DISEASE SYMPTOMS

Excess weight

Although there are different methods in determining whether the person's weight is excessive or not, body mass index is one of the frequently used methods. It is obtained by dividing body weight by the square of the neck in meters. (Weight (kg) / Height (m²)) Those who are in body mass indexi 25-29.9 kg / m2 are called bulk, i.e. those who are in body mass indexi 30-34.9 kg / m2 are overweight / obese. . On the other hand, we call those with body mass index 35 and over excessive fat (morbid obese). While being overweight is risky for health, being overweight (morbidly obese) is a very, very risky situation for health.

Overweight can cause many diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, as well as joint disorders over time.

It is recommended to get specialist support to combat excess weight.

Excessive sweating

Healthy human body sweats. Sweating is a natural process that maintains the body's heat balance.

One of the most common causes of excessive sweating is stress. Excessive sweating due to stress is mostly seen in palms, armpits and groin. Stress-induced sweating usually disappears during rest or sleep.

On the other hand, excessive sweating can be a harbinger of disease.

Excessive sweating is common in hyperthyroidism cases where the thyroid gland is overworked, especially infectious diseases, tuberculosis, and some other hormone diseases. In some cancer patients such as lymphoma, especially night sweating may be a common complaint.

In overweight people, excessive sweating is often a complaint. Diabetes, some heart diseases and the use of certain medications can also be the cause of excessive sweating.

Emaciation

However, excessive weakness is a health problem like obesity and it brings with it many diseases. In addition, contrary to popular belief, gaining weight can be a more difficult process than losing weight.

As in overweight, there is an imbalance between calories and calories consumed in case of extreme weakness. If a person spends more than the energy he receives through nutrients, this causes the person to lose weight and weaken.

Eating disorders

Eating disorders are basically situations that should be seen as a reflection of psychiatric disorders.

We would like to underline that eating disorders, which may manifest in the form of not eating, not vomiting after eating, or eating much more than the body needs, should be quickly evaluated by a psychiatrist.

It is important to remember that eating disorders are often a physical reflection of an underlying mental problem.

Eating disorders are unfortunately more common than thought.
