Geriatric Medicine

Geriatric medicine is the medical branch that deals with offering quality health-care by addressing the illness in older adults. Due to old age, the body loses its regenerative properties significantly. As a result, the medical condition gets complicated, making the treatment approach quite challenging as compared to young people. Geriatricians are specialists who are expert in evaluating how multiple medical conditions affect one another in older people and how to offer the best possible treatment and care.

Some of the most common conditions seen among older people are as follows

• Hearing Loss
• Memory Loss
• Osteoporosis And Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Parkinson’s And Alzheimer’

• Cognitive Impairment
• Urinary Tract Infection
• Urine Inconsistency

Though there is no particular age as to when one should seek consultation from a geriatrician. However, any individual over the age of 65 is recommended to seek geriatrician care for better treatment.
