What are the diseases that cause obesity

People care about their own image, whether it's their face or body shape, and at the same time, many people suffer from obesity and struggle with it. Many people go on a diet to lose weight, but obesity is not only caused by eating too much. There are actually many reasons that can lead to obesity, and some diseases can also cause obesity. Do you know which ones? Next, let's talk about the diseases that cause obesity.

(1) Simple obesity: one is overnutrition, eating a lot of greasy and sweet foods, and having too little activity; The second is relative malnutrition, mainly caused by vitamin and protein deficiencies due to picky eating and off flavors. Lack of activity and sleeping immediately after meals are bad habits that contribute to childhood obesity. Parents' obesity also has a certain impact on the development of simple obesity in children, and for this type of obesity, improving diet and strengthening exercise must be the main focus.

(2) Cerebral obesity: commonly known as obesity induced reproductive dysfunction syndrome, which is seen in lesions such as pituitary tumors, intracranial tumors, trauma, encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and sequelae of hydrocephalus, or in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.These lesions damage the ventromedial nucleus of the thalamus, induce hyperinsulinemia, and lead to overeating. The prominent features include overeating, obesity, drowsiness, underdeveloped testicles and genitals, and slow height growth.

(3) Primary testicular dysfunction; Congenital testicular defects, trauma, and mumps combined with orchitis can all manifest as obesity.

(4) Endocrine disorders such as adrenal hyperfunction, hypothyroidism, insulinoma, etc. Obesity caused by dysregulation of fat metabolism is relatively rare, such as painful obesity, progressive lipodystrophy, and so on.

It turns out that these diseases can cause people to gain weight, and many people's weight loss effects are not significant. It is possible that the cause of obesity has not been identified, so weight loss cannot be carried out from the root. If many weight loss actions have not been effective, then it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by a disease. You can refer to the introduction of diseases that cause obesity in the previous text.
