Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jonathan Dychko 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:
- Nausea: Nausea is that queasy, uneasy feeling in your stomach that can make you feel like you might vomit.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs are infections of the bladder or kidneys that often cause painful urination and discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment by your doctor can prevent more serious health issues and allow you to stay active and healthy.
- Tobacco Use Disorder: It's common for older adults to develop a tobacco use disorder, but help is available to quit and reduce the risks to their lungs, heart, and overall health, enhancing their independence and enjoyment of life.
- Nail Infection: If you notice a painful or discolored nail, it could be an infection. Seeking prompt medical attention can lead to effective treatment and prevent the infection from spreading or becoming more serious, thus preserving your independence.
- Constipation: Treatment for constipation can include simple lifestyle changes like dietary adjustments and over-the-counter medications, improving bowel regularity and overall well-being.
- Shortness of Breath: If you're experiencing shortness of breath, don't hesitate to seek medical attention; with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can maintain your independence and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Intestinal Diverticulitis: Intestinal diverticulitis is a condition where small pouches in your intestines become inflamed or infected, causing discomfort but often manageable with medical care and lifestyle changes.
- Acute Upper Respiratory Infection: URIs are infections of your upper airways, like your nose and throat, causing congestion, cough, and sometimes fever. Gentle home care, including plenty of rest and fluids, will usually help you recover comfortably and quickly.
- Urinary Incontinence: If you're struggling with unexpected urine leaks, know that you're not alone. Treatment options are available, ranging from pelvic floor exercises to medication, to help regain control and enhance your quality of life.
- Pharyngitis: While a sore throat (pharyngitis) can be bothersome, especially for older adults, simple treatments like gargling with salt water and drinking warm liquids can often provide significant relief.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) is a concerning decline in older adults marked by unintentional weight loss, decreased activity, and sadness. Working with a healthcare team to uncover and address the root causes can help restore their health and improve their enjoyment of life.
- Foot Infection: A foot infection is a bacterial or fungal infection in the skin, nails, or deeper tissues of the foot, often causing pain, swelling, and redness, which can be treated with antibiotics or antifungal medications to prevent serious complications and help you stay mobile.
