Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Enthesopathy is a blanket term for any condition affecting the entheses — the attachment sites of bones to tendons or ligaments. Ensopathies develop from a disease or injury and may be temporary or chronic. Many cases are preventable and treatable.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) develops in response to the use of psychiatric medications. The cause is not clearly defined, though research shows abnormal brain chemistry plays an important role. People with NMS require prompt diagnosis and treatment to make a full recovery with no lasting effects.

The human brain is a topic that has intrigued creators throughout history. They imagine creative scenarios involving the keeping, transplanting, and removal of this organ. The reason that creators find it fascinating is its association with our thoughts.
 
Our brain is the center of our nervous system. As such, it controls most of the functions in our body. However, some functions, like the heart pumping blood, happens independently of the brain. 
 
Brains are susceptible to damage, disease, and infection. It is vulnerable to degenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. It is also susceptible to psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and depression. Many of the conditions that affect our brains are hereditary. What this means is, we are genetically predisposed to them. Knowing your medical history is a great way to protect this central organ. Doctors use medical imaging, like EEGs, to scan the brain and make accurate diagnoses. Doctors treat some of its conditions can with therapy, instead of medication.

Lung hyperinflation impairs the lungs' ability to empty. It occurs as a complication of breathing disorders that cause physical and functional changes to the airway, resulting in inadequate exhalation. Hyperinflated lungs may lead to more critical complications, though the condition is treatable.

Breathing is something most of us take for granted. However, if you have difficulties breathing or suffer from certain diseases, you can benefit from respiratory therapy. It usually includes diagnostic procedures, critical care procedures (for example, asthma management and ventilation management), and therapeutic procedures.

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of respiratory problems. Smokers and people with chronic lung illnesses are at higher risk of developing a disease. Most often, antibiotics can effectively treat infections.

Your doctor can also prescribe specific therapeutic devices for your respiratory condition, for example, humidifiers, ventilators, suction equipment, and oximeters. These are necessary for people who have difficulty breathing on their own.

If you are on home oxygen therapy, special equipment can tell whether your oxygen saturation is adequate. You should also use special devices to monitor and record your condition regularly. Your doctor will be able to adjust your treatment plan based on this data.

There are many different types of cancer and it can start in any part of the body. Cancer is when cells start to grow and mutate, therefore, crowding the body and pushing out the normal healthy cells. Cancer can also spread from one part of the body to another, and its severity is referred to in as stages 1 to 4.

&nbsp;

Its hard to pin down specific cancer only symptoms as it goes hand in hand with many ailments such as weight loss, night sweats, a cough, problems going to the toilet, aches and pains and sores that won’t heal. However, if you find a lump under the skin in any area of your body, a doctor should check you immediately.

&nbsp;

Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are the most common forms of cancer treatment. The type of treatment you will need depends on the type of cancer it is, as it will respond differently if it is in the form of a tumor, or in the blood or bones.

A peptic ulcer is a defect in the wall of the stomach or small intestine. Peptic ulcers are most often caused by infection or excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs and are generally treatable with antibiotics and antacids.

Way too often, illness appears out of nowhere: for example, you wake up at night with intense stomach pain. Or you stumble while carrying something heavy, and can't get through the day without pain.
Stomach pain is an extremely common problem, but most often it is easy to deal with. Your doctor can recommend a product to relieve the pain. The most common cause is gastroenteritis - a viral infection of the stomach, which your immune system can fight on its own, in addition to taking proper medicine.

&nbsp;
Severe stomach pain that makes you feel very ill (it can also cause fever or chills) could be due to a more serious condition or food poisoning. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should visit your doctor to receive treatment.

&nbsp;
If you have agonizing pain in any area of your belly, seek immediate medical help. It may be a sign of a serious illness, for example, appendicitis, that will only get worse without treatment.
