Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Adrian Kochno provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Shortness of Breath: Experiencing shortness of breath? It's a signal that something may need attention, and through proper medical care and lifestyle changes, you can regain your breath and energy.
- Malnutrition: Malnutrition, often overlooked, can significantly affect your quality of life and independence; working with your doctor or a dietitian can help develop a tailored plan to ensure you receive the proper nutrients to maintain your health.
- Constipation: Addressing constipation promptly is important for older adults as it can affect energy levels, comfort, and overall health, significantly improving daily life with proper care.
- Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: An acute venous embolism thrombosis means a blood clot has formed in a deep vein and may travel to your lungs, causing breathing difficulties; early diagnosis and treatment with blood thinners are crucial to reduce risks and maintain your independence.
- Anemia: Feeling unusually tired or weak? Anemia might be the cause, as it involves a deficiency of red blood cells; your doctor can help determine the underlying reason and develop a treatment plan to improve your strength and daily functioning.

- Hernia: Sometimes, internal organs can push through a weak area in the muscle, creating a hernia, which can be corrected with surgery or other treatments to improve your comfort and prevent further issues.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) reflects a decline in an older adult's overall health, often involving physical symptoms like weight loss and weakness, along with decreased social engagement. Addressing the underlying causes, whether medical, social, or environmental, can significantly improve their well-being and quality of life.
- Venous Embolism and Thrombosis: If you have VTE, blood clots in your veins, early diagnosis and treatment with blood thinners are crucial to prevent the clot from traveling to your lungs, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Urinary Incontinence: Many effective treatments exist for urinary incontinence, helping seniors regain confidence and reduce the impact on daily routines and social interactions. Don't hesitate to speak with your doctor.
- Fever: While a low-grade fever might resolve on its own, a high fever needs prompt medical attention to prevent complications and allow you to maintain your usual activities.
