Health consulting - 09/30/2023



The rainy season is a favorable condition for diseases that cause bone and joint pain to recur or get worse, especially in the elderly. With a chronic nature, diseases that cause joint pain in the elderly often reduce the quality of life because of pain, discomfort, and greatly affect movement. Therefore, the care, treatment and prevention of these diseases need to be properly focused, especially during periods of changing weather, from hot to cold or rainy weather like today.

So how important is bone and joint health care for the elderly?

What concepts and methods does traditional medicine have to help take care of bones and joints in the elderly?

To better understand these issues, we invite you to meet and listen to sharing from Master – Specialist II Doctor Kieu Xuan Thy, Deputy Head of the Department. Department 3 – Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in this episode’s Health Stories program.
