Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Miguel Trevino 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:
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders refer to problems with a woman's menstrual cycle, such as irregular bleeding or painful periods, which can be managed with medication or other treatments to improve comfort and overall well-being.
- Dry Skin: Dry skin, a common problem as we age, can be soothed with gentle moisturizers and regular hydration, helping you feel more comfortable and confident.
- Migraine: Experiencing migraines can be challenging, causing intense head pain and disrupting your routines. However, working with your doctor to find the right treatment plan, which may include medication or therapies, can dramatically improve your quality of life and allow you to maintain your independence.
- Lyme Disease: Lyme disease symptoms can vary widely, from a characteristic rash to flu-like symptoms, so it's important to see a doctor if you suspect a tick bite to get tested and treated if needed.
- Postherpetic Neuralgia: If you've had shingles, you may develop postherpetic neuralgia, a type of nerve pain that can persist even after the rash has healed. Your doctor can discuss treatment options to help control your pain and allow you to enjoy your life.
- Nasopharyngitis: If you're experiencing nasopharyngitis (a common cold), know that most symptoms, like sneezing and a runny nose, will subside within a week or two. Plenty of rest and fluids can help support your body's natural healing process and make you feel better faster.
- Muscle Cramping: Experiencing muscle cramps? These are often temporary and treatable, helping you stay active and independent.
- Hives: Hives, or urticaria, are itchy, raised welts on the skin that can appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly, often caused by an allergic reaction or other irritation, and can be managed with over-the-counter medications to relieve itching and discomfort, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): A TIA is a brief period of reduced blood supply to the brain, causing temporary neurological symptoms such as confusion or trouble speaking; quick diagnosis and treatment are crucial to minimizing the risk of future, more severe events and preserving your quality of life.
- Hypoxemia: Hypoxemia is a condition where your body isn't getting enough oxygen. Treatment, often involving adjusting medications or using oxygen therapy, aims to restore healthy oxygen levels and help you live a fuller life.
- Bronchospasm: Experiencing shortness of breath due to bronchospasm can be frightening, but it's treatable. Your doctor can prescribe a plan to manage these episodes and help you maintain your independence.
- Eczema and Contact Dermatitis: For seniors, eczema and contact dermatitis can be especially uncomfortable, but effective treatment plans, including moisturizing and avoiding irritants, can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the need for assistance.
