Medical History

The medical history is the structured clinical consultation used to record a patient's health background. It encompasses information on pre-existing conditions, allergies, current medication, family history, lifestyle habits, and, where relevant, psychological factors. The patient's individual expectations regarding treatment also play a role. The medical history forms the basis for selecting the most appropriate treatment and for assessing potential risks. In addition, physical examinations and imaging procedures such as ultrasound or X-ray may be required.
