Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Todd Rosenthal 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:
- Acute Bronchitis: Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways in your lungs, leading to a cough and sometimes shortness of breath; with appropriate care, you can manage symptoms and quickly return to your normal activities.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) reflects a decline in an older adult's overall health, often involving physical symptoms like weight loss and weakness, along with decreased social engagement. Addressing the underlying causes, whether medical, social, or environmental, can significantly improve their well-being and quality of life.
- Testicular Dysfunction: Testicular dysfunction encompasses a range of issues affecting the testicles, and it's important to talk to a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and discuss management options, such as hormone replacement therapy, if needed.
- Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Hypotension, or low blood pressure, can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, but with careful monitoring and treatment, we can help you manage it and stay safe.
- Muscle Spasm: That sudden, intense muscle tightening you feel is a spasm. While they can be disruptive, simple home treatments, combined with advice from your doctor, can significantly reduce pain and help you stay active and engaged.
- Malaise and Fatigue: Feeling constantly tired and unwell is common as we age, but it's important to understand that underlying medical conditions or medication side effects can be the cause, and these can often be managed to improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Menopause-related health concerns, including vaginal dryness and bone loss, can be addressed through medical interventions and self-care strategies, often preserving health and vitality in later life.
- Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland, meaning it doesn't produce enough hormones to keep your body functioning at its best, but with medication, you can feel more energetic and manage your symptoms effectively.
- Enlarged Prostate (BPH): Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous prostate enlargement that often causes frequent urination, weak urine stream, and nighttime bathroom trips; however, effective treatments are available to ease these symptoms.
- High Cholesterol: Having high cholesterol means you have higher levels of fatty substances in your blood, which can harm your arteries, however, manageable with lifestyle changes and/or medication to prevent serious health problems and maintain your independence.
- Malnutrition: Malnutrition is a serious condition where your body lacks vital nutrients, impacting your ability to heal and fight off illness, making it crucial to address it promptly with the help of a healthcare professional.
- Anemia: Anemia, a decrease in red blood cells, can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness; working with your doctor to identify and address the underlying cause is crucial for restoring your health and improving your quality of life.
