Classification of Diseases

. The world of medicine adheres to an established system of categorizing diseases based on their similarities and commonalities.
  • Diseases of internal organs – a group of diseases affecting human organs from the inside, which are treated with medical drugs and methods without surgical intervention.
  • Surgical diseases – a category of diseases that require surgical treatment.
  • Oncologic diseases – a type of disease based on uncontrolled cell reproduction.
  • Genetic diseases – diseases caused by abnormalities in the structure of genes.
  • Diseases of the reproductive system – diseases related to the process of pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Infectious diseases – diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
  • Venereal diseases – infections that are primarily sexually transmitted.
  • Skin diseases – diseases whose main symptom is skin changes.
  • Eye diseases – diseases affecting the eyes.
  • Ear, nose, and throat diseases.
  • Nutrition-related diseases – diseases arising from improper or inadequate nutrition.
It is important to realize that there are no completely isolated cases of diseases of individual organs or tissues. As a rule, any disease covers the effect on the whole organism, although it may have a major manifestation in a particular organ or system. In the process of disease development, a significant role is played not only by its root cause and the state of the human immune system, but also by the external environment, living conditions, and psychological state.
