General Medicine

A general medicine practitioner commonly referred to as a GP is a medical doctor who specializes in many diseases affecting the body, and whose primary treatment does not involve surgery.

General practitioners are trained to provide care for patients of all ages. This includes treatment for adults, adolescents, and children. Some general medicine practitioners may choose to become family doctors, treating patients of all ages and genders.

A GP will provide treatment of acute non-life-threatening diseases, early detection and referral to a specialized doctor for patients with serious diseases, and preventive care including health education and immunization. They are highly knowledgeable of all types of branches of medicine but are unlikely to conduct surgeries or complex medical procedures.

Dr Girish Kirad has vast experience as a consultant physician. He is the best internal medicine doctor in Kharadi.

Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Infertility

Gynecology and obstetrics are twin subjects that deal with the female reproductive system. While obstetrics deals with pregnancy and its associated procedures and complications, gynecology involves treating women who are not pregnant.

The field of obstetrics thus deals with the well-being of the pregnant mother as well as the delivery and healthy outcome. Obstetricians closely work with pediatricians and neonatologists to deal with care of the newborn baby to reduce the chances of mortality and disease of the newborn.

In general, infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year (or longer) of unprotected sex. Because fertility in women is known to decline steadily with age, some providers evaluate and treat women aged 35 years or older after 6 months of unprotected sex.

General and Laparoscopic surgery

At Kirad Nursing Home the Department of General and Laparoscopic Surgery is equipped with sophisticated instruments to carry out complex yet simple Laparoscopic surgeries. The procedure of Laparoscopy uses an instrument called a laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front. The instrument is inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall. As it moves along, the camera sends images to a video monitor. It is often used for surgeries occurring in the gallbladder, liver, pancreas, small intestine, and large intestine (colon)spleen, stomach, pelvic or reproductive organs.

Adult Vaccination

Adults need to keep their vaccinations up to date because immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time. You are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. Vaccinations are readily available for such common adult illnesses as influenza (flu), pneumococcal disease, herpes zoster (shingles), human papillomavirus (HPV), pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Vaccinations against less common diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella (German measles), tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria and varicella (chickenpox) are also needed by some adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations clearly identify people who are at risk for these diseases and who should be immunized to prevent these diseases and their complications. Consult your healthcare provider or local health department regarding your own immunization status as well as current immunization recommendations.

Pathology

Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples), bodily fluids, and in some cases the whole body (autopsy). Aspects of a bodily specimen that may be considered include its gross anatomical makeup, the appearance of the cells using immunological markers, and chemical signatures in the cells. Pathology also includes the related scientific study of disease processes whereby the causes, mechanisms, and extent of disease are examined. Areas of study include cellular adaptation to injury, necrosis (death of living cells or tissues), inflammation, wound healing, and neoplasia (abnormal new growth of cells). Pathologists specialize in a wide range of diseases including cancer and the vast majority of cancer diagnoses are made by pathologists. The cellular pattern of tissue samples is observed under a microscope to help determine if a sample is cancerous or non-cancerous (benign). Pathologists also employ genetic studies and gene markers in the assessment of various diseases.

X-ray

X-rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white. Fat and other soft tissues absorb less and look gray. Air absorbs the least, so lungs look black. The most familiar use of x-rays is checking for fractures (broken bones), but x-rays are also used in other ways. For example, chest x-rays can spot pneumonia. Mammograms use x-rays to look for breast cancer.

Nonstress Test

Mothers and babies who need special medical care and extra attention may need a nonstress test (NST). An NST is a simple, painless procedure. We will be monitoring your baby’s heartbeat, which is a way of evaluating your unborn baby. We will listen to and record the baby’s heartbeat while the baby is resting and while the baby is moving. It usually takes 20 to 40 minutes to complete an NST. It’s called a nonstress test because the test won’t bother your baby. Your doctor won’t use medications to make your baby move. The NST records what your baby is doing naturally.

ENT

An ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) specializes in everything having to do with those parts of the body. They’re also called otolaryngologists. ENTs deal with anything that has to do with the head, neck, and ears in adults and children

Rheumatology

A rheumatologist is an internist or pediatrician who received further training in the diagnosis (detection), and treatment of diseases that affect the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These diseases can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and potentially cause joint deformities. An old-fashioned word for these problems is “rheumatism.” Therefore, a “rheumatologist” is a doctor that treats rheumatism.
