Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Tetyana Metyk 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:
- Diabetes With Renal Manifestations: Diabetes with kidney problems means your diabetes is affecting your kidneys' ability to filter waste, but with careful management and medication, you can protect your kidneys and maintain your health.
- Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: A blood clot forms in a vein, often in the leg, causing pain, swelling, and potentially serious complications, but prompt treatment with blood thinners can prevent it from traveling to the lungs and affecting breathing.
- Wheezing: Wheezing indicates a problem with airflow in your lungs; however, with your doctor's care, you can receive treatment to reduce or eliminate the wheezing and maintain your daily routines.
- Overweight: Having extra weight can sometimes make managing other health conditions more difficult. A tailored weight management plan, including diet adjustments and increased activity, can help control your weight and improve the management of these other health concerns.
- Actinic Keratosis: These rough, scaly patches, called actinic keratosis, are often a result of sun exposure, and your dermatologist can help you remove them to maintain healthy skin and improve your confidence.
- Intestinal Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis, characterized by inflamed pouches in your intestines, might cause abdominal pain, but effective treatments and preventive strategies, including dietary adjustments, will help reduce discomfort and maintain your health.
- Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia can lead to widespread pain and exhaustion, making daily tasks challenging, but a multi-faceted approach, combining medication, exercise, and stress management, can significantly help you maintain your independence and well-being.
- Reflux Esophagitis: With proper management, reflux esophagitis can be controlled, allowing you to enjoy meals and maintain your independence without constant discomfort.
- Hypoxemia: If you have hypoxemia, it means the oxygen levels in your blood are too low. Working with your doctor to find the cause and address it with appropriate treatment can significantly improve your comfort and well-being.
- Acute Sinusitis: Acute sinusitis is a temporary infection of the sinuses that causes discomfort, such as facial pain and pressure; with appropriate medical care, you can find relief and return to your usual activities.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Changes in vaginal health, like vaginitis or vaginosis, are common and often manageable with simple treatments. Your doctor can help identify the cause and recommend the right approach to restore vaginal balance and alleviate any symptoms.
- Hypokalemia: Low potassium, or hypokalemia, can affect your heart rhythm and muscle strength, making daily tasks difficult; however, addressing this imbalance through dietary changes, supplements, or medication can significantly improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
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.
