Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Yanet Diaz-Martell 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:
- Common Cold: A common cold is a very common viral infection that causes symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and coughing; while not usually serious, managing these symptoms can help you stay comfortable and maintain your daily activities.
- Fever: While a low-grade fever might resolve on its own, a high fever needs prompt medical attention to prevent complications and allow you to maintain your usual activities.
- Intestinal Diverticulitis: Managing diverticulitis often involves a combination of medication to fight infection and a carefully planned diet to minimize flare-ups, supporting your well-being and helping you remain independent.
- Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence is the unintentional leakage of urine, a common but treatable problem that can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, or other therapies to help maintain dignity and independence.
- Tonsillitis: If you have tonsillitis, you might feel quite unwell with a painful throat, but it's important to know that medical intervention, including antibiotics if needed, can effectively treat the infection and help restore your comfort and ability to enjoy life.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: An acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is a sudden infection in your lungs or airways, which might cause you to cough, feel tired, or have trouble breathing; with the right care, you can effectively manage symptoms and maintain your overall well-being.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection of the bladder or kidneys that can cause discomfort like burning during urination and frequent bathroom trips, but with prompt treatment from your doctor, you can feel better quickly and maintain your independence.
- Muscle Spasm: A muscle spasm is a sudden, involuntary tightening of a muscle that can cause pain and stiffness, often relieved with gentle stretching and over-the-counter pain relievers, improving your comfort and mobility.
- All Headaches (incl. Migraine): Many older adults experience headaches, and effective management, such as medication or lifestyle changes, can dramatically lessen their impact on your quality of life.
- Leukocytopenia: Leukocytopenia means your body has fewer infection-fighting white blood cells than usual; your doctor can work with you to identify the cause and develop a plan to minimize your risk of getting sick.
- Dehydration: If you're experiencing dry mouth, less frequent urination, or unusual fatigue, dehydration could be the cause, a condition easily managed with appropriate hydration strategies to maintain your independence.
- Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis, or a sore throat, may be caused by a virus or bacteria. Your doctor can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment to help you feel better faster and prevent complications.
