  • Fungal toenail infections have become an
    increasing problem in older adults. Experts opine
    that those over 60 years are more likely to get a
    fungal toenail infection than those who are
    young. Several reasons, such as immunosuppressive
    drugs or chemotherapies, can lead to such
    conditions. Although different courses of
    treatment are available, not all medications and
    methods will be suitable for an elderly patient.
    But why are aged patients more prone to such
    infections? Lets find out the answer-
  • Why Are Toenail Infections Common Among Elderly
    People?
  • As one ages, blood circulation weakens in the
    distal extremities. This is the first probable
    cause of getting a fungal toenail infection. If
    such vulnerable patients frequently visit public
    pools, locker rooms or washrooms, they can
    quickly get infected. Their imbalanced immune
    system is also to be blamed.

These patients also take prescribed
immunosuppressive drugs for nonmalignant diseases
or undergo chemotherapy that leads to the
infection. Similarly, diabetes is a
life-threatening peril that can lead to such
infections. The truth is a common
infection-causing source poses a high risk for
elderly patients since they are already affected
by various health conditions.

  • What Are The Risks Of Toenail Infections In The
    Aged?
  • Fungal toenail infection is not life-threatening.
    But in an older patient, it can give rise to
    various complications if not treated early. Nail
    infections can cause extreme discomfort and pain,
    lessening their mobility. Patients in the older
    age group suffer from various lifestyle diseases
    like high blood sugar or blood pressure.
  • Fungal toenail infection treatment often becomes
    ineffective for those with a debilitated immune
    system. Diabetes also slows down the healing
    process, or the infection becomes recurring.
    Other medications can also aggravate the
    infection. Therefore, people in the older age
    group should seek immediate consultation from
    expert podiatrists.

    news is podiatry clinics, such as Foot Clinic
