What causes constant hunger?

It is very normal for the human body to feel hungry, which means that the human body is hungry and needs to replenish some energy. However, some people always feel hungry. This situation is not simply because they are hungry and need to replenish energy. It is very likely caused by a disease. People need to pay special attention to it. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons why people always feel hungry.

The most direct reason for being hungry is low blood sugar concentration, but there may be many reasons.

The first one: there is something wrong with the blood. Some people's blood sugar concentration is always lower than normal due to characteristic (genetic) reasons. As a result, they are always hungry and do not feel comfortable even if they eat until they are full. They are weaker and have weak immunity. They may get sick frequently and have no energy. (Go for a blood test)

The second type is poor digestive tract function. If the digestive organs such as the small intestine and stomach cannot work properly, food cannot be completely converted into the nutrients needed by the body, resulting in low blood sugar concentrations. It is easy to get hungry and feel hungry shortly after eating. (Go for a gastrointestinal examination, including the mouth, esophagus, gallbladder, etc.)

The third type: It may also be caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, which will cause the patient to be very thin and have a bad temper (commonly known as hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to go to the hospital to test the thyroid gland).

The fourth type: If you cannot stand being hungry, it is "annoying hunger", which may be caused by abnormal liver function. When the blood sugar concentration decreases, the liver cannot make the correct physiological response to break down glycogen to maintain normal activity energy, so it continues to consume the little glycogen in the blood, causing increasingly severe physiological reactions. (Hungry, annoyingly hungry). [It is recommended to check the liver and gallbladder function. The role of the gallbladder is also very important. Even if the liver function is normal, if the gallbladder function is abnormal, fat cannot be converted into energy substances normally, which will lead to the same consequences, but people will gain weight and cannot eat greasy food.] The fifth type: It may be a kidney problem. Nutrients must be filtered by the kidneys. If there is a problem with the kidneys, nutrients cannot enter the blood circulation normally. This causes the body to be in a state of nutritional deficiency, which manifests itself as hunger.
