There are many hidden dangers of obesity and there are many ways to lose weight

Statistics show that the proportion of obese people in Shanghai has increased rapidly in recent years. Obesity not only reduces points on appearance, but also does harm to health.

Experts believe that obesity has become a "second-line killer" that threatens people's health. Taking early action to identify the hidden dangers hidden behind obesity and finding the right way to avoid and get rid of obesity is a top priority for people to achieve a healthy life. Case 1: The unspeakable secret of the 20-year-old fat girl Xiao Liu, who just turned 20 this year, is a girl who loves beauty and once had a slender and slender figure. But in recent years, somehow, her weight has increased from 110 kilograms to 145 kilograms like a rocket.

In addition to her bloated body, Xiao Liu also has one hidden secret: she is in her youth, only has menstruation every two months in the past year, and her period has been significantly shortened. She walked into the hospital with an uneasy mood. Hong Jie, deputy chief physician of the Obesity Clinic of Ruijin Hospital, explained that in recent years, the hospital's outpatient department has received more and more patients with conditions like Miss Xiao Liu, and most of them have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. This is one of the common gynecological endocrine diseases, and its main clinical manifestation is menorrhagia or amenorrhea. The patient's signs were "nine out of ten fat", and some were accompanied by hirsutism. Dr. Hong pointed out in particular that the most serious consequence of polycystic ovary syndrome for women is anovulation, abnormal androgen secretion, which may lead to endometrial cancer in the long run.

In addition, because patients with polycystic ovary syndrome cannot ovulate, they cannot conceive naturally, which is one of the most common causes of infertility. Fortunately, polycystic ovary syndrome is not an organic disease, so under normal circumstances, surgical treatment is not required. The outpatient departments of some regular hospitals in this city can prescribe the right medicine. Case 2 After 40s, diabetes entered Mr. Shen is over 40, and his career development has been smooth sailing. Frequent social interactions made his "middle" rise and straighten out his fat general belly. After a little exercise in general, Mr. Shen felt short of breath and extremely tired.

A while ago, his interest in desserts increased sharply. He bought ice cream cones back at home and ate it crazily. What made him feel a little uneasy was that if he did not eat in time, he would have palpitations, cold sweats, dizziness, and hand tremors. Explaining doubts that "three highs" are a big trouble Dr. Hong Jie said that with the improvement of people's living standards, modern people's food welfare is getting better and better, but the ensuing "high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids" The consequences of "three highs" are very distressing. What is even more troublesome is that the "three highs" have almost become the trigger of metabolic syndrome.

The so-called metabolic syndrome, as the name suggests, refers to a disease caused by metabolic abnormalities. Among the diagnostic criteria formulated by the Diabetes Branch of the Chinese Medical Association suitable for China people, if you have any three of the four diseases: overweight or obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, you can be judged to have metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a lifestyle disease caused by bad lifestyle habits, so prevention should also start with itself. When obese patients feel hungry in the early stages of weight loss, they can eat low-calorie and long-fiber foods such as tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, etc. to satisfy their satiety. After a period of time, the hunger will slowly disappear. Link How to confirm obesity? Simple calculation formula for standard weight: male weight kg= height cm-100 female weight kg= height cm-105 Body mass index: weight/height 2kg/rating ≥25, you can be diagnosed as obesity.

If a man's weight has exceeded the standard, or increases in blood pressure, blood lipids and uric acid have been found; if a "glucose tolerance test" has just been performed and the indicators have mild abnormalities; if a relative has been diagnosed with "diabetes" or are both obese; for women, if they have sparse menstruation or even amenorrhea; if they are pregnant, or are told that they have a history of elevated blood sugar during pregnancy, they must go to the hospital for consultation. At this time, obesity is no longer just a question about whether it is handsome or beautiful, but a serious issue that affects physical health.

Medical experts particularly remind that obese patients must not simply control their appetite and lose weight or exercise blindly without authorization. Going to the hospital to consult a professional is the only correct way. What are the main complications of obesity? If obese patients are not treated early and their weight gain is controlled, the possibility of various complications will be much higher than that of normal people. Common complications mainly include:

① Obesity complicated with hypertension;② Obesity complicated with coronary heart disease and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;③ Obesity complicated with diabetes and hyperlipidemia;④ Obesity complicated with pulmonary dysfunction; ④ Obesity complicated with fatty liver; ④ Obesity complicated with reproductive and sexual dysfunction, etc.

In addition, when obese people suffer from acute infections, suffer severe trauma, and undergo surgery and anesthesia, their body stress ability is significantly lower than that of normal people. Obese women are more likely to suffer from breast cancer, uterine cancer, gallbladder cancer, etc. than women of normal weight. Obese men have higher rates of colon, rectal and prostate cancer than non-obese men. (Internship Editor: Zheng Yanjun)
