Extra Insights

Suffixes act like little signposts in the medical world, guiding us to understand what is going on! They tell us if we’re dealing with a procedure, condition, or a specific body part. For example, in ‘hemorrhage,’ the suffix ‘-hage’ indicates a bursting, signaling something serious – like a bleeding disorder that requires attention.
When you’re combining word roots in medical terminology, it’s vital to remember that a combining vowel, often ‘o’, pops in between two roots if the second root begins with a consonant, not a vowel. So, if you’re joining ‘gastr’ (stomach) and ‘enter’ (intestine), you will get ‘gastroenteritis,’ adding that ‘o’ to smoothly bridge the two worlds of the stomach and intestines!
