Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Vatche Zohrabian 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:
- Nausea: Managing nausea can help you maintain your appetite, energy levels, and overall quality of life, allowing you to remain independent.
- Shortness of Breath: If you're experiencing shortness of breath, don't hesitate to seek medical attention; with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can maintain your independence and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections passed from one person to another during sexual contact, and while less common in older adults, they can still be treated effectively with antibiotics or antiviral medications to prevent complications and maintain overall well-being.
- Perimenopause: As women approach menopause, they enter perimenopause, a time of hormonal shifts that may bring about uncomfortable symptoms such as irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and night sweats; however, treatments are available to alleviate these and help maintain a good quality of life.
- Gas-Bloat Syndrome: If you're struggling with excessive gas and bloating, know that gas-bloat syndrome is manageable. Simple changes and, if needed, medical interventions can ease symptoms and help you enjoy a better quality of life.
- Overweight: Being overweight means carrying more body fat than is considered healthy, which can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis, but with a healthy diet and exercise plan, you can often manage your weight and improve your overall well-being.
- Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain can impact your quality of life, but appropriate diagnosis and treatment, often involving medication or lifestyle adjustments, can significantly reduce discomfort and improve well-being.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Noticing blood in your urine can be concerning, but it's important to know that many causes are treatable, helping you maintain your daily activities and overall well-being.
- Headache: Persistent headaches can affect your sleep, mood, and overall well-being, but with proper diagnosis and management, you can find relief and improve your quality of life.
- Mineral Metabolism Disorders: If your body isn't processing minerals correctly, it can affect your bones, muscles, and even your heart. Working with your doctor to find the right treatment plan—often involving diet and medication—can help you stay active and healthy.
- Chest Pain: Chest pain can sometimes indicate a serious condition needing immediate medical care, so it's important to seek help promptly to receive appropriate treatment and maintain your well-being.
- 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.
