- Urinary Stones: Urinary stones can cause significant discomfort and interfere with your daily activities; fortunately, a family doctor can help you create a treatment plan, including medication and changes to your diet and fluid intake, to manage your symptoms and prevent further complications.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: The thinning and dryness associated with atrophic vaginitis is a common problem after menopause, but treatments like vaginal estrogen creams or lubricants can significantly improve symptoms and restore a woman's sense of well-being.
- Migraine: Experiencing migraines can be debilitating, but with the right treatment plan from your doctor, including medication and lifestyle changes, you can reduce the frequency and severity of these painful headaches and maintain your independence.

- Benign Chronic Pain Syndrome: If you have ongoing pain that's not caused by a serious illness, it might be benign chronic pain syndrome. We'll work with you to find the right combination of approaches to control your pain and help you feel better.
- Arthritis: Arthritis affects many older adults, causing joint pain and stiffness that can limit movement; however, effective treatments are available to ease pain and improve daily functioning.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a virus that can cause sores or blisters in the genital area, which can be managed with antiviral medications to reduce outbreaks and discomfort.
- Dyslipidemia: Having high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) means you have too much fat in your blood, increasing your risk of heart problems; however, with proper diet, exercise, and possibly medication, you can significantly reduce this risk and enjoy a healthier, fuller life.
- Obesity: Weight loss, even a small amount, can significantly reduce your risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis, making you feel better and more active.
- Bedsores: Bedsores, also called pressure ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure, often affecting seniors who have limited mobility.
- Fever-Induced Seizure: For older adults, a fever-induced seizure may be a sign of an underlying infection needing prompt medical attention; controlling the infection and managing the fever will help restore wellness and maintain independence.
- Difficulty With Walking: If you're finding it hard to walk, know that you're not alone. A doctor can assess the issue and work with you to create a plan that addresses your specific needs and supports your active lifestyle.
