Endocrine problems: getting fat when you shouldn't be fat

Obesity is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem. It has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the diseases that affect human physical and mental health and social development. The continuous improvement of people's living standards has also brought about the prevalence of obesity. However, does "being fat" simply mean obesity?
In fact, "obesity" is not just "obesity", because many complex endocrine system diseases often manifest themselves as obesity or even the only early manifestation. Therefore, if you gain weight when you shouldn't, it is necessary to pay attention to it and discover the diseases hidden behind obesity.
The secretion of human hormones is closely related to the occurrence of obesity. In addition to obesity, common endocrine hormone disorders that cause "fatness" include endocrine diseases such as hypothyroidism, hypercortisolism, insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome. Obesity and endocrine hormone secretion disorders are mutually causal and a vicious cycle. Therefore, obese people should first check endocrine-related hormones (such as sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and cortisol) to rule out "obesity" caused by abnormal endocrine hormones. Maybe your "fatness" is not real obesity, but there are other reasons.
