Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

They can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, insect bites, or contaminated food and water.

Symptoms vary but often include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, and digestive issues.

Diagnosis involves physical examinations, medical history review, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, and imaging.

Treatments may include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, and supportive care depending on the type of infection.

The procedure typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the number of electrodes implanted.

There are open, laparoscopic, and robotic hernia repair surgeries, each with specific benefits and suited for different types of hernias.
