Therapy is a branch of medicine that studies internal diseases, their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
This is precisely the area of competence of the doctor-therapist, who is a specialist with a broad profile.
The doctor-therapist begins the interaction with the patient by collecting the medical history, performing an objective examination, and uses radiological tests to clarify the diagnosis: X-rays, ultrasound diagnostics, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopic examination, and laboratory tests.
The mentioned discipline is closely related to pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, hematology, and rheumatology.
The manifestation of symptoms in therapy depends on the damage to these systems.
Symptoms that may occur in various diseases include:
- Increased temperature
- Cough, nausea
- Change in skin color
- General weakness
- Pain of various locations, including joint and bone pain, and others.
The doctor-therapist treats conservatively (with medication).

Therapy and Internal Diseases
The mentioned discipline is closely related to pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, hematology, and rheumatology.
The manifestation of symptoms in therapy depends on the damage to these systems.
Symptoms that may occur in various diseases include: increased temperature, cough, nausea, change in skin color, general weakness, pain in various locations, including joint and bone pain, and others.
The doctor-therapist treats conservatively (with medication). Based on the diagnosis, the therapist refers the patient to the relevant specialist.
Here is an overview of the main methods used in therapy:
- Study, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention: As already mentioned, therapy covers a wide range of internal diseases and focuses on comprehensive examination, accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and preventive measures. Many of these diseases can significantly impact human health, making timely intervention by the doctor-therapist crucial.
- Patient History Review: The doctor-therapist begins interaction with the patient by thoroughly reviewing their medical history (anamnesis) and then performs a detailed physical examination. This process allows the doctor to gather necessary information about the patient's health.
- Diagnostic Tools: Therapists use a wide range of diagnostic tools to establish an accurate diagnosis. These tools include X-ray (radiography), ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopy, and laboratory tests. All of these tools are necessary for timely identification of the underlying causes of the patient's symptoms.
- Interrelated Disciplines: Therapy is closely connected with several specialized medical fields, including pulmonology (respiratory diseases), cardiology (heart diseases), gastroenterology (digestive system disorders), neurology (nervous system disorders), hematology (blood disorders), and rheumatology (musculoskeletal and autoimmune diseases). The doctor-therapist often works together with specialists in these fields to ensure the most effective treatment process.
- Common Symptoms: Patients with internal diseases often experience a variety of symptoms, including fever (increased body temperature), cough, palpitations, changes in skin color, general weakness, and different types of pain, including joint and bone pain. The therapist has the necessary knowledge and experience to identify these symptoms promptly and determine their underlying causes.
- Treatment Approaches: Doctors-therapists generally use conservative treatment methods, often involving the prescription of pharmaceutical medications. They develop personalized treatment plans to promote the patient’s rapid recovery.
- Referrals: After diagnosing the condition, the therapist may refer the patient to a relevant specialist for further evaluation and treatment if necessary.
In summary, therapy is a vital medical discipline focused on internal diseases and offers comprehensive care to patients. The diagnostic skills of the doctor-therapist, knowledge of interconnected medical fields, and ability to provide conservative treatment and referrals all contribute to the timely improvement of the patient’s condition.
