Hello, doctor. I am 24 years old and have been gaining weight rapidly, along with experiencing menstrual disorders during my teenage years. I have tried many weight loss methods but have failed. Particularly, due to a lack of physical activity, my waist has expanded too quickly, with stretch marks appearing and a measurement of up to 95 cm. Doctor, should I use appetite suppressants and absorption-reducing drugs to lose weight? Thank you, I am 1.60 m tall and weigh 68 kg.

Hello,

Based on the BMI calculation formula and the information you provided, your BMI is 26.5, which falls into the overweight category.

First, you need to undergo a general health check-up to rule out certain conditions that can cause overweight and obesity, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and Cushing's syndrome. Additionally, the doctor will need more information, such as whether you have sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes.

Regarding your question about whether to use appetite suppressants and absorption-reducing drugs for weight loss and weight loss methods, you should consult with a Nutritionist. In particular, you should not self-prescribe or use weight loss drugs or diets that are not approved due to the extremely dangerous side effects.
