Patient's question:
I am 66 years old this year, and I can't figure out why I'm losing weight. I have prostatitis and constipation, but I eat quite a lot. My blood sugar is not high either. I'm quite scared in my heart. I want to understand what is causing my gradual weight loss?Doctor's answer:
I'm not sure why you're losing weight, you're quite hungry, and your blood sugar isn't high either. You should see a doctor about your thyroid. Generally, hyperthyroid patients have such symptoms. Go to the hospital for a thyroid function test, and you'll know right away. For daily treatment of prostate patients, the main approach is symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, avoid cold foods, and do not eat irritating foods.
