Symptoms of obesity

Simple obesity can be seen at any age, about 1 / 2 adult obese people have a history of childhood obesity, generally showing slow weight gain (except for women after childbirth). If the body weight increases rapidly in a short time, secondary obesity should be considered. The distribution of fat was mainly in neck, trunk and head in male, but in abdomen, lower abdomen, chest, breast and buttock in female.

Obese people are characterized by short and round figure, narrow and wide face, double chin, thick and short neck, backward head and occipital skinfold thickening. The chest is round, the intercostal space is not obvious, and the breasts are enlarged due to the thickness of subcutaneous fat. When standing, the abdomen protrudes forward and is higher than the chest plane, and the navel hole is deeply concave. In the patients with short-term obesity, fine purple or white lines can be seen on both sides of the lower abdomen, on both thighs and on the inside of the upper arm and on the outside of the buttocks. The external genitalia of obese children is buried in the subcutaneous fat of perineum, which makes the penis appear small and short. The fingers and toes are thick and short, and the skin at the protrusion of metacarpophalangeal joint is depressed due to fat thickening on the back of hand, and the bone process is not obvious.

Mild to moderate primary obesity may not have any self-conscious symptoms, while severe obesity is more afraid of heat, reduced activity, even mild shortness of breath during activity, snoring during sleep. May have hypertension, diabetes, gout and other clinical manifestations.

Medication may produce side effects and drug resistance, so the selection of indications for drug treatment must be very careful, and the possible benefits and potential risks should be measured according to the individual situation of patients.
