Patient's question:
Doctor, how is child obesity treated? My little one has severe obesity, can surgery be performed?Doctor's answer:
Dietary control primarily involves restricting diet, which is not only for weight loss but also to ensure the normal growth and development of children. Increasing exercise Obese children should increase their daily exercise, develop the habit of exercising from a young age, and gradually increase the amount and duration of exercise. Avoid strenuous activities in the early stages to prevent stimulating appetite. Regular exercise can include jogging for 30 minutes, climbing stairs, jumping rope, playing ball games, running on a treadmill, or swimming one hour after meals. The body just needs to get used to it. Anaerobic exercise is not recommended. Behavioral therapy Teach children and parents methods of behavior management.
