Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Mona Fakhry 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:
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): COPD is a long-term lung disease that can cause shortness of breath and coughing, however, with consistent medical attention, including regular check-ups and medication, you can control your symptoms and live a fulfilling life.
- Atherosclerosis: Think of atherosclerosis as a gradual clogging of your arteries; managing it through diet, exercise, and medication helps keep your heart strong and allows you to stay active and independent.
- Wheezing: If you're experiencing wheezing, it's a sign that your airways might be constricted, making breathing difficult, but treatment can improve your comfort and overall well-being.
- Coccygeal Pain: Discomfort in your tailbone area, known as coccygeal pain, can often be managed with simple strategies like posture adjustments, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relievers, improving your daily comfort and independence.
- Noninfectious Gastroenteritis and Colitis: Noninfectious gastroenteritis and colitis are conditions causing inflammation in the stomach and intestines, often leading to diarrhea, cramping, and discomfort, but usually not caused by an infection; managing symptoms with diet and medication can help maintain comfort and daily routines.
- Mononucleosis: If you suspect you or a loved one has mononucleosis, it's important to focus on managing symptoms like fatigue and fever with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers to help maintain comfort and daily function.
- Muscle Weakness: Losing muscle strength can be frustrating, but with a proper assessment and personalized plan from your doctor, you can safely and effectively build back muscle strength and improve your overall well-being.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Blood in the urine, or hematuria, may be a sign of a minor issue or something more serious, but prompt medical attention can lead to effective diagnosis and management to improve your health.
- Phlebitis and Thrombophlebitis: Experiencing pain, swelling, or redness along a vein? Phlebitis or thrombophlebitis might be the cause, and early treatment, often involving medication and lifestyle changes, can prevent complications and keep you comfortable.
- Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Excess fluid buildup leads to swollen limbs, which can be uncomfortable and affect your ability to walk or do other things, however, proper medical care can alleviate this discomfort and help you maintain your active lifestyle.
- Acute Pharyngitis: If you're struggling with a sore throat (acute pharyngitis), it's important to seek medical attention to determine the cause—viral or bacterial—so that appropriate treatment can be provided, improving your comfort and overall well-being.
- Foot Infection: Untreated foot infections can lead to serious problems, but early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics or antifungals can quickly resolve the infection, protecting your foot health and your overall well-being.
