“General medication” refers to common drugs for everyday issues (like pain relievers, antacids) or the field of medicine dealing with common illnesses, but it also relates to generic drugs—affordable versions with the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, sold after patents expire. Key categories include analgesics (pain), antibiotics (infections), antihistamines (allergies), and drugs for chronic issues (diabetes, hypertension). Understanding both common medications and generic options is key for health management, with examples like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or metformin (Glucophage) showing how generics provide cost-effective treatment.

General surgery is a broad medical specialty focusing on the abdomen (digestive tract, liver, gallbladder), breast, skin, soft tissues, endocrine system (thyroid, parathyroid), and trauma, acting as a foundation for other surgical fields with core knowledge in healing, anatomy, and patient care. General surgeons diagnose and treat conditions like hernias, gallstones, appendicitis, and cancers, often using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy, endoscopy) and managing pre-op, surgical, and post-op care for a wide range of illnesses.

Gynaecology & Obstetrics (OBGYN) is a combined medical field focused on women's reproductive health, with Obstetrics handling pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, and Gynaecology dealing with the female reproductive system's overall health, including diseases, contraception, menopause, and infertility. OBGYNs manage everything from routine wellness exams and family planning to high-risk pregnancies, surgeries, and cancers, serving as primary care providers for many women's health needs.
