What Illnesses Lead to Weight Loss? Professor Identifies 6 Causes of Rapid Weight Loss

1. Hormonal Changes
Weight loss can be related to hormonal disorders, as hormones regulate metabolism and appetite. Common illnesses affecting weight loss include Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes, and thyroid disorders, specifically hyperthyroidism.
2. Gastrointestinal Issues
Gastrointestinal problems can disrupt the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin and the satiety hormone leptin, leading to decreased appetite. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) can impair food digestion and nutrient absorption. Severe conditions include Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, liver diseases, pancreatic diseases, and parasitic infections.
3. Dental Problems and Oral Mucosa Pathologies
Dental issues and pathologies of the tongue and oral mucosa can hinder eating, proper chewing, and subsequently digestion in the stomach and intestines, leading to weight loss.
4. Malignant Tumors
Malignant tumors cause inflammation in the body, disrupting the production of hormones that regulate appetite. Moreover, many cancer treatments and medications can cause nausea, vomiting, and reduced appetite. Cancers that commonly lead to unexplained weight loss include pancreatic, lung, stomach, and esophageal cancers.
5. Eating Disorders
Individuals with anorexia or bulimia (episodes of excessive eating followed by induced vomiting) are particularly vulnerable to rapid weight loss.
6. Severe Stress
Significant stressful situations, major life changes, or severe psychological trauma can lead to increased anxiety, decreased appetite, and significant weight loss. Such events include divorce, the loss of a loved one, job loss, or relocation.
In summary, if you've lost 5% of your weight in the last 6-12 months without trying, it's time to see a doctor for a comprehensive examination. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment.
