What is Obesity?

Obesity is a chronic (long-term) medical disease of having too much body fat. Health care providers diagnose obesity using a number called the body mass index (BMI).

The most common types of diabetes are Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Gestational Diabetes (Diabetes during pregnancy).

Why is obesity a concern?

Both overweight and obesity can make it more likely that you will develop serious complications. These problems include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, gallstones, high cholesterol, gout, and many types of cancer. Obesity can make many other medical problems harder to treat and even raises the risk of early death.

What causes obesity?

Obesity is very complex and not just a simple problem of self-control. It results from a combination of eating too much, getting too little physical activity, genetics and hormone imbalance, as in hypothyroidism , diabetes, and PCOS/PCOD.

How is obesity treated?

There is no simple solution or a pill to cure obesity. However, there are effective treatments to help manage it. Obesity needs a long-term approach that combines diet, medication, and lifestyle changes.

Endocrinologists, who are specialists in hormones and metabolism, can help assess the cause of your obesity and the possible complications. They also can direct how you should be treated, and prescribe and monitor your medications and progress.
