Nowadays, many women blindly pursue slimness, and there is a saying that "losing weight is a woman's lifelong career". In fact, this sentence is not completely correct. According to experts, in recent years, there are more people who come to the hospital for reasons such as emaciation, anemia, visceral ptosis and biliary obstruction. Emaciation should be the same as obesity, and its harmfulness should be paid attention to by the society. Too thin, beware of the following 10 diseases.

metroptosis

Without adequate amount of fat protection, the uterus is easy to descend from the normal position along the vagina, and the cervix is drooping, even protruding out of the vaginal orifice, resulting in what we call uterine prolapse, which may even lead to cervical infection and even cervicitis.

lose hair

The main components of hair are protein called fish protein and trace elements such as zinc, iron and copper. Too thin people have insufficient supply of body fat and protein, so their hair often falls off and their hair color gradually loses its luster.

Osteoporosis

It was found that the incidence of hip fracture in thin women was higher than that in standard weight women 1 times. This is due to the lack of estrogen level in the thin human body, which affects the combination of calcium and bone and cannot maintain normal bone density, so osteoporosis and fractures are prone to occur.

gastroptosis

Don't envy the female colleagues around you who are always full after eating. A few mouthfuls of rice can cope with a lunch. Only she knows how much pain her stomach suffers every day: loss of appetite and always feeling flatulence and pain. If you do gastroscopy for this, the diagnosis may be: gastroptosis. Yes, when the human body is too thin, the abdominal wall is slack and the abdominal muscles are weak, which leads to the weakness of the muscles and ligaments that suspend and fix the position of the stomach, and the abdominal pressure drops, so the physiological position of the whole stomach is reduced and the gastric peristalsis is weakened, which leads to gastroptosis.

cholelith

Bile is secreted by the liver and contains cholesterol, bile salts, calcium and lecithin. And they keep a certain proportion. People who are too thin generally have insufficient calorie intake, so the consumption rate of fat precipitated in body tissues is accelerated, and cholesterol moves with it, resulting in its content in bile increasing, becoming sticky, precipitating crystals and forming stones.

duodenal stasis

The cross section of the duodenum is located behind the peritoneum and is the most fixed part of the digestive tract. Too thin people, the mesentery and retroperitoneal fat are scarce, and the internal organs droop, which virtually narrows the gap between the spine and the proximal end of the superior mesenteric artery, resulting in duodenal compression. Therefore, it is difficult to digest what you eat, which is manifested as abdominal fullness and discomfort, accompanied by pain or vomiting after meals. Vomiting contains bile and food eaten, and the symptoms are intermittent and recurrent.

inability to get pregnant

Women's body fat percentage must reach at least 17% to maintain normal menstrual cycle and sexual desire level, which is also the minimum fat standard for their healthy pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding in the future. Because adipose tissue can convert the raw materials provided by adrenal cortex into estrogen, it is an important place to produce estrogen in the body except ovaries. If there is too little fat in the body, it will affect the synthesis of estrogen and its concentration level in the blood, resulting in insufficient estrogen level, which is one of the key criteria affecting fertility.

anaemia

Too thin people generally have the problem of unbalanced nutrient intake, and iron, folic acid, vitamin B 12 and other hematopoietic substances are insufficient. Because of eating less, the basal metabolic rate is lower than that of ordinary people, so the slow gastrointestinal movement and less gastric acid secretion affect the absorption of nutrients, which is the main cause of anemia.

In addition, malnutrition reduces the body's immunity and is prone to secondary anemia.

haematuria

The kidney is surrounded by a dense layer of connective tissue. Too thin people have insufficient body fat content, which leads to the relaxation of this connective tissue and the weakening of muscle strength, and cannot provide external muscle protection for the kidneys. Therefore, the kidneys are prone to droop and lead to internal venous blood exudation, hematuria, and often accompanied by waist pain.

Memory decline

The main motivation for brain work comes from fat, which can stimulate the brain, accelerate the brain's ability to process information and enhance short-term and long-term memory. The thin human body is short of fat intake and storage, and the body is short of nutrition, which seriously damages brain cells and directly affects memory, so we become more and more forgetful.
