Chronic Conditions Q & A
What are chronic conditions?
A chronic health condition is any long-lasting disease. With only a few exceptions, you can prevent chronic diseases. But once they develop, these conditions last a lifetime because they aren’t curable with the treatments currently available.
Most chronic conditions progressively worsen, leading to serious, life-threatening complications. The Essential Healthcare team offers chronic disease management, providing services that control your symptoms, slow down disease progression, and help you stay healthy and well! What are the most common chronic conditions? At Essential Healthcare, the experienced team diagnoses and manages all chronic conditions. Some of the most common include:
Long-lasting, painful conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, also belong on the list of chronic conditions.
What other conditions may cause chronic problems?
The Essential Healthcare team treats other chronic conditions that most people don’t think of as chronic diseases, including:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Women often experience recurrent UTIs. You have recurrent UTIs if you have two or more infections in six months or three or more over the course of a year.
Skin conditions
Essential Healthcare offers comprehensive dermatology care for all types of skin problems, including a sudden rash and chronic conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia usually heals with treatment. However, some bacterial and fungal infections, and infections that cause lung scarring, can lead to chronic pneumonia.
Low testosterone
Though low testosterone is treatable, it’s often associated with chronic diseases.
How are chronic conditions managed?
Managing a chronic disease depends on your diagnosis. For example, people with diabetes need a treatment plan that keeps their blood sugar in the normal range, while managing heart disease focuses on lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. No matter what condition you face, your management plan includes:
Lifestyle changes
Your diet, weight, exercise routine, and habits like smoking have a significant impact on chronic conditions. Lifestyle habits have the power to improve or worsen your disease. At an early stage, lifestyle changes may keep your condition under control without needing medications.
Medications
Some conditions, such as asthma and COPD, always need medications. Others need medication when lifestyle changes don’t help or they have severe symptoms.
