Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Razvan Chirila 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:
- Animal Allergies: Dealing with animal allergies can be challenging, but with the right strategies such as allergy medication, regular cleaning, and possibly avoiding direct contact with pets, you can maintain a good quality of life and enjoy the company of furry friends from a safe distance.
- Acute Bronchitis: If you've developed a cough and chest congestion, it might be acute bronchitis, a temporary lung infection that often resolves on its own with supportive care, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Hyperlipidemia: Having high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) means there's too much fatty substance in your blood, potentially harming your heart, but managing it through healthy eating, exercise, and possibly medication can help you live a long and fulfilling life.
- Diabetic Polyneuropathy: Diabetic polyneuropathy is nerve damage from uncontrolled diabetes, causing tingling, burning, or numbness, primarily affecting the extremities. Working with your healthcare team on a treatment plan—including blood sugar control and possibly medication—can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
- Urinary Incontinence: Many effective treatments exist for urinary incontinence, helping seniors regain confidence and reduce the impact on daily routines and social interactions. Don't hesitate to speak with your doctor.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD, or acid reflux, is a common condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort, but with the right approach and medication, you can effectively manage your symptoms and maintain a comfortable life.
- Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, can cause symptoms like tiredness and weight gain, but it's easily managed with medication, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life and stay active.
- Osteoarthritis: As we age, osteoarthritis, a common form of joint wear and tear, can develop, causing pain and stiffness, but with your doctor's guidance, you can manage symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Hernia: Hernias are essentially a weakness in the body's wall allowing internal contents to protrude, and fixing the weakness, often through surgery, can greatly enhance your comfort levels and restore normal function.
- 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.
- Gastroptosis: A dropped stomach, medically termed gastroptosis, might cause some digestive upset, but thankfully, most cases are managed through dietary modifications and regular exercise, leading to improved comfort and well-being.
- Dysentery: Dysentery is a serious intestinal infection causing severe diarrhea, often bloody, that can lead to dehydration and weakness, but with prompt medical attention, you can recover and feel better.
