Patient's question:
Does anorexia affect height? Can an endoscopy detect gastritis and anorexia?Doctor's answer:
An endoscope can thoroughly examine gastritis, while a colonoscope can thoroughly examine colitis. Anorexia can interfere with growth and development. The symptoms of anorexia include significant weight gain, recurrence of edema; lack of body fat makes it easy to feel cold and chills; abnormal hormone levels in the body can lead to fine and sparse hair or excessive body hair, increased heart function, slow heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and arrhythmia, potentially causing sudden death; reduced blood flow to the heart and insufficient blood supply to the brain vessels can easily lead to fainting. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
