Therapist Lyubavina denied the existence of the diagnosis of “pre-infarction condition”
Some popular diagnoses that doctors regularly give patients do not exist, said cardiologist and therapist Olga Lyubavina. Several non-existent diagnoses by the doctor listed in a conversation with Doctor Peter.
Lyubavina denied the existence of the diagnosis “VSD” (“SVD” or “NCD”). “Under the mysterious abbreviations lies the so-called vegetative-vascular dystonia. This diagnosis, popular in Soviet and post-Soviet times, was used by doctors to explain ailments such as rapid heartbeat and a feeling of lack of air, fainting, headaches, lightheadedness, and so on,” she listed. The doctor clarified that such symptoms may hide real diseases.
Additionally, she continued, there is no diagnosis of pre-heart attack because it is impossible to predict when a heart attack or stroke will occur. The doctor also doubted the existence of gardnerellosis, mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis, since all the pathogens that cause them are representatives of conditionally pathogenic flora. “If they are simply there, but there is no clinic, there is nothing to treat. And even if they rebel, we are talking about the development of bacterial vaginosis,” she said.

In addition, Lyubavina continued, there is no dysbacteriosis, since problems with microflora are just one of the symptoms of another disease that requires diagnosis and treatment. Sand in the kidneys, she added, is also not a diagnosis, but the initial stage of urolithiasis, which can occur if lifestyle and diet are not adjusted in a timely manner.
Finally, the doctor doubted the existence of vitamin deficiency, the symptoms of which may also indicate other pathologies.
If we talk about such a condition, then the correct term is hypovitaminosis, a lack of substances, and vitamin deficiency is their complete absence; in the modern world, this practically does not occur (this is scurvy, beriberi disease, and so on). Vitamin deficiency includes any ailments, decreased performance in the off-season, drowsiness, and so on.
Previously, general practitioner Ekaterina Ladygina advised Russians to regularly eat pomegranates. She said these fruits contain a unique compound called urolithin A, which improves muscle strength, exercise performance, reduces cartilage degeneration and relieves joint pain.
