General Medicine- Your Queries Answered

What is it like to have a general health checkup at Porunai Hospitals?

A general health checkup is when our doctors evaluate your medical history, examine you physically, and recommend tests based on multiple factors: age, lifestyle, and health conditions. The main objectives of a general checkup are detecting potential issues and suggesting preventive measures.

How vital is adult immunisation, especially in the Indian context?

Vaccinations to protect against influenza, typhoid, hepatitis B, and pneumococcal infections are crucial in India. Adult immunisation helps to prevent these and similar diseases that affect our daily lives. Timely vaccinations are a practical step in preventive care.

In Tamil Nadu, which vaccines are most recommended?

Preventive vaccines for influenza (annually), hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap), and typhoid are recommended in Tamil Nadu and across India. Other vaccines advised include pneumococcal and Japanese encephalitis. However, these are suggested based on individual risk factors, travel, or pre-existing medical conditions.

What do you do if someone in the family has an infectious disease?

If someone in your family has symptoms of a disease or infection, isolate them, practice good hygiene, and seek medical advice. Infectious diseases spread fast. However, early detection and intervention can reduce the risks. At Porunai Hospitals, we provide timely treatment and preventive care to manage contagious diseases effectively and protect your family.
