Chronic Conditions

Chronic conditions are health conditions or diseases that last a long time, often ones that come with age and persist, although not always.

Many of us, especially as we age, may find ourselves with chronic conditions. Some of these conditions can range from inconvenient to painful, while others may make one more susceptible to other illnesses or even put one’s life in jeopardy if not treated properly. If you think you may have a chronic condition in Las Vegas, contact Kohn Medical & Weight Loss for evaluation and treatment.

What Is a Chronic Condition?

Chronic conditions are health conditions or diseases that last a long time, often ones that come with age and persist, although not always. If a disease lasts more than three months, it is considered chronic, as opposed to acute. Chronic conditions can include potentially terminal illnesses like breast cancer or colon cancer, but can also include health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol or high blood pressure that could lead to a heart attack or stroke. Then there are those issues that cause chronic pain, like arthritis or other kinds of inflammation.

Do I Have a Chronic Condition?

You may suspect you have a chronic condition if you have been experiencing pain or other symptoms for an extended amount of time, but the only way to know for sure if you have a chronic condition is to be examined by a medical professional. At Kohn Medical & Weight Loss, Dr. Ronald J. Kohn can give you a thorough wellness examination. These exams can include screening tests for issues such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and some cancers. Dr. Kohn uses these exams to assess your overall health and evaluate your risk factors for chronic disease.

How Do I Treat Chronic Conditions?

Once Dr. Kohn identifies conditions that can interfere with your quality of life, such as heart disease, diabetes or sleep apnea, he can develop a treatment plan to manage your health issues. Your treatment may include medications, lifestyle recommendations, a weight loss program or other therapies to help you feel the very best you can despite your illness.
