The harm of obesity

Nowadays, many people are facing the problem of obesity. Simple obesity is the most common type of obesity, mainly characterized by relatively uniform distribution of body fat. Some obesity is caused by staying up late and overnutrition. According to the patient's age, medical history, and other signs, such as some diseases that cause obesity, other diseases causing obesity, obesity is also a common disease, but attention must be paid to the fact that obesity can also cause other complications.

Obesity is extremely harmful to patients, not only delaying physical exercise but also causing other types of diseases in some cases of obesity, and often suffering from other types of complications. Therefore, timely and specific treatment of this obesity must be ensured.

The common complications easily caused by obesity include: ① obesity complicated with hypertension; ② obesity complicated with coronary heart disease and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; ③ obesity complicated with diabetes and hyperlipidemia; ④ obesity complicated with incomplete lung function; ⑤ obesity complicated with fatty liver; ⑥ obesity complicated with reproductive-sexual dysfunction, etc.

Obese individuals have a significantly lower stress response than normal people when suffering from acute infections, severe trauma, undergoing surgical operations and anesthesia. Once these situations occur, the condition development and prognosis of obese individuals are worse than those of normal people.

Obese women are more prone to breast cancer, corpus uteri cancer, gallbladder and bile duct cancer than normal weight women, and colon cancer, rectal cancer, and prostate cancer in obese men are more common than in non-obese individuals.

Measuring height and weighing weight is the most basic examination for the weight loss treatment of obese people.

Checking fasting or postprandial insulin can identify the characteristics of obesity (disease).

Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and glucose tolerance test can understand the relationship between obesity and diabetes.

The blood lipid tests can understand whether the obese person has hyperlipidemia.

The examination of triglycerides, combined with B-ultrasound, can discover the intrinsic connection between obesity and fatty liver.

The examination of renal function can help the doctor discover Cushing's syndrome and pituitary tumors.

The examination of growth hormone can show whether weight loss is effective.

The examination of sex hormones is a good method to observe the relationship between the action sites of estrogen and androgen and obesity, and it is also conducive to determining the weight loss plan.

Moreover, don't ignore the changes in body temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and basal metabolic rate.

We must actively cooperate with the doctor's opinions and examination methods for obesity in our daily lives, and at the same time, check whether weight loss can be carried out in terms of renal function examination and growth hormone examination. Obesity can lead to various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes, as well as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Obesity can lead to incomplete lung function and fatty liver, and the healing of obesity is worse than that of normal people, and recovery is also more difficult.
