What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement due to the gradual loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. It typically causes tremor, slowness, stiffness and balance changes, and may also affect sleep, mood and memory.
While there is no cure yet, modern treatment can control symptoms effectively for many years. A combination of medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle measures and — in selected cases — advanced therapies such as deep brain stimulation can preserve independence and quality of life.
What are the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease?
Common symptoms include the features below. Patterns vary — a neurologist matches your history to the right diagnosis rather than treating a single symptom in isolation.
What causes Parkinson's Disease?
Identifying the cause guides treatment. These are frequent contributors — your evaluation may reveal one factor or a combination.
Loss of Dopamine Neurons
Progressive degeneration in a brain area called the substantia nigra.
Genetic Factors
A small proportion of cases have a clear inherited basis.
Environmental Exposure
Long-term pesticide or heavy-metal exposure has been linked.
Ageing
Risk rises with age, though young-onset Parkinson's also exists.
Head Injury
Repeated head trauma increases long-term risk.
Unknown Triggers
In most patients, no single cause is identifiable.
How does Dr. Sudheer treat Parkinson's Disease?
Care is personalised after examination and targeted tests. The usual pathway has three stages:
Diagnosis
Clinical motor examination to confirm Parkinson's versus essential tremor or atypical parkinsonism; imaging or DaTscan only when the picture is unclear.
Treatment Plan
Levodopa and other dopaminergic medicines titrated to function, plus exercise, physiotherapy and treatment of sleep, mood and constipation symptoms.
Follow-up
Regular adjustment for wearing-off or dyskinesia, fall-risk review and timely discussion of advanced therapies such as deep brain stimulation when indicated.
When should I seek urgent care for Parkinson's Disease?
- • Sudden severe worsening of movement
- • Hallucinations or marked confusion on medication
- • Frequent falls
- • Difficulty swallowing or recurrent chest infections
