What does a General Physician do?

For the diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe and complex illnesses, general physicians are educated to perform a number of medical operations. They always do a thorough evaluation, which enables them to see issues and consider diagnostic options that might not have been considered otherwise.

Due to their extensive training, general physicians are also skilled in identifying and treating issues that affect a patient's many different body systems. After performing a comprehensive diagnosis of the symptoms or condition, doctors may decide to refer patients to specialists in the disease rather than just treating them until they are fully recovered. Additionally, they give doctors knowledge about a patient's risk status and might suggest appropriate treatment to lessen the danger of the procedure. They can also help with continuing medical issues and postoperative care.

General physicians are trained to evaluate complex interactions that may occur when a patient is given multiple drugs at once to treat various conditions, and they employ diagnostic tests to examine challenging diagnostic circumstances in a rational, safe, and effective manner.


What diseases do General Physicians treat?

If you have a fever, a persistent cold or the flu, a cough, a small wound, an asthma attack, headaches, urinary tract infections, dehydration, or any other medical symptoms, you should see a general physician.

In general, general physicians can handle practically any health condition. You won't be sent to a specialist unless your condition is more serious, and when you do, your doctor will probably act as your guide. A general physician commonly treats medical issues like:

  • Endocrinological diseases such as diabetes, thyroid illness, and pituitary disease.
  • Neurological illnesses like epilepsy, dementia, and strokes
  • Respiratory conditions including pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, COPD, and pneumonia
  • Gastrointestinal: gastroenteritis and liver illness
  • Anemia's hematologic context
  • Vascular: High blood pressure and ischemic heart disease, along with fever, cold, flu, diarrhea, eczema, indigestion, allergies and many more.

Common problems you should see the General Physician for

General physicians are skilled healthcare professionals with the education and experience to identify and manage a wide range of diseases and ailments. General physicians treat a wide range of illnesses and symptoms because they are primary care providers, including upper respiratory tract infections, cough, hypertension, back or spinal pain, routine health maintenance, abdominal issues, arthritis, pharyngitis, diabetes, dermatitis, depression or anxiety, fever, pneumonia, headache, acute otitis media, fatigue, urinary tract infections, tuberculosis, sinusitis, dyspepsia, cardiovascular, tonsillitis, and parasites.


For which symptoms should one consult a General Physician?

If you have a fever, a persistent cold or the flu, a cough, a small wound, an asthma attack, headaches, urinary tract infections, dehydration, or any other medical symptoms, you should see a general physician.

A general physician uses lab tests to diagnose sickness, prescribe medication, assess your general health, and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist.

The following are examples of acute (short-term) conditions that general physicians can treat:

  • minor wounds
  • a case of asthma
  • Migraines
  • infections of the urethral tract
  • Flu and colds
  • Fever
  • Dehydration
  • small fractures
  • a rash or skin infection
  • Sprained and strained muscles
  • Your primary care doctor can also refer you to a mental health professional if the issue needs an expert care.

Chronic Illnesses: General physicians can treat chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, and some mental health issues using prescription drugs, lifestyle advice, and follow-up care.


When should I go to the General Physician?

Your general physician can address a number of symptoms, ailments, and conditions that can indicate major health problems. Always seek medical attention if a problem lasts longer than three days or doesn't seem normal. An ongoing, severe headache that throbs on one side of the head, for instance, might be a migraine, whereas a headache accompanied by a fever, vomiting, or rash might be a sign of meningitis. Menstrual problems, such as unforeseen irregular cycles, delayed periods lasting three months or longer, bleeding between periods, and others, may be signs of several serious illnesses, such as PCOD, PCOS, or thyrotoxicosis. Therefore, it's imperative to visit a doctor whenever you have a medical ailment or notice something strange about your health. A general physician can assess your general health, use lab tests to identify sickness, prescribe medication, and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist.


Do General Physicians provide home consultations?

A general physician treats a variety of illnesses with standard medical procedures. One of the many reasons a general physician or your family doctor might visit your home for a consultation is the fact that they frequently handle patients of all ages and have ongoing, regular, and long-term clientele. However, the doctor has the option to do consultations at home. For an extra consultation fee, home visits for routine tests or general checkups may be arranged. For additional information, go to https://www.lybrate.com/kolkata/general-physician to see if the doctor offers home consultations.
