What is Weight Loss?

Weight loss refers to a decrease in body weight that can result from various factors, including dietary changes, exercise, underlying medical conditions, or even psychological stress. It can be a planned and healthy process or an unintended symptom of an underlying health issue that requires medical attention.

Common Causes of Weight Loss

The exact cause of Ulcerative Colitis is unknown, but several factors are believed to play a role, including:

  • Dietary Changes: Shifts in dietary patterns, such as caloric restriction or dietary supplements.
  • Medical Conditions: Chronic diseases like diabetes, thyroid disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and cancer.
  • Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to decreased appetite and subsequent weight loss.
  • Medications: Certain medications or treatments like chemotherapy can cause weight loss.

When to Seek Medical Help?

It's crucial to consult a healthcare provider if you experience unexplained weight loss of more than 5% of your body weight within six months, especially when accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, appetite loss, or gastrointestinal problems.
