If you have multiple symptoms and an unclear diagnosis, or have been diagnosed with a "systemic disorder", the expert opinion of an Internal Medicine physician can help. Internal Medicine covers acute and chronic conditions that may involve multiple organs, which can present with subtle symptoms or a broad variety of signs that impact quality of life. Your physician will investigate the underlying cause, provide the right treatment, and liaise with colleagues of other specialties when appropriate.
When to seek an internal medicine review
- Unexplained weight loss
- Vague abdominal symptoms
- Malaise or fatigue
- Other non-specific symptoms, such as sweating
- Multiple medical conditions and polypharmacy, particularly with age
