Overview: Weight Loss
What is Unintentional Weight Loss?
Unintentional weight loss is when you lose weight without changing your diet or exercise routine. It can be a sign of stress or a serious illness.
Causes of Unintentional Weight Loss
Unintentional weight loss has many different causes.
Some causes of unintentional weight loss include:
- Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Other health conditions, such as an overactive thyroid, type 2 diabetes, or heart failure
Sometimes weight loss can be caused by cancer, tuberculosis, or chronic illnesses like diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and malabsorption disorders affecting the small intestines. It’s important to get it checked if you’re losing weight without trying.
Treatment for Unintentional Weight Loss
Treatment for unintentional weight loss depends on the underlying cause. Depending on the possible cause, you may have to undergo evaluation such as PET CT or CT abdomen, endoscopic evaluation, and various blood tests.
