Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Quirino Toledo 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: Managing perimenopausal or postmenopausal bleeding requires medical attention to identify its cause and to find appropriate treatment, relieving discomfort and improving a woman's overall health.
- Lipid Disorders: Managing lipid disorders involves monitoring your blood fat levels and making necessary adjustments to your diet and exercise routine, with medication if needed, to help you stay healthy and active as you age.
- Hyperkalemia: Hyperkalemia means your body has too much potassium, which can be addressed by adjusting medications or your diet; this will help ensure your comfort and safety.
- Acute Pharyngitis: Acute pharyngitis, or a sore throat, is a common infection causing pain and discomfort in the throat, often relieved with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Menopause is a natural part of aging for women, but it can sometimes bring on bothersome symptoms like vaginal dryness or sleep disturbances. Fortunately, various options like lifestyle adjustments or hormone therapy can relieve symptoms and improve daily life.
- Wheezing: If you're experiencing wheezing, it's a sign that your airways may be narrowed, making it harder to breathe. Treatment can help open your airways and make it easier to breathe comfortably and stay active.
- Diabetes Type 1: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that impacts how your body processes sugar; working closely with your healthcare team through regular check-ups and careful management will help you stay healthy and independent.
- Itchy Skin: Dealing with itchy skin can be frustrating, but understanding the cause whether it's dryness, allergies, or a medical condition allows for targeted treatment and better quality of life.
- Wrist Sprain or Strain: A sprained or strained wrist can be painful and limit your movement, but with proper care, including supportive bracing and pain management, you can recover and continue enjoying your favorite activities and maintain your daily routine.
- Polyuria: Polyuria means you're urinating more often than usual, which can be disruptive to sleep and daily life, but understanding the cause and managing it can significantly improve your comfort and independence.
- Muscle Cramping: Uncomfortable muscle cramps can impact your sleep and ability to move freely, but with proper diagnosis and treatment from your doctor, you can find relief and keep enjoying your independence.
- Ingrown Nail: An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling, but simple home care and sometimes a doctor's visit can ease discomfort and prevent infection.
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.
