Parkinson's Disease treatment at Hispano Americano Hospital

Parkinson's disease is a pathology that is characterized when the patient has tremor, but the disease does not start that way. It occurs between 40 and 70 years and is more common in men. The patient begins with alterations in gait, stiffness in the arms, sleep disturbances, changes in voice change and facial hypomimia.

The diagnosis of Parkinson's at Hispano Americano in Mexicali, Mexico, is highly complex at times. Doctors must consider that the patient has no such injury in something called basal ganglia, which are located in the brain. If the patient has no such injury then we can consider that he or she has Parkinson's.

Dr. René Gonzalez, neurologist and neurophysiologist and head of the Neurology program at Hispano Americano Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico, explained that for the treatment of Parkinson's it is important to take into account the age group. An older patient, for example, would require more dopamine than a young one.

This will cause problems with eating, dressing, walking ... But making a correct and timely diagnosis can avoid this series of situations and lead to a better quality of life for patients.
