Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Aleydis Onitiri 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:
- Earwax Buildup: Earwax buildup is a natural occurrence that can affect hearing in older adults; however, with appropriate cleaning or professional assistance, this issue can be easily resolved, maintaining the joy of clear sound and communication.
- Hypothyroidism: Dealing with hypothyroidism involves managing its symptoms, like tiredness and cold intolerance, through medication and a supportive healthcare plan to maintain a fulfilling life as you age.
- Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in and around the rectum and anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding, but with proper care, you can manage the symptoms and maintain your comfort.
- Hair Loss: If hair loss is impacting your self-esteem, talking to your doctor can lead to identifying the underlying cause and discovering potential treatments to improve your appearance and confidence.
- Mild Asthma: Mild asthma means your airways sometimes narrow, causing occasional wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath, but it's manageable with a plan to keep symptoms under control and ensure you can maintain your active lifestyle.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: Acute lower respiratory infections are common lung illnesses that can cause coughing and breathing difficulties, but with prompt medical attention, including medication if needed, seniors can often recover quickly and maintain their independence.
- Nail Infection: A nail infection, also called onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that can cause discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of the toenail or fingernail, making everyday activities like walking or dressing more difficult, but with treatment, you can regain comfort and mobility.
- Bronchitis: Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs, often causing a cough and making it hard to breathe comfortably.
- Hyperkalemia: Hyperkalemia is a condition where there's too much potassium in your blood, which can be managed with medication and dietary changes to help you stay healthy and independent.
- Mastodynia: For many women, particularly as they age, experiencing breast pain (mastodynia) is manageable through simple lifestyle changes and medication, improving their daily comfort and wellbeing.
- Hypertension: Hypertension, often called high blood pressure, means your heart is working harder than it should to pump blood. Regular checkups and following your doctor's advice on medication and diet can help you maintain your independence and energy levels.
- Urinary Incontinence: Experiencing accidental urine leakage? You're not alone; urinary incontinence affects many older adults, and with the right care plan including exercises, medication, or devices you can regain control and improve your quality of life.
