What Is Werner Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
As things stand there is no way to treat Werner syndrome. Treatment is available for many of the patient’s symptoms, however, such as diabetes and heart disease. Other treatments can include medication for osteoporosis, and surgery to remove cataracts.
The patient will also need to make certain lifestyle choices in order to keep themselves relatively healthy. For example, they will need to try and avoid exposure to the sun because of the increased risk of skin cancer. The patient should also avoid smoking, and they should also try and maintain a healthy weight and try to be as active as possible.
