What to do if you lose weight for no apparent reason

The inexplicable weight loss is related to our recent emotions and lifestyle. If we have a poor appetite or are in a bad mood recently, it will affect the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, if you want to better absorb nutrients, you still need to learn to adjust your own problems. As for the reasons for weight loss, everyone can pay attention to whether it is caused by illness.

1. Diabetes. Diabetes is a very common metabolic disease caused by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin secretion. The insulin in diabetic patients' bodies cannot fully utilize glucose. In order to replenish energy, the body has to use a large amount of protein and fat, which will lead to increased consumption of fat and protein and a significant weight loss in patients. Diabetic patients often have the problem of frequent urination, which leads to a large loss of water through urination and can also cause weight loss.

2. Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism, often referred to as hyperthyroidism, is a disease in which the thyroid hormone is secreted excessively. This is not a single disease but a group of syndromes, in which hypermetabolism is a typical manifestation. Patients with hyperthyroidism have high metabolism, the body consumes a lot of calories, and protein and fat are consumed rapidly, so patients often show symptoms of weight loss, sweating, and fear of heat.

3. Adrenal insufficiency. There are two types of adrenal insufficiency: primary and secondary. The secondary type is usually caused by hypothalamic-pituitary lesions. The typical manifestation of adrenal insufficiency is darker skin pigmentation, and patients usually experience general fatigue and weight loss.

4. Cancer. Many cancers, such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc., can also cause weight loss. The early symptoms of these cancers are not obvious. The growth of cancer cells requires a lot of nutrients, causing the patient to lose weight. Many people find that they do not feel any discomfort in their bodies, but their weight keeps decreasing. You must be vigilant. If you have blood in your stool, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
