Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Cheryl Roberson-Kouadio 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:
- Dyslipidemia: High cholesterol (dyslipidemia) is a manageable condition; with your doctor's guidance, you can use medication and lifestyle adjustments to lower your cholesterol and protect your heart health, which greatly contributes to a healthier life and better overall well-being.
- Lyme Disease: Managing Lyme disease often involves a course of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor to clear the infection and prevent potentially debilitating long-term complications.
- Limb Pain: Limb pain, whether in your arms or legs, can significantly impact your daily activities and independence, but with proper diagnosis and treatment from your doctor, you can find relief and regain mobility.
- Administrative Physical: An administrative physical is a routine checkup focusing on paperwork and updates to your medical records, ensuring your healthcare team has the most current information to best support your health.
- Osteopenia: If you have osteopenia, it means your bones are losing density, but with appropriate medical care including medication and a healthy lifestyle, you can slow this process and keep your bones strong.
- Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: If you're experiencing unusually heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, it's important to seek medical advice; your doctor can help determine the cause and recommend treatment options to reduce the bleeding and improve your well-being.
- Hypogonadism: Hypogonadism, a condition of low sex hormones, can impact your health and independence, affecting things like energy levels and bone health. Fortunately, with proper diagnosis and management, you can maintain a higher quality of life and continue enjoying your favorite activities.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: Think of seborrheic dermatitis as a common skin problem causing redness and flaking, especially on the scalp or face; with proper care, you can control the symptoms and avoid any major disruptions to your daily routine.
- Reflux Esophagitis: Reflux esophagitis, or acid reflux, happens when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort that can be managed with lifestyle changes and medication, improving your daily comfort.
- Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, often causing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes fever, which can be treated with rest, fluids, and sometimes antibiotics to ease discomfort and speed recovery.
- Acne: Even if you haven't had acne before, it can develop later in life due to hormonal changes or other factors. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to help manage breakouts and improve your overall well-being.
- Fever: Managing a fever involves monitoring your temperature, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest. If the fever is high or persists, seeking medical advice ensures appropriate care and helps maintain your overall well-being.
