Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Marcelle Abell-Rosen 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:
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Blood in your urine is a sign that needs a medical check-up. Early detection and proper care can ease your concerns and maintain your quality of life.
- Noninfectious Gastroenteritis and Colitis: If you're struggling with stomach or intestinal upset not due to an infection, you might have noninfectious gastroenteritis or colitis; with the right treatment plan, you can get relief from symptoms and maintain your active lifestyle.
- 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.
- Hypogonadism: As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, sometimes leading to hypogonadism, a condition characterized by low sex hormones. Treatment may involve hormone replacement to help alleviate symptoms and maintain a fulfilling life.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): If you're struggling with persistent indigestion, acid reflux, or a feeling of food sticking in your chest, it might be GERD, a treatable condition that can be managed with the support of your healthcare provider, leading to better digestive health and independence.
- Nasopharyngitis: Dealing with nasopharyngitis (a cold) can be frustrating, but it's typically a self-limiting illness meaning it resolves without specific treatment. Managing symptoms with rest and over-the-counter medications can help improve your comfort and well-being.
- Peripheral Autonomic Neuropathy: Peripheral autonomic neuropathy is a condition affecting the nerves that control automatic bodily functions like blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion, often leading to symptoms like dizziness or digestive issues, but with proper management, such as medication and lifestyle changes, seniors can maintain a good quality of life.
- Leg and Foot Ulcers: Developing leg or foot ulcers can be concerning, but they are treatable, and timely medical attention can help prevent complications, reduce pain, and improve your ability to walk and participate in activities you enjoy.
- Chest Pain: Experiencing chest pain can be worrying, but many causes are treatable, allowing you to live a more comfortable and independent life.
- Tobacco Withdrawal: Quitting smoking can be tough, but understanding and managing tobacco withdrawal symptoms like irritability, difficulty sleeping, and cravings can make the process easier and improve your overall health and well-being.
- Dysphagia: If you have dysphagia, it means you're having trouble swallowing, which can be frustrating, but there are ways to manage it, like changing your diet or using swallowing exercises, improving your ability to eat safely and enjoyably.
- Wheezing: That whistling sound you hear when you breathe, called wheezing, can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life.
