Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Yawer Nensey 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:
- 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.
- Esophageal Ulcer: If you're experiencing heartburn or difficulty swallowing that's persistent, it could be due to an esophageal ulcer, which can typically be managed with medication to ease pain and promote healing, thereby increasing your comfort and appetite.
- Alcoholic Hepatitis: Alcoholic hepatitis is liver inflammation caused by excessive alcohol use, which can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications to reduce liver damage and improve your overall health.
- Cachexia: Cachexia, characterized by significant muscle loss and weakness, can be effectively managed with a combination of nutritional support and medical treatments to help you maintain your independence.
- Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: EDS makes the body's connective tissues weaker than normal, leading to flexible joints, stretchy skin, and potential internal organ issues; care involves managing symptoms, protecting vulnerable joints, and adapting daily routines for comfort and safety.
- Alcoholic Hepatic Failure: If excessive alcohol use has harmed your liver, leading to alcoholic hepatic failure, a team of healthcare providers can work with you to manage the symptoms and improve your quality of life, including managing pain and helping you stay active and engaged.
- Duodenitis: Duodenitis is an inflammation of the duodenum, the first part of your small intestine, that can cause discomfort but is often treatable with dietary changes and medication, helping you maintain your daily routines.
- Vitamin_Deficiency: A lack of essential vitamins can cause various symptoms, from weakness to impaired cognitive function, but getting the right vitamins through diet or supplements can help you stay active and maintain your independence.
- Hypokalemia: Hypokalemia means you have a deficiency of potassium in your blood, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness and tiredness; your doctor can help you manage this through dietary changes, medication, or both, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Hepatitis B: If you have hepatitis B, it means you have a virus infecting your liver, but don't worry – your doctor can help you manage the infection and improve your overall 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.
- Colorectal Polyp: A colonoscopy allows your doctor to find and remove colorectal polyps before they become cancerous, helping you maintain your health and independence for many years to come.
