What is a Symptom?
Symptom: Any subjective evidence of disease. A symptom is a phenomenon
that is experienced by an individual. Anxiety, lower back pain, and fatigue are
all symptoms. They are sensations only the patient can perceive. In contrast, a
sign is objective evidence of disease. A bloody nose is a sign. It is evident to
the patient, doctor, nurse, and other observers.
What is a Sign?
Sign: Any objective evidence of disease. A sign can be detected by a
person other than the affected individual. Gross blood in the stool is a sign of
disease. It can be recognized by the patient, doctor, nurse, or others. In
contrast, a symptom is, by its nature, subjective. Abdominal pain is a symptom.
It is something only the patient can know.
Find a symptom or sign of disease by using the Symptom Checker (for
men or
for
women), or the Symptoms and Signs A-Z list. Alternatively, if you know the
spelling of your medical symptom, simply use the search function below.
It is very helpful to evaluate symptoms and signs in diagnosing the causes of
health problems and in monitoring the status of diagnosed diseases. Moreover,
assessment of symptoms and signs is important during treatment with medications
in order to determine the effectiveness of treatment and the development of side
effects.
