Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Rajnish Puri 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:
- Esophagitis: Experiencing heartburn or trouble swallowing? Esophagitis, an inflammation of the food pipe, might be the cause, and with the right treatment from your doctor, you can find relief and maintain your independence.
- Enlarged Prostate (BPH): Experiencing urinary urgency, hesitancy, or a weak stream? An enlarged prostate (BPH) may be the cause, but many effective treatments are available to help you regain control and reduce discomfort.
- Ganglion Cyst: A ganglion cyst is a non-cancerous lump that typically develops on the back of the wrist or hand, often causing no symptoms; if it’s painful or affects your daily activities, treatments like aspiration or minor surgery can provide relief and help maintain independence.
- Swine Flu: If you're concerned about swine flu, know that it's a viral infection that commonly causes flu-like symptoms, and your doctor can prescribe medications to shorten the illness and prevent serious health issues, promoting better independence.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a viral infection affecting the genital area, causing painful sores. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing outbreaks through antiviral medication, helping you maintain your independence.
- Dizziness: Experiencing dizziness can be unsettling, but many causes are treatable, allowing seniors to regain confidence and maintain their independence through appropriate medical care.
- Viral Hepatitis: Managing viral hepatitis involves monitoring your liver health and following your doctor's recommendations, leading to a better quality of life and avoiding serious complications.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) is a concerning decline in older adults marked by unintentional weight loss, decreased activity, and sadness. Working with a healthcare team to uncover and address the root causes can help restore their health and improve their enjoyment of life.
- Folic Acid Deficiency: Folic acid deficiency occurs when your body doesn't have enough of this essential vitamin, which is crucial for making red blood cells and can lead to fatigue and weakness, but it's easily managed with supplements improving your energy levels.
- Wheezing: Wheezing is a whistling or sighing sound during breathing, often caused by narrowed airways, and managing it can help you breathe easier and stay active.
- Headache: Experiencing headaches? Don't let them control your day; a simple chat with your doctor can help find the cause and determine the best treatment to relieve your pain.
- Impetigo: For older adults, impetigo can be easily managed with simple antibiotic treatments; quick healing from this contagious bacterial skin infection minimizes discomfort and preserves your independence.
