Shingles in Aging: Symptoms, Treatment, and the Shingles Vaccine Explained

Sign up for Better Health While Aging’s newsletter to receive practical health advice from board-certified geriatrician Leslie Kernisan, MD MPH: https://betterhealthwhileaging.net/fo... Shingles is often dismissed as “just a rash,” but for older adults it can be far more serious and far more preventable than many people realize. In this episode of the Better Health While Aging video podcast, geriatrician Leslie Kernisan, MD MPH, explains what shingles is, why the risk increases with age, and how shingles can lead to long-lasting nerve pain called post-herpetic neuralgia. Dr. K also reviews how shingles is diagnosed and treated, what symptoms to watch for, and when shingles can become dangerous. Most importantly, this video explains why the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) is one of the most powerful, and underused, preventive tools in aging health. In addition to dramatically reducing the risk of shingles, research suggests shingles vaccination may also lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and heart attack by reducing inflammation in the body. If you are age 50 or older, or supporting your own long-term health as you age, this episode will help you understand why shingles prevention matters and how to protect yourself. #Shingles #ShinglesVaccine #Shingrix #AgingHealth #HealthyAging #SeniorHealth #PreventiveCare #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #BetterHealthWhileAging Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Why Shingles Prevention Matters 02:06 What Is Shingles? 04:12 Why Shingles Risk Increases With Age 05:55 Common Symptoms of Shingles 08:34 How Shingles Is Diagnosed and Treated 11:11 Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: Chronic Nerve Pain After Shingles 12:52 The Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix): What to Know 15:04 Additional Benefits: Dementia, Stroke & Heart Risk Reduction 16:10 Shingles Vaccine FAQs 19:59 Recap and Key Takeaways WATCH NEXT Improve Memory by AVOIDING These Drugs ⛔    • Improve Memory by AVOIDING These Drugs ⛔   Is Your Blood Pressure Too Low?
