Patient's question:
You still want to ask if Xi'an Children's Hospital has a specialized department for treating pediatric obesity? My child is 15 years old and very overweight. We urgently need a doctor's help for a remote diagnosis: Can they treat a 15-year-old child's obesity?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in order to help children lose weight, diets and weight-loss pills are generally not recommended. On the one hand, it is easy to rebound and harmful to health. Additionally, 15-year-old children are in the stage of growth and development, and nutrition is essential. Therefore, the diet should be balanced and regular, with less high-calorie and high-fat foods, and moderate amounts of fruits and vegetables. At the same time, it is important to maintain moderate exercise, preferably for half an hour or more each time.
