Unexplained Weight Loss in Teenager
Patient's Query
I'm concerned about my inability to gain weight. In my childhood years I have ways been skinny but on the onset of puberty at the age of 12-13 I was having a healthy weight and I was happy with it . But when we shifted to a new city I gradually began to become skinny and now after 4 years I'm having a weight of 41 kgs only. I gained only a kg of weight in 4 years. What could the reason for it and how can I treat it
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Your unintended weight loss raises concern. There might be reasons like thyroid problems, lack of nutrition, or health issues behind it. You may feel tired, muscles weak, and unable to focus well. It's wise to visit a dietitian who'll do tests to find the cause. They may suggest diet changes or medicines to help.
