Names of Diseases in Pashto

[akhan]

I don't think these ones have been asked yet:

Gastroenteritis
Cholera
Bronchitis
Stomach ulcer
Handicapped (I think I have heard manzor or something, but I could be wrong.)

You know most of the diseases have no pashto names (even if they do common people don't know the names), most of them have 'descriptions' of the symptoms of the disease...In hospitals people usually call it by the medical terms. When you take a history from a patient from the village, they don't know the complex medical terms, so you ask them questions to figure out the problem...

Maaazur-Handicapped.

That is true in my experience as well. If someone says like your stomach hurts or some diarrhea or something, I have heard it said as zama ghedah khirap de.
