Causes, symptoms and treatment of metabolic disorders in women
The main link in the full functioning of the body is metabolism - a chain of chemical processes. When this chain is violated, all systems of the body are exposed to stress, which becomes stress for him, transforming into various diseases.
The main goal of metabolic processes is to maintain sufficient energy in the body, which creates the necessary conditions for the life and functioning of all human systems and organs.
Causes of metabolic disorders in women
The cause of impaired metabolism in women may lie in an unbalanced diet. Many ladies are fans of radical short-term weight loss methods. Too strict diets, fasting days, fasting are also harmful as abundant food and food once a day. Nervous overstrain or severe stress can disrupt metabolic processes, since the nervous system takes part in metabolism.
Dysfunction of the pituitary gland, which occurs due to abortion, inflammation of the genitals, childbirth with large blood loss, can be considered as the cause of metabolic disorders, manifested in the form of obesity. We must not forget about the age factor. At the end of childbearing age, sex hormones are not produced by the body of women, which is a dangerous violation of metabolism. The risk group includes women who smoke and drink alcohol. Any harmful effect inhibits the functional abilities of the organs of internal secretion.
There are other reasons that affect metabolic disruptions: hereditary predisposition, unreasonably planned daily regimen, the presence of severe diseases, the presence of worms and microorganisms in the body, as well as other factors. Metabolic disorders can and should be treated. The main thing is to contact a specialist in a timely manner, who will be able to establish the body's work in a short time. An endocrinologist deals with these problems.
Symptoms of metabolic disorders in women
Metabolism is a specific process of the body, which is involved in the processing and direction of all the elements necessary for the body, obtained from liquid, food, air. Violation of this process leads to a deficiency of something important and, therefore, a failure occurs in the entire system. After a short time, a woman may experience various symptoms, which, without the intervention of a specialist, can transform into serious diseases that are difficult to treat.
In order not to miss precious time and seek help in time, it is important to know and understand your body, as well as soberly assess your own lifestyle, while paying attention to alarming symptoms. The reason for a visit to the doctor may be a sharp change in body weight (increase or decrease), periodic irritation in the throat, which can be defined as "perspiration", hunger and thirst that are difficult to quench, a failure in the monthly cycle, the onset of menopause. An indicator can be an unreasonable destruction of the structure of hair and teeth, indigestion or constipation.
Pay attention to any symptoms that are not typical for normal body function. Fixing several of the above symptoms indicates the need for treatment, but only under the supervision of a doctor and after appropriate tests. Letting go of the problem on its own, you will aggravate the condition by gaining excess weight, blood vessels will clog with cholesterol and there will be a risk of diabetes, stroke or heart attack. Difficulty walking with swollen legs and shortness of breath will exacerbate the imbalance and make treatment more difficult.
Treatment of metabolic disorders in women
Treatment of metabolic disorders is quite complex. Diseases based on genetic disorders require regular therapy, under constant medical supervision. Acquired diseases can be cured early. Special attention should be paid to the diet and its regime. The first rule is to reduce and control the amount of animal fat and carbohydrates eaten by a woman. The use of split meals helps to reduce the amount of food consumed at one time. This measure gradually decreases appetite, and the volume of the stomach decreases.
A very important factor in the treatment of metabolism is proper sleep patterns. Timely rehabilitation after exposure to stressful situations has a beneficial effect on the psyche and normalizes metabolic processes. Rationally selected physical activity, which increases the body's energy costs, will help to dispose of excess fat. All of these measures represent a complex of factors in the treatment process. For a competent restoration of a disturbed metabolism, it is necessary to consult a therapist, endocrinologist, gynecologist.
