When the body burns more calories than it takes in, weight loss occurs. Exercise, the body's basal metabolism, etc. are one of the sources of energy consumption for the human body. When the weight suddenly drops in a short period of time, you should pay attention to it. Dr. Su Yongbai pointed out that if you lose 10 pounds or more within six months to one year without deliberate weight loss, or 5% of the original weight, the situation is already unusual. Defined as abnormal weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mimi Shi still loses pounds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mandy often accompanied her elders for follow-up visits, but Dr. Su saw that she had lost a lot of weight recently, and she was even more haggard. After careful questioning, she found out that she had lost 10 pounds in just six months, and she was rapidly "losing pounds". She emphasized that she did not deliberately exercise and diet, but tried to gain weight by dieting, but she still failed. With her height of 1.65 meters, her weight is only 45 kg, and her BMI is 16.5, which is lower than the normal lower limit of 18.5, which is indeed too light. Her condition already belonged to abnormal weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among them, the most worrying is related to cancer, because some cancers, such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc., the initial symptom is a sudden weight loss. However, there are many causes of weight loss, which may involve chronic diseases such as gastrointestinal discomfort and endocrine disorders, as well as emotional problems such as anorexia. Patients should seek help from their doctors to find out the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hyperthyroidism causes weight loss<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, after the examination, Mandy did not suffer from cancer, but Dr. Su found that she had slight "big neck blisters" and hand tremors. She suspected that she was suffering from hyperthyroidism ("hyperthyroidism" for short), which is more common in women. Weight loss may also be related to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thyroid is mainly in charge of the metabolism of the human body, and is closely related to body energy, growth and development, and the functions of various organs. Diseases that affect thyroid function are mostly caused by autoimmune diseases or inflammation after infection with viruses. Because the hypersecretion of the thyroid gland in patients with hyperthyroidism is excessive, the metabolism is accelerated; therefore, no matter how the patients increase their appetite, they will lose weight due to excessive consumption. In addition to the swollen thyroid gland in the neck, eye tissues may also swell, making the eyeballs protruding and even affecting vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the symptoms are suspected to be related to hyperthyroidism, the doctor will conduct a blood test to check the thyroid function and other related antibody indexes, and then conduct an ultrasound scan of the neck to determine whether the thyroid is enlarged or whether there are other lumps in the neck. Mandy's condition is not serious and can be treated with drugs to suppress thyroxine in the body, but regular blood tests and follow-up visits are still required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Su emphasized that many people ignore the seriousness of hyperthyroidism. If the thyroid hormone in the body continues to be too high, it will accelerate the loss of calcium, which will easily lead to osteoporosis in the long run. The accelerated metabolism can overload the heart, induce irregular heartbeat, heart failure and other emergencies .<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Dr. Su, the most common cause of sudden weight loss is related to the digestive system. Diarrhea among them will affect the intestinal absorption of nutrients, resulting in weight loss. Severe cases may be caused by chronic gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) and upper peptic ulcer. These chronic diseases are generally difficult to judge based on the appearance. Patients are advised to undergo colonoscopy, gastric endoscopy or Helicobacter pylori air blow test as needed, and then treat accordingly according to the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
