Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Eric Isenman 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:
- Prostatitis: Experiencing pain or difficulty urinating? Prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate, may be the cause, and a doctor can help find the right treatment plan to ease your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Leukocytopenia: Leukocytopenia means your body has fewer infection-fighting white blood cells than usual; your doctor can work with you to identify the cause and develop a plan to minimize your risk of getting sick.
- Mineral Metabolism Disorders: Mineral metabolism disorders affect how your body processes important minerals, potentially leading to symptoms like fatigue or muscle cramps; however, with proper diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, you can feel stronger and more energetic.
- Secondary Diabetes Mellitus: Secondary diabetes means something else in your body is causing your blood sugar levels to become too high. Fortunately, managing both the underlying condition and your blood sugar levels can significantly improve your health and prevent serious issues.
- Dehydration: Dehydration can make everyday tasks feel more difficult, but by staying well-hydrated and possibly working with your doctor to find the root cause, you can regain strength and easily maintain your daily routines.
- Asthma: Asthma is a lung condition causing wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, often managed with inhalers to help you breathe easier and live more comfortably.
- Bedsores: Bedsores, also called pressure ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure, often affecting people who have difficulty moving.
- Eczema and Contact Dermatitis: Eczema and contact dermatitis are skin conditions causing itchy, inflamed rashes, often managed with creams and avoiding irritants to improve comfort and prevent scratching.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection affecting the bladder or kidneys that can lead to painful urination and discomfort. With the right medication prescribed by your doctor, you can effectively manage a UTI and continue enjoying your daily life.
- Dysentery: If you're experiencing persistent diarrhea with blood or mucus (dysentery), it's crucial to seek medical help; it often responds well to treatment, preventing further complications and improving your overall well-being.
- Hypoglycemia: If you have diabetes, understanding the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as weakness or irritability, is essential; knowing how to treat low blood sugar quickly and safely enhances your quality of life and reduces the risk of falls or accidents.
- Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR): PMR is an inflammatory condition affecting older adults, leading to aches and stiffness, but thankfully, it usually responds well to medication, helping you regain your energy and independence.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
