Disease Names in Urdu and English (بیماریوں کے نام)
About Diseases in Urdu
In Urdu, diseases are called "بیماریاں" (Bimariyan). Knowing disease names in Urdu is crucial for healthcare communication in Pakistan, whether visiting a doctor, describing symptoms, or understanding medical advice. Many common disease terms have deep roots in Urdu — "بخار" (fever), "نزلہ" (cold), and "کھانسی" (cough) are used daily. Some terms come from Arabic medical tradition, such as "سرطان" (cancer) and "تپ دق" (tuberculosis). Modern medical terms are often borrowed from English, like "ذیابیطس" (diabetes) and "ہیپاٹائٹس" (hepatitis). In Pakistan, common conditions like blood pressure (بلڈ پریشر), sugar (شوگر), and joint pain (جوڑوں کا درد) are frequently discussed, reflecting the country's major public health concerns.
