Why did you suddenly lose weight?
Question 1: What is the reason for the sudden weight loss? Factors of life and eating habits: Losing weight is largely caused by unscientific diet and living habits. Insufficient dietary intake, unreasonable dietary distribution, irregular diet, heavy pressure of study and work, anxiety, mental stress, excessive fatigue and poor sleep will all lead to emaciation.

Pathologically, digestive system diseases, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hepatitis, nephropathy and other diseases can cause weight loss; Chronic diseases, physical weakness and malnutrition can also lead to emaciation.

Due to physical and genetic factors, some thin people went to the hospital for examination and found no diseases. They can work normally on weekdays and have basically no discomfort. The emaciation of these people may be related to physical and genetic factors. For example, parents are thin and children are mostly thin.

Question 2: What is the reason for the sudden weight loss? If you suddenly lose weight in a short time, your body will change.

"It's hard to treat a daughter, and she suddenly loses weight", and there is a reason for losing weight suddenly; Hyperthyroidism, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, cancer demons in the body have "settled down".

Old people suddenly lose weight, which is common in diabetes and cancer, but we should pay special attention to cancer sneak attack.

There is a saying in our country: "a thousand dollars is hard to buy, and it is thin when you get old". Now most people think it is wrong. But we can't completely deny this proverb. For example, people who have always been lean are not necessarily bad people, and many of them are "old and thin" birthday stars, such as cross talk master Ma, who died at the age of 90 and a famous playwright at the age of 95. They are "spokesmen" and "image ambassadors" of "old and thin but healthy".

However, it is more scientific to change the sentence "a thousand dollars is hard to buy old and thin" into "a thousand dollars is hard to treat and suddenly thin". Generally speaking, people who are 20% below the standard weight are called emaciated, and those who are below the standard weight 10% are called emaciated.

Mr. Tang, who is nearly sixty years old, has been "fat" since he was 40 years old. He can eat and drink. His weight is increasing and the buttonhole on his belt is shrinking. Everyone calls him Mr. Fat. But in the past six months, his appetite has been better than before. However, he is not only losing weight, but also mentally worse than before. The shiny face has lost a big circle, and the buttonhole of the belt has been tied to the front.

Attention should be paid to sudden weight loss, which may indicate the following diseases.

(1) Diabetes: The early stage of diabetes is characterized by "three more and one less", that is, eating more, urinating more and drinking more, accompanied by weight loss. This is because patients don't have enough insulin (1 diabetes is insulin deficiency, while type 2 diabetes is insulin deficiency), so they can't make full use of glucose in the blood. Because the body always needs energy, you can only consume fat if you can't use glucose, so you will lose weight.

(2) Cancer: such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer. The early symptoms of cancer are not obvious, and emaciation is one of its symptoms. For example, colorectal cancer, when there is a sudden weight loss, may also be accompanied by painless bloody stool. However, it did not attract attention because of "painless". Therefore, people who suddenly lose weight, especially those over 50 years old, must be vigilant when they suddenly lose weight. What needs special reminder is that once a tumor is diagnosed, it may be advanced. Therefore, if you find yourself thin for no reason in your life, or someone around you is surprised to say how you suddenly became so thin, you should go to the hospital to find out. Because tumor growth needs nutrition, it will compete with other organs of the body for nutrition, so it is easy to lose weight.

(3) Ascites due to cirrhosis: Sudden weight loss is easily associated with chronic liver disease, but many patients are too busy to see a doctor in time. Some people have lost twenty or thirty pounds in a month or two, and their eye sockets are sunken. A check, the result is cirrhosis. Suffering from ascites due to cirrhosis will inevitably lead to a decline in anabolism and an increase in consumption metabolism, and people will lose weight in a short time. Another sign of cirrhosis is weight loss accompanied by fatigue and diarrhea.

(4) Hyperthyroidism: If the food intake has not decreased, but the weight has been reduced again and again, accompanied by thick neck or palpitation and insomnia, you may have hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism in the elderly is not as easy to identify as that in young people. About13 patients have no goiter, which is mainly manifested as getting thinner and thinner.

It can be seen that sudden weight loss is a dangerous signal. If you lose more than 1 0 kg for unknown reasons within1month, even if you don't feel strange, you should seek medical advice in time.
