What's the reason for always being hungry during weight loss

It is a normal physiological phenomenon that people are always hungry during weight loss, which may be caused by reduced food intake, decreased blood sugar, etc., but if there are nausea, acid regurgitation, stomachache, dizziness and other symptoms, it may be related to pathological factors, such as peptic ulcer, diabetes, etc. It is recommended that patients seek medical advice in a timely manner and follow the doctor's advice.

1. Physiological factors: During weight loss, the intake of food is reduced, resulting in a decrease in stomach contents, which can easily lead to stomach acid stimulating the gastric mucosa and causing hunger; A decrease in food intake can easily lead to a decrease in blood sugar, stimulating the brain and causing hunger, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.

2. Pathological factors:

1. Peptic ulcer: If accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, etc., it may be related to peptic ulcer, usually caused by gastric acid stimulation of the gastric mucosa. Follow the doctor's advice to take drugs such as omeprazole, ranitidine, sucralfate, etc. for treatment.

2. diabetes: if accompanied by polyuria, overeating, weight loss and other symptoms, it may be related to diabetes. Since blood sugar cannot enter the cells to be used, thus stimulating the brain to feel hungry, you can take metformin, glibenclamide, acarbose and other drugs as instructed by your doctor.

The above medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be taken blindly on one's own to avoid adverse reactions.
