Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Evan PA-C 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:
- Salivary Gland Stones: As we age, we can sometimes develop salivary gland stones, which are tiny mineral deposits blocking saliva flow; treatment can usually relieve discomfort and help maintain a healthy diet.
- Menopause: Menopause, the permanent cessation of menstruation, can bring about physical and emotional symptoms, but effective management through hormone replacement therapy, alternative treatments, and healthy lifestyle choices significantly improves the comfort and quality of life during this time.
- Foot Infection: A foot infection can be painful and limit mobility, but early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics or antifungal medications, alongside appropriate wound care, can promote healing and help you maintain your daily routines.
- Lymphangitis: If you notice red streaks spreading from a sore or wound, it might be lymphangitis, a skin infection affecting the lymphatic vessels. Your doctor can prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection and prevent it from spreading.
- Enzyme Disorder Anemia: A deficiency in specific enzymes can disrupt the production of red blood cells, resulting in anemia; however, treatments focusing on enzyme replacement or addressing the underlying cause can significantly improve energy levels and overall well-being.
- Impulse Control Disorders: Impulse control disorders involve difficulty resisting urges to do things that could be harmful, and with proper treatment, seniors can regain control and improve their quality of life.
- Head and Neck Conditions: Head and neck conditions, such as sinus infections or dental issues, can impact your ability to eat, sleep, and socialize, but with the right medical attention, you can improve your quality of life and maintain your active lifestyle.
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.
