Patient health concerns and symptoms

Structured paths for patients who start from a symptom, a question or a specific health concern — not from the name of a specialty.

• Back pain — diagnosis and treatment in Gdańsk — Back pain can be caused by overload, injury, degenerative changes or a neurological problem. At ProfessMed you can start with a consultation and be directed to the right diagnostic and treatment path.
• Dizziness — when to see a neurologist or an ENT specialist — Dizziness may stem from inner-ear, neurological, vascular or systemic problems. Good diagnosis starts with a careful history of what the dizziness actually feels like.
• Urinary incontinence — when to see a urologist — Urinary incontinence can affect women and men of any age. It is important to establish the type of problem and the situations in which the symptom gets worse.
• Snoring — when to see an ENT specialist — Snoring is often dismissed, but it can be linked to obstruction of the airways and affect sleep quality and everyday functioning.
• Memory problems — when to book a neurology consultation — Difficulties with memory and concentration can have various causes: from chronic stress and insomnia to neurological or metabolic disorders.
• Joint pain — orthopaedist or rheumatologist? — Joint pain may be related to overload, degeneration, inflammation or injury. The right treatment path depends on the type of symptoms and how long they have lasted.
• Rehabilitation after an injury — when and where to start — After an injury, what matters is not only tissue healing but also a safe return to movement. The plan depends on the type of injury, the pain, the swelling and the current functional limitations.
• Neurology consultation in Gdańsk — when it is worth booking — A neurology consultation may be needed for headaches, numbness in the limbs, dizziness, memory problems or other symptoms of the nervous system.
• Mole and skin lesion removal — when to see a surgeon — Most moles are benign, but a mole that changes in appearance, bleeds or is constantly irritated is worth showing to a doctor. The surgeon assesses the lesion and, where indicated, removes it under local anesthesia.
• Ingrown toenail — when to see a surgeon — An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail plate grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness and swelling. It most often affects the big toe.
• Sebaceous cyst and lipoma — when to remove a lump under the skin — Sebaceous cysts and lipomas are common, usually benign lumps that can be felt under the skin. Whether and how they should be removed is decided by the surgeon after assessing the lesion.
• Chronic wounds, pressure ulcers and leg ulcers — when to see a surgeon — A wound that does not heal despite proper care needs to be assessed by a doctor. The surgeon assesses the wound, chooses the treatment and plans further care — including for pressure ulcers and leg ulcers.
