A general surgeon is a doctor who performs a wide variety of surgeries to treat different health problems. They don’t focus on just one part of the body but can operate on many areas, like the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and skin. They often remove things like tumors, fix hernias, and take care of injuries or infections inside the body. Before surgery, they help figure out what’s wrong, and after surgery, they monitor the patient’s recovery. They are trained to handle emergency surgeries too, like fixing a burst appendix or treating a serious injury.
An orthopedic surgeon is a doctor who specializes in treating problems with your bones, joints, and muscles. If you break a bone, tear a muscle, or have issues with your knees, hips, or spine, for example, they are the ones who can help fix it. They use surgery or other treatments to repair injuries or correct conditions that cause pain or make it hard for you to move. Some common surgeries they perform include fixing broken bones, replacing worn-out joints (like hip or knee replacements), and repairing torn ligaments.
A vascular surgeon is a doctor who specializes in treating problems with your blood vessels, like arteries and veins. These are the “highways” that carry blood around your body. If you have issues like blocked arteries, weak blood vessels, or blood clots, a vascular surgeon helps fix those problems to keep your blood flowing properly. They use surgeries, small procedures, and sometimes non-surgical treatments to prevent serious issues like strokes, heart attacks, or problems with your legs or other parts of your body.
A spine surgeon is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating problems with the spine, which is the backbone. If someone has issues like back pain, spinal injuries, or conditions like a slipped disc or scoliosis (curved spine), a spine surgeon helps figure out what’s wrong. They can recommend treatments such as physical therapy or medications, but if these don’t work, they may perform surgery to fix the problem. Surgery could involve removing a damaged part of the spine, realigning it, or putting in special devices to support the spine and help it heal. Their goal is to relieve pain and improve how a person moves and functions.
A urologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating problems related to the urinary system and the male reproductive system. They help with things like bladder infections, kidney stones, problems with urinating, and issues with male reproductive organs. If someone has trouble with these parts of the body, a urologist is the doctor who can help fix or manage the problem.
A podiatrist is a doctor who specializes in treating problems with your feet, ankles, and lower legs. If you have issues like foot pain, injuries, bunions, or even toenail problems, a podiatrist can help diagnose and treat them. They can also provide advice on how to keep your feet healthy and may recommend special shoes or inserts to support your feet.
