Medical Prefixes & Suffixes Explained | How to Decode Medical Terms
Hey future medics let’s talk about prefixes and suffixes, the building blocks of medical language.
Once you understand these, you don’t have to memorize every single term — you’ll start decoding them like a pro.
In this video, we’ll cover:
✅ Common prefixes like hypo- (low), hyper- (high), brady- (slow), tachy- (fast)
✅ Common suffixes like -itis (inflammation), -algia (pain), -ectomy (removal), -emia (blood condition)
✅ How to recognize and translate medical terms in seconds
This is one of the biggest “lightbulb moments” for medic students — it’s when the language finally starts making sense.
I believe in you, even if you don’t believe in yourself right now. 💙
