If you lose weight for no apparent reason, the doctor advised you to consult a specialist.
Why do we lose weight
Endocrinologist Yulia Vereina recalled that causeless weight loss and exhaustion are observed against the background of metabolic disorders such as hyperthyroidism, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
The doctor clarified that hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis can occur in cases where the functions of the thyroid gland are disrupted, that is, it produces more thyroid hormones. The metabolic process intensifies, the person suddenly loses weight.
Verenina said that simultaneously with these processes, a person begins to suffer more often from neuroses, he experiences increased anxiety, excessive emotionality causes sleep disturbances and arrhythmias.
When to rush to the doctor
In addition, seemingly causeless weight loss is a sign of serious inflammatory bowel diseases. People with such pathologies may experience specific hormonal disorders that negatively affect the mechanisms of appetite and satiety. As a result, they lose interest in food, do not feel hungry for a long time, and begin to eat less.
The doctor warned that if your body weight decreases by more than 5% without training or dieting, and as a result your health deteriorates, there is a reason to seek help from a specialist.
