Urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence occurs when the bladder loses control, leading to involuntary urine leakage. Common in elderly patients, especially women, it can cause social isolation and depression if untreated. A Geriatrician can effectively evaluate and treat this condition, improving quality of life.

Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, causes painful and swollen joints as cartilage breaks down with age. It commonly affects the hands, knees, hips, lower back, and neck, and is most prevalent in people over 50, especially women. Geriatric doctors diagnose it through symptom evaluation, physical exams, and imaging tests, and may refer patients for surgical care if necessary.

This is a progressive brain disease that causes a decline in memory and other brain functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms but the changes in their behaviour are often noticed by the family members which make them seek medical care.
