Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I would like to know if I should check whether my obesity is pathological?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, is your obesity caused by a disease? You can go to a regular hospital's endocrinology department for a follow-up check-up to clarify if the obesity is caused by a disease, and then receive targeted treatment. If it is simple obesity, pay attention to dietary control, eat less high-fat, high-sugar foods, and consume more fiber-rich foods. Eat until you are 90% full, primarily restricting staple foods. Additionally, combine daily physical activity, such as brisk walking or running. The activity duration should exceed 30 minutes to achieve better weight loss results, and continue monitoring long-term.
