What kind of disease hidden behind sudden weight loss

Recently, Cecilia Cheung was in pain because of the sweet reunion of Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong. The media reported that she lost weight so much that she is now only 40 kilograms. Doctors say that excessive emotions can affect a person's physical health, especially the spleen and stomach functions. Without appetite, weight will naturally drop. However, if a person loses weight suddenly, he or she should be alert to whether there is a problem with his or her health. Sudden weight loss may hide health risks:

1. Malignant tumors

Sudden weight loss is the first symptom of many malignant tumors. Malignant tumor is a chronic wasting disease. The energy and nutrients required by tumor cells during their growth process are far greater than those of the body's normal tissues. And as the tumor grows, this consumption will increase day by day. At the same time, tumors are often accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding and fever. The toxic substances produced by the tumor will also affect the patient's appetite, making the body's nutritional intake obviously insufficient, causing the patient to become severely emaciated.

2. Metabolic diseases

For example, diabetes may be accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, increased water intake, and weight loss.

3. Hyperthyroidism

It is often accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, polyphagia, and hunger.

4. Cirrhosis

It may be accompanied by fatigue, diarrhea, etc.

5. Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis

6. Others

If the above diseases are ruled out, non-organic causes such as mental, fatigue, and season may be considered.
