Patient's question:
I am 22 years old, 170 cm tall, and weigh 50 kg. I am extremely thin and dream of gaining weight. I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, but my ultrasound and liver function tests are normal. Hello, how can I gain weight quickly? Can I use fat emulsion anesthesia to gain weight, or should I rely on exercise?Doctor's answer:
Being underweight, first check if there are any potential underlying medical conditions. Conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, adrenal issues, and digestive system diseases can easily lead to weight loss. Only after ruling out medical conditions can a weight gain plan be implemented. With sufficient protein intake, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in fat and carbohydrates (such as starch, sugars, etc.). This way, excess energy can be converted into fat and stored under the skin, helping underweight individuals to become more robust. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with liver diseases also need to pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease!
