Women should be alert if they gain weight suddenly

We know that if a person suddenly loses a lot of weight, he or she should check the body to see if any disease has occurred. Both men and women must control their weight, and women should also be alert to sudden weight gain. If a woman suddenly gains a lot of weight, it is generally necessary to consider whether it is due to the use of hormones or endocrine disorders. But no matter what the reason, she should seek medical attention immediately.

1. Polycystic ovary syndrome

This gynecological disease is more common in women aged 20-30. Due to excessive androgen in the body, in addition to weight gain, symptoms such as infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, and hirsutism may also occur.

2. Endometrial cancer

This gynecological disease is often accompanied by symptoms such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, and is more common in women aged 55-60. Since fat cells can increase estrogen levels, which is a relatively clear pathogenic factor, some people believe that obesity is related to the occurrence of endometrial cancer.

3. Obesity, reproductive incompetence and malnutrition

When there are lesions in the hypothalamus or craniopharyngeal duct, the body will become obese and have symptoms such as amenorrhea, genital atrophy and incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics. Lesions on the dorsal side of the sella turcica can be seen through skull X-rays.

4. Empty sella syndrome

Due to congenital or pituitary surgery or radiotherapy resulting in an empty sella, most patients will experience symptoms such as obesity and amenorrhea, and some patients will have headaches.

In order to better ensure the health of women, if there is a sudden increase in weight, it must be paid attention to, as it may be caused by gynecological diseases, and go to the hospital for examination in time.
