It is difficult to provide a definitive answer to the question "Which disease cannot be detected?" because, with current technology, most diseases can be detected to some extent, even if the diagnosis is challenging. However, some diseases are notoriously difficult to diagnose.
According to the provided reference from Vinmec, several diseases are difficult to diagnose, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Celiac Disease
- Appendicitis
- Hypothyroidism
- Sleep apnea
- Lyme disease
- Fibromyalgia
These conditions are often difficult to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms with other diseases, lack of definitive diagnostic markers, or the subjective nature of symptoms. The reference also mentions that digestive and autoimmune disorders are often difficult to diagnose.
For example, Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. Diagnosis is often based on patient-reported symptoms and the exclusion of other conditions, making it challenging to pinpoint definitively.
Similarly, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed based on symptom criteria, such as abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, after ruling out other potential causes. There isn't a specific test to confirm IBS, making diagnosis reliant on clinical judgment and exclusion.
Therefore, while it's not accurate to say a disease cannot be detected at all, some diseases present significant diagnostic challenges.
