Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Mildred Trevett 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:
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a dangerous blood clot in a deep leg vein that can be treated effectively with medication, significantly lowering the risk of severe consequences, keeping you comfortable and able to enjoy life to the fullest.
- 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.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): STDs are infections spread through sexual activity, and even though they're often associated with younger people, older adults can still contract them. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing long-term health problems.
- Migraine: Migraines are severe headaches that can cause throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, along with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, and managing them can significantly improve your comfort and daily life.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Experiencing sudden weakness, dizziness, or vision changes? It might be a TIA, a temporary brain blood flow disruption. Getting immediate medical help is vital to prevent a larger, more debilitating stroke and to protect your long-term health and independence.
- Postherpetic Neuralgia: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a nerve pain that can develop after a shingles outbreak, causing persistent burning, tingling, or shooting pains in the affected area, and it's treatable with medication to help manage the pain and improve your comfort.
- Hypoglycemia: Experiencing symptoms like sweating, heart palpitations, or blurred vision may indicate hypoglycemia, where your blood sugar is dangerously low; working with your doctor to create a personalized management plan keeps you safe and comfortable.
- Diabetic Polyneuropathy: High blood sugar over time can damage the nerves throughout your body, a condition called diabetic polyneuropathy that often shows up as numbness or pain in your feet and hands. Good blood sugar control is key to slowing its progression and improving your quality of life.
- Ringworm: Ringworm, despite its name, isn't caused by a worm but a fungus that creates a ring-shaped rash on your skin; prompt treatment with medication from your physician can clear up the rash and prevent discomfort.
- Gait Abnormality: Changes in your walking style, like shuffling or stumbling, can be a sign of a gait abnormality; understanding the cause can help your doctor create a plan to help you maintain your independence.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Vaginal dryness and thinning (atrophic vaginitis) are common issues for women after menopause, sometimes causing painful intercourse or urinary problems; thankfully, this condition is manageable with various treatments that restore comfort and preserve intimacy.
- Warts: Warts, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be successfully treated with various methods, helping you maintain your independence and self-esteem.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
