Don't ignore these diseases! Some of these diseases require emergency treatment.
August 10, 2026

Phnom Penh – Expert doctors at Orienda Hospital remind the public not to overlook or delay seeking emergency medical care when experiencing abnormal symptoms related to neurology, orthopedics (bone fractures, trauma, and joints), and general surgery. Below are the emergency warning signs for each department that you should be aware of:
1. Neurology: Stroke can occur suddenly. If treatment is delayed, millions of brain cells will die.
Warning signs: One-sided facial drooping, mouth asymmetry, weakness on one side of the arm or leg, slurred speech, confusion, or a sudden severe headache, among others.

2. Orthopedics, Trauma, and Joints: Severe injuries from various accidents, open fractures (bone protruding through the skin), severe swelling leading to pale/cyanotic skin or a lack of pulse in the extremities (Compartment Syndrome), and major joint dislocations (hip or knee joints), among others.

3. General Surgery: Unusually severe abdominal pain can be a sign of inflammation or organ perforation (Acute Abdomen), requiring immediate surgery.
Warning signs: Severe lower right abdominal pain (appendicitis), a rigid/board-like abdomen, severe abdominal bloating, constipation accompanied by an inability to pass gas, or severe abdominal pain with paleness, among others.

Doctors at Orienda International Hospital emphasize that taking pain relievers only temporarily masks symptoms and can make the condition far worse. Therefore, if you observe these symptoms, please bring the patient to a hospital equipped with specialist doctors and adequate medical equipment immediately.
