Symptoms of Obesity


By Beautyguide at 2008-09-16 03:56:54
There are a number of factors that cause obesity. Some of which include a genetic predisposition, an underlying illness, eating disorders, medications, poor mental health, lack of sleep, etc. Obesity causes quite a lot of damage considering the number of related diseases that are brought on by this health condition. To make matters worse, obesity incidences has increased that it is now considered a global threat. The rates of child obesity incidences have, in fact, tripled in the United States since 1997. As a response, we’ve tried to combat obesity with diets, exercise, behavior modification, surgery and more recently, drug therapy.

Obesity turns out to be the cause of several diseases like diabetes, joint problems, high blood pressure, heart trouble, stomach disorders, breathing issues and psychological disorders. In order to be secure from these diseases doctors suggest several treatments to obese patients. Obesity treatment can be categorized in two types. The one is non-surgical and the other is surgical treatment. Those who can be cured without going for surgery are given medicines, diet plans and exercise schedule. For those who come near the danger level, doctors cure them by surgery. The treatment assures the negation of weight gaining for the rest of patient's life.

A person suffering from morbid obesity should seek medical help immediately. In most cases, morbid obesity is the result of ignoring the condition of obesity for many years and leading a lifestyle that not only maintains but also promotes further obesity. The end result is a severely obese person, who becomes susceptible to all obesity related diseases and cannot lose weight through normal means. A person suffering from morbid obesity becomes prone to diabetes and coronary heart trouble and also falls risk to an early death.

Obesity may be caused by a number of social, cultural, behavioral, physiological, metabolic, and genetic factors that are beyond the person’s control. Symptoms of obesity usually show up in the form of breathing trouble, excess accumulation of fat, insulin resistance, and increase in size or number of fat cells, rise in blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and back pain. A variety of treatments exist for obesity that includes diet and behavior therapy to medicine and surgery.

Obesity is a severe, often overlooked, disabling chronic situation that affects all. It is also defined as a body mass index (BMI) more than 30 kg/m2. Anyone more than a BMI of 40 is considered morbidly obese. This state increases the risk of many health conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, respiratory problems, and some cancers.

Many medical conditions and even some medications can cause people to put on weight, and the problem could go on so long that the person could even become obese. Glandular malfunctions of the pituitary gland or the thyroid gland are common causes of obesity, and if your doctor has not done a thorough evaluation of these glands you need to ask her to do so. Stress, emotional tension, and eating disorders can also contribute to obesity. Depression can be a factor. Sometimes, the best cure for obesity is to start with the mind rather than the body.
