Diseases Treated

NIDDM

NIDDM, also known as Type 2 diabetes, occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin. It leads to elevated blood glucose levels, which can cause complications like heart disease, kidney problems, and nerve damage. Lifestyle changes, exercise, and medications help manage this condition effectively.

IDDM

IDDM, or Type 1 diabetes, is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It leads to insulin deficiency, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Managing blood glucose levels through insulin injections, diet, and exercise is crucial to prevent complications such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy.

Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high. It can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring are essential for managing hypertension.

CAD

Coronary Artery Disease occurs when the coronary arteries, supplying blood to the heart, become narrowed due to plaque buildup. It reduces blood flow to the heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks and chest pain (angina). Treatment includes medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgical interventions like angioplasty.

Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia, or high cholesterol, refers to elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, contributing to plaque formation in arteries. This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Managing it involves dietary changes, regular exercise, and medications like statins to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health.

Stomach Problems

Stomach problems like ulcers, APD (Acid Peptic Disease), and gastritis involve inflammation or sores in the stomach lining. Symptoms include pain, nausea, and indigestion. Treatment includes antacids, lifestyle changes, and sometimes antibiotics for bacterial infections. Avoiding spicy foods and stress management can help prevent flare-ups.

IBD

IBD refers to chronic digestive conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis that cause inflammation in the intestines. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms with medication, and adopting a diet low in irritants to prevent flare-ups.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to red, scaly patches. It commonly affects the scalp, elbows, and knees. Treatment options include topical creams, light therapy, and systemic medications to control flare-ups and reduce inflammation.

Eczema

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a condition that causes the skin to become inflamed, itchy, and dry. It may be triggered by allergens, irritants, or stress. Topical steroids, moisturizers, and lifestyle adjustments help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways, causing them to become inflamed and narrow, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Inhalers (bronchodilators) and anti-inflammatory medications help manage symptoms and prevent attacks.

Allergy

Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust, or certain foods. Symptoms include sneezing, itching, and swelling. Treatments include antihistamines, nasal sprays, and in some cases, allergy shots. Avoiding allergens and managing triggers is key to prevention.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys, causing pain, urinary issues, and sometimes blood in the urine. Treatment depends on the stone’s size and location, ranging from increased fluid intake and medications to surgical removal. Preventing recurrence involves dietary changes and staying hydrated.

Urinary Tract Infection

A UTI is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, commonly the bladder or urethra. Symptoms include painful urination, frequent urination, and cloudy urine. UTIs are treated with antibiotics, and preventive measures include proper hygiene, staying hydrated, and urinating after intercourse.

Renal Failure

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste effectively. Pre-dialysis treatment aims to slow down kidney deterioration through medications, diet, and lifestyle adjustments. Post-dialysis care involves managing fluid balance, controlling blood pressure, and preventing infections to ensure the patient’s well-being.

Obesity

Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive body fat, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Weight management through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and behavioral therapy is crucial for reducing health risks and improving quality of life.

Infertility

Infertility is the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can be due to various factors, including hormonal imbalances, blocked fallopian tubes, or low sperm count. Treatment options include medication, surgery, and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF (in vitro fertilization).

Fatty Liver

Fatty liver occurs when there is an excess of fat in the liver cells, which can lead to inflammation and liver damage. Causes include excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and poor diet. Treatment involves weight loss, dietary changes, and managing underlying conditions like diabetes.

Migraine

Migraine is a type of headache characterized by severe pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Triggers include stress, hormonal changes, and certain foods. Treatments include pain-relieving medications, lifestyle modifications, and avoiding known triggers.
