Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Janmejay Shaktawat 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:
- Bedsores: Managing bedsores involves preventing further pressure, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using special dressings to promote healing, thus enhancing comfort and preventing infection.
- Phosphorus Metabolism Disorders: Phosphorus is vital for many bodily functions, and if your levels are off, it can affect your health. Working with your doctor, you can develop a management plan, potentially including diet modifications or medication, that helps you feel stronger and healthier.
- Wheezing: If you're experiencing wheezing, it's a sign that your airways might be constricted, making breathing difficult, but treatment can improve your comfort and overall well-being.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Many women experience atrophic vaginitis, a thinning and dryness of the vaginal lining, after menopause; this can be addressed with estrogen creams, vaginal moisturizers, or other options to relieve discomfort and improve overall well-being.
- 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.
- Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain, or stomach ache, can be a sign of various issues, from indigestion to more serious conditions, and prompt medical attention can ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
- Hyperkalemia: If you have hyperkalemia, your doctor can work with you to adjust your medications and diet to bring your potassium levels to a safe range, ensuring your heart remains strong.
- Testicular Dysfunction: Experiencing changes in sexual function or other symptoms related to the testicles should prompt a visit to your doctor, as testicular dysfunction can often be addressed through effective medical intervention, enhancing your comfort and well-being.
- 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.
- Itchy Skin: Dealing with itchy skin can be frustrating, but identifying the cause—like a dry skin condition or allergic reaction—allows for targeted treatment and better skin health.
- 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.
- Hyperlipidemia: If you have hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), it's important to know that it's a common condition treatable with diet changes, exercise, and sometimes medication. These changes can help protect your heart and maintain your overall well-being.
