Do you experience frequent urination or a persistent “urgent feeling” to urinate? If so, then you may have a urinary disorder known as Overactive Bladder (OAB).

Patients often ask me, “Why am I so tired all the time?” This question, of course, has many possible and complex answers. Caring for our families, working long hours or just doing the many daily tasks of living can make us tired. However, one common medical cause of significant daytime fatigue is obstructive sleep apnea.

Uncontrollable itching. Cracked, scaly, or dry skin. Small raised bumps that ooze when scratched. If your child suffers from any of these symptoms, they might have a severe form of eczema known as atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic skin condition that can occur in people of any age; however, it most commonly begins in childhood and improves as people approach adulthood.

Health screenings help doctors and other providers detect conditions at earlier, more treatable stages.

When it comes to losing weight, there are some first steps that everyone should try. There are also some weight loss methods that I don’t recommend, either because they don’t work or because they aren’t healthy. These general recommendations can not only help with weight loss, but will also improve overall health and well-being.
