Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Naila Khan 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:
- Gastroparesis: Gastroparesis is a condition where your stomach empties food too slowly, leading to discomfort, but with the right care and medication, you can manage your symptoms and enjoy your meals more.
- Cough: A cough is a common reflex that helps clear your airways, but persistent coughing can disrupt sleep and daily life, so it's important to find the cause and get appropriate treatment.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): COPD involves ongoing damage to your lungs, making it difficult to take deep breaths, but medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes can significantly improve your breathing and quality of life.
- Leukocytopenia: Having too few white blood cells, called leukocytopenia, can make you more vulnerable to infections, but with proper medical care and monitoring, we can help keep you safe and comfortable.
- Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Low blood pressure can be managed through careful monitoring and lifestyle changes, including diet and fluid intake, helping you feel stronger and more energetic.
- Yeast Infections: A yeast infection is an overgrowth of a fungus naturally found in the body; treatment usually involves antifungal creams or pills, restoring comfort and preventing further issues.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): A transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke, is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain that causes stroke-like symptoms, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly without lasting damage, highlighting the importance of seeking immediate medical attention to prevent a more serious stroke.
- Mastodynia: Breast pain (mastodynia) can be uncomfortable, but with proper diagnosis and management strategies from your physician, such as medication or supportive bras, many women find significant relief, allowing them to maintain their independence.
- Nighttime Urination (Nocturia): Experiencing nocturia doesn't mean you have to accept poor sleep; working with your healthcare provider to identify and treat underlying causes can significantly reduce nighttime awakenings and improve your overall health.
- Chronic Venous Embolism Thrombosis: Chronic venous embolism thrombosis is a persistent blood clot problem in the veins. Your doctor can help you develop a management plan, which might include medication and compression stockings, to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and lessen discomfort to improve your overall well-being.
- Obesity: Obesity is having excess body fat that can increase the risk of health problems, but with careful diet and exercise plans, you can manage it and improve your overall well-being.
- Bedsores: Regular repositioning, proper nutrition, and supportive surfaces can significantly reduce the risk of developing bedsores and help maintain independence.
