Other Conditions

At Destiny Internal Medicine, we address a wide range of other health conditions besides conventional health concerns. In addition to commonly seen physical conditions like cardiovascular issues, metabolic and hormonal disorders, and mental health issues, we also focus on less-discussed health challenges often overlooked in daily life. 

Our dedicated team offers comprehensive care and tailored medical assistance to create personalized treatment plans based on your unique health condition and individual needs.

Headaches & Migraines

Headaches can result from various factors such as stress, tension, dehydration, or even an underlying medical condition. Migraine is a type of headache characterized by severe throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea. 

Treatment options for headaches may include lifestyle adjustments, stress management, and medications to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.

Anemia

Anemia is a condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin that can cause fatigue and weakness in your body. Underlying causes of anemia can range from nutritional deficiencies to chronic diseases. 

The most common type of anemia is iron deficiency anemia. You may experience symptoms like paleness, fatigue, and shortness of breath when anemic. 

Treatment involves iron or vitamin supplements, dietary changes, and managing the underlying health conditions.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability to achieve and sustain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. 

Addressing erectile dysfunction involves understanding both physical and psychological factors. It can result from vascular issues, hormonal imbalances, or psychological stress. 

Treatment may include the use of medications like Viagra, making lifestyle changes, and addressing underlying health conditions. Counseling for addressing psychological issues will also help.

Eczema

Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching, and redness. Although eczema is more common in young children, it can occur at any age. 

Treatment for eczema includes identifying triggers such as allergies and genetic causes and using moisturizers. In severe cases, topical or oral medications are prescribed to manage inflammation.

Vertigo

Vertigo can arise due to various reasons, including inner ear issues, migraines, or neurological conditions. Vertigo can lead to symptoms ranging from a spinning sensation to lightheadedness impacting your daily life, leading to instability and disorientation. 

Dizziness or vertigo can be a symptom of other underlying conditions like fatigue, weakness, anemia, and more. Our treatment plans are tailored to address your specific underlying cause. Vertigo can also be managed through medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications.

Malaise

Malaise can be described as weakness, discomfort, and an overall feeling of not feeling well. It can result from various health conditions, such as infections and chronic illnesses, and your lifestyle choices. 

A thorough evaluation to identify the cause can be beneficial to tailor treatment plans for malaise. It may include lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, and treatment of the underlying cause. 

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard, crystalline deposits that form in the kidneys when substances such as calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus become concentrated and form solid masses ranging in size from tiny grains to large-sized stones.

Kidney stones can cause severe pain in the back or side as they pass through the urinary tract. Other symptoms may include blood in the urine, frequent urination, and discomfort during urination.

Our approach to kidney stones involves understanding their composition and causes. The treatment depends on the size and type of the stone. 

Small stones may pass through the urinary tract with increased fluid intake and pain management, while larger stones may require medical interventions, such as medications or surgical removal.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and disabling neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, including your brain and spinal cord. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, known as myelin, leading to inflammation and damage.

The symptoms of multiple sclerosis can vary widely depending on the location and extent of the nerve damage. Common symptoms include fatigue, numbness, muscle coordination, and difficulties with coordination. 

The treatment of multiple sclerosis aims to manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and enhance the quality of your life. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive and irreversible condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. Kidneys are crucial organs that filter waste products from your blood, produce urine, and maintain the body's overall fluid and electrolyte balance. 

This condition can lead to severe complications related to the accumulation of waste products in the body. Common causes of CKD include diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic kidney disease. 

Early detection and management of underlying causes, lifestyle modifications, and medical interventions are key aspects of managing chronic kidney disease and slowing its progression. 

Ear Cleaning

Ear cleaning, also known as ear hygiene or ear care, refers to the process of maintaining cleanliness and health in the ears. 

Ear cleaning is a routine part of preventive care that involves removing excess earwax, debris, and other substances from the ear canal to prevent discomfort, hearing problems, and potential infections. 

Our skilled healthcare practitioners provide comprehensive ear-cleaning services. Ear cleaning methods include the use of ear drops, ear irrigation, and the careful use of ear-cleaning tools, such as cotton swabs. 

Regular ear hygiene is vital for maintaining good ear health and preventing issues related to earwax buildup.
