Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Nicolas Breuer 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:
- Urinary Incontinence: Experiencing accidental urine leakage can be embarrassing, but it's a very manageable condition. Your doctor can help find the right solution to improve bladder control and your overall comfort.
- Fever: Feeling feverish? It's important to let your doctor know as a fever can indicate an underlying illness requiring medical attention, which can impact your overall health and independence.
- Hernia: A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakness in the abdominal wall; your doctor can explain treatment options that may involve surgery to repair the weakness and alleviate discomfort or avoid worsening.
- Diabetes With Renal Manifestations: Diabetic kidney disease is a complication of diabetes where your kidneys aren't working as well as they should; with proper treatment, including managing blood sugar and potentially dialysis, you can improve your overall well-being and maintain your independence.
- Sinusitis: If you're struggling with persistent headaches, nasal congestion, and facial pressure, you may have sinusitis, a common infection of the sinuses; appropriate treatment from your physician will bring relief and improve your quality of life.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: For women experiencing discomfort or distress due to menopausal or postmenopausal changes, understanding treatment options—ranging from medication to natural therapies—can lead to improved management and a better quality of life.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): Living with COPD means your airways are narrowed, making it challenging to breathe comfortably, yet managing this condition through proper medication and therapies helps maintain independence and mobility.
- Pharyngitis: A sore throat, medically known as pharyngitis, can be uncomfortable, but thankfully, many cases clear up on their own with home care like staying hydrated and resting your voice.
- Leg and Foot Ulcers: These sores on your legs or feet can be uncomfortable and limit your activity, but treatments like special dressings, medication, and regular checkups can help them heal and prevent further complications, so you can maintain your active lifestyle.
- Tinnitus: If you're struggling with tinnitus, that persistent ringing or buzzing in your ears, know that it's a manageable condition, and treatment options can help reduce the noise and its impact on your daily life and quality of sleep.
- Animal Allergies: Animal allergies happen when your immune system mistakenly reacts to pet dander, saliva, or other animal substances, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, or rash, but these can often be managed with medication and avoiding triggers to improve your comfort.
- Vertigo: Feeling like you're spinning or that the world is moving around you is called vertigo, and it can be quite unsettling, however, your doctor can identify the cause and suggest ways to lessen the dizziness and improve your balance.
