Patient Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this infection viral or bacterial? Do I need antibiotics?

Many infections are viral and improve with supportive care, symptom control and monitoring. Bacterial infections, such as strep throat or a urinary tract infection, may require antibiotics. Influenza may also be treated with an antiviral medicine such as Tamiflu when identified early. A clinical assessment and, where appropriate, rapid testing can help determine the right treatment.

Why am I tired all the time?

Tiredness can have several causes, including low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems or diabetes. Lifestyle and sleep habits can also contribute. Assessment normally includes a full history and examination, with investigations such as blood tests when needed to identify the cause and guide treatment.

Do I need blood tests?

Blood tests can help identify the cause of symptoms and can also detect risk factors that may not cause obvious symptoms, such as high cholesterol. Whether testing is needed depends on the concern and the findings from your consultation.

Should I be worried about this lump or mole?

A suspicious lump or mole should be reviewed by a doctor. Many lumps are benign cysts and many moles are harmless, but an assessment can check for warning signs. Further investigation may include an ultrasound for a lump or a dermatology referral and biopsy for a mole when clinically indicated.

Could this be something serious?

The answer depends on the symptoms and the underlying problem. Some deficiencies are straightforward to treat with supplements, while conditions such as high blood pressure may require long-term management. Other concerns may be mild and settle with time. A medical assessment helps clarify the cause and the appropriate next step.

What can I do without medication?

Lifestyle choices can play an important role in improving health and preventing or managing illness. Diet, exercise, weight management, sleep, stress management, appropriate supplements and not smoking can all support physical wellbeing. Depending on the problem, allied health support such as physiotherapy or chiropractic care may also be considered.

After having abdominoplasty, muscle repair, 360 lipo and facial lipo with Dr. Maurizio the results were life changing. He is a true expert who genuinely cares about his patients and provides exceptional after care, all of his clinicians are very experienced and supportive. These procedures are significant and it’s crucial to go to the best experts with strong reputations. Within 4 weeks I was travelling and back to normal, and the procedure was done without drains. I would highly recommend Dr.Maurizio!
