Who is an internist?
An internist is a physician specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of internal organ disorders in adult patients. An internist assesses overall health, conducts comprehensive examinations, and recommends further diagnostics or treatment plans. Internists also perform preventive check-ups and screening tests to detect chronic conditions early, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, liver or kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders.
Issues you should see an internist for
During a consultation, the internist asks targeted questions, reviews medical history, and evaluates symptoms to provide an accurate diagnosis. You should consider scheduling an appointment with the internist if you experience:
- Persistent digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting);
- Urinary problems (frequent/painful urination, weak stream, blood in urine);
- Chronic or acute chest pain;
- Breathing difficulties (shortness of breath, chronic cough);
- Frequent/severe headaches, especially with accompanying symptoms;
- Prolonged fever of unknown origin;
- Unexplained fatigue or weight loss;
- High blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes management.
An internist consultation is also crucial for persistent or recurrent infections, chronic inflammation, metabolic disorders, or suspected internal organ diseases. Internists often collaborate with other specialists to coordinate long-term treatment and monitor disease progression.
Conditions treated by an internist in Bratislava
The internist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of internal organs in adult patients. For more complex or unclear cases, the internist may recommend consultations with other specialists to refine the diagnosis and develop targeted treatment plans. Internists manage a wide range of conditions, including:
- Gastrointestinal diseases (for example, gastritis, peptic ulcers, reflux, infectious gastroenteritis);
- Cardiovascular diseases (high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, varicose veins, thrombosis);
- Urinary tract infections and inflammation (for example, cystitis, pyelonephritis);
- Musculoskeletal disorders (arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis);
- Respiratory diseases (chronic bronchitis, asthma, COPD);
- Endocrine system disorders (type 2 diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders);
- Certain skin manifestations associated with internal diseases (for example, rashes caused by allergies or autoimmune diseases).
Internists also provide viral and bacterial care for infections such as influenza, pharyngitis, bronchitis, or urinary tract infections. As part of their practice, they may also treat minor injuries such as bumps or sprains, especially if they are related to the patient's health.
Initial consultation with an internist in Bratislava
An initial consultation with an internist involves a comprehensive evaluation of current complaints, ongoing medical history, and overall health status. The consultation is then followed by a thorough physical examination, including percussion, auscultation, palpation, and other diagnostic techniques as needed.
When indicated, the internist may recommend additional tests such as laboratory analyses or on-site rapid tests (for example, C-reactive protein (CRP test)), or immediate ECG diagnostics.
Based on the gathered data, the doctor will make a preliminary or final diagnosis, recommend any necessary further laboratory or imaging examinations, and develop a treatment plan including medication prescriptions if required. If the diagnosis falls outside the internist's scope of practice, the doctor will refer the patient to an appropriate specialist (neurologist, gastroenterologist, or oncologist).
Follow-up consultation with an internist in Bratislava
During the follow-up medical examination, the internist establishes an accurate diagnosis based on test and examination results, selects treatment methods, and develops a treatment plan. A follow-up consultation with the internist may also be necessary to monitor treatment progress, adjust previously prescribed treatment, or provide recommendations for relapse prevention.
Preventive examination with an internist in Bratislava
Preventive examinations are recommended at least once a year, regardless of any existing health problems. They are mandatory for people working in hazardous conditions. Preventive examinations with an internist are essential for:
- Early disease detection;
- Assessment of all body system functions;
- Reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
During the preventive examination, the doctor may order analyses and tests to check key health indicators and identify any abnormalities. The doctor can also provide recommendations regarding lifestyle changes, nutrition, and physical activity.
