Being thin is a sign of serious illness! People who lose weight suddenly need to be alert to these 10 diseases!
A large part of consumers are caused by unscientific diet and living habits. Insufficient dietary intake, unreasonable diet matching, irregular meals, high study and work pressure, anxiety, mental stress, excessive fatigue, poor sleep, etc. will lead to weight loss.
If the body is thin, the weight has dropped and has been seriously below the normal standard, most of the lesions have occurred in the body. So, if the body is too thin, what diseases are hidden?
- Stomach, duodenal ulcer, chronic enteritis and other gastrointestinal diseases
Stomach, duodenal ulcers, chronic enteritis and other gastrointestinal diseases can affect digestion and absorption functions, leading to malnutrition and weight loss.
- Diabetes
If the body is thin, accompanied by thirst, drinking, frequent urination, profuse urination, fatigue, etc., it indicates diabetes. The onset of diabetes is slow, the course of the disease is longer, and there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage. There are many complications of diabetes, which can affect the eyes, heart, kidneys, blood vessels, nerves and other tissues and organs. Early detection and treatment are very important.
- Anorexia nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is more common in young women, which can be caused by mental stimulation, and some are caused by excessive weight loss leading to loss of appetite, resulting in malnutrition and body weight loss.
- Hyperthyroidism
Weight loss, accompanied by heat intolerance, fatigue, overeating, hunger, sweating, etc., suggest hyperthyroidism.
- Tuberculosis
A very important manifestation of tuberculosis is weight loss. The early symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are not very obvious. In addition to frequent symptoms similar to a cold, weight loss and low-grade fever are also important symptoms. Therefore, people who have repeated "cold" symptoms and are not easy to improve, and can last for more than two weeks, should be checked for tuberculosis.
- Chronic liver, gallbladder and pancreas disease
Chronic liver, gallbladder and pancreas diseases such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, chronic biliary tract infection, chronic pancreatitis, gallbladder and pancreatic tumors can also cause weight loss.
- Anterior pituitary hypofunction
Anterior pituitary insufficiency can be caused by ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland due to massive hemorrhage during childbirth, or caused by pituitary tumors, severe infections, and head trauma. Due to the decreased secretion of pituitary hormones, the function of the gonad, thyroid and adrenal cortex is decreased, resulting in weight loss.
- Chronic adrenal insufficiency
The weight loss caused by chronic adrenal insufficiency is caused by the damage and atrophy of the bilateral adrenal cortex, resulting in insufficient or lack of secretion of adrenal cortex hormones. Depression, loss of appetite, general weakness and other symptoms.
- Cancer
Because cancer consumes a lot of nutrients in the human body, it produces many harmful substances, and the metabolism of the body is seriously imbalanced. Therefore, it can cause significant weight loss in a short period of time. Patients with advanced cancer are often extremely thin and have cachexia.
- Oral factors
Teeth can not only chew food and mix with saliva to facilitate swallowing, but also stimulate gastrointestinal motility, promote gastric acid and bile secretion, and thus aid digestion. Missing teeth can directly affect digestive function, leading to malnutrition and weight loss.
