Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Eduardo Arturo 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:
- Dry Skin: Dealing with dry skin can be easier than you think – simple changes like using mild soaps and lukewarm water can make a big difference in your comfort level.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Imagine sharp, shocking facial pain – that's trigeminal neuralgia. Doctors can often help manage this with medication and other therapies to reduce pain and maintain your independence.
- Proteinuria: Proteinuria means there's too much protein in your urine, which can sometimes indicate a problem with your kidneys.
- Insomnia: Experiencing insomnia means struggling to get enough restful sleep, which can leave you feeling tired and irritable during the day; however, many effective strategies and medical interventions are available to help improve your sleep.
- Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis, or a sore throat, may be caused by a virus or bacteria. Your doctor can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment to help you feel better faster and prevent complications.

- Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Managing hypotension involves understanding your triggers and adjusting medications or lifestyle to keep your blood pressure stable and prevent complications.
- Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): For older adults, eczema can be uncomfortable, but treatments like moisturizers and medicated creams can effectively reduce itching and inflammation, helping you live more comfortably.
- Dysphagia: Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing, a common problem that can make eating and drinking challenging, but with the right care and strategies, you can still enjoy your meals and maintain your independence.
- Acute Bronchitis: Acute bronchitis is a short-term inflammation of the bronchial tubes, resulting in a cough; your doctor can help manage your symptoms to reduce discomfort and prevent complications, keeping you healthy and active.
- Leukocytopenia: Having too few white blood cells, called leukocytopenia, can make you more vulnerable to infections, but with proper medical care and monitoring, we can help keep you safe and comfortable.
- Headache: Managing headaches effectively, whether through medication or lifestyle changes, helps maintain your independence and allows you to continue participating in the activities you love.
