Why is my mother losing weight without reason?

My mother is losing weight without any reason? Is it a sign of cancer?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd July '24

While losing weight une­xpectedly doesn't ne­cessarily mean cancer, it could signify various conditions. Don't worry imme­diately. Other symptoms might occur, such as constant e­xhaustion, appetite fluctuations, or discomfort. Common reasons include­ stress, thyroid problems, or diabete­s. However, to be ce­rtain, seeking professional me­dical evaluation is essential.

Fews days Back I got viral fever I was cure later according to blood test reports i find blood infection then I got joint pains on legs when stoped antibiotics gain join pains was getting

Female | 20

You might have been affected by an infection with a virus that has in turn caused a blood infection which in turn may cause joint pains in your legs. Antibiotics can disrupt the equilibrium of our body's good bacteria, causing joint pain. For relief of the joint pains, you can try gently exercising, using heat or ice treatment, and taking a break. Stay well-hydrated and eat fresh and good foods to provide adequate support to your body during the healing process.

Hello doctor good morning Naku Sickle cell trait 69% undi nenu present medicines em use cheyatledu kani naku jaundice 2points undi idhi thaggutunda ?? Dinivalla nenu chala suffer avutunna And Naku spleen enlargement undi apudu apudu left side Pain vostundi undi spleen reduce avadha ?

స్త్రీ | 28

The sickle cell trait itself implies the fact that you have a gene that encodes it but not its full condition. Jaundice might result from other conditions but not from sickle cell trait. The pain on the left side where the spleen is may be a symptom of it being enlarged. See your orthodox doctor for safety reasons so you may be treated properly.

I think I am having hiv.. what can I do whether iam having hiv or not.

Male | 32

Common signs of HIV include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. The virus spreads mainly through unprotected sex and sharing needles. To address your worries, consider getting tested for HIV, as early detection is crucial for effective management. Consulting a hematologist can provide clarity and support tailored to your situation. They can guide you through testing, and if needed, discuss potential treatments. Remember, many people living with HIV lead healthy lives with proper care.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore

Male | 20

When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.

My morphology level is 3 is this normal or any problem

Male | 31

If you have a morphology level of 3, it may mean that there is a slight imbalance in your body. This could lead to symptoms such as feeling tired and having difficulty concentrating. Some common reasons for this are an inadequate diet, lack of physical activity, or stress. You can address these issues by eating well-balanced meals regularly, engaging in regular physical exercise, and employing stress-relieving techniques like deep breathing or meditation.

Male | 23

The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.

It is important to develop accountability that would help find ways to rectify the issues that might be caused by certain things like symptoms, nutrition, and lifestyle factors. Such examples are anemia, infections, or nutritional deficiencies, which can be easily fixed by a better diet and correct vitamins. To get a more definite response to your tests and required actions, you must talk to your healthcare provider first.

Female | 58

Your WBC count is slightly low at 3.73; RBC is normal at 4.57. NEU is also lower at 1.78. Low WBC sugge­sts weaker immunity, making infections more­ likely. Have nutritious meals, ample­ sleep, stay hydrated. If unwe­ll, see a doctor for examination and guidance­.

Male | 21

A 4th generation test is often correct after 4 weeks of exposure to HIV. These include flu-like symptoms like fever and fatigue, whereas some people may have no symptoms. If you're concerned about your HIV status, you should get a test. The test can calm your mind. It is a good idea always to stay safe and get checked.

Female | 21

Alpha thalassemia major can be present in a patient who does not require blood transfusions. This form of the disorder can result in severe anemia, although it affects people differently. Some individuals may not need a transfusion at all. Signs and symptoms of alpha thalassemia may include fatigue, weakness, or paleness of skin. Treatment may consist of symptom management such as taking supplements or drugs that stimulate the production of more red blood cells within the body. Please consult a doctor for individualized advice.

The­ tests show you have a bit higher CRP le­vel, meaning some inflammation in your body. Infe­ctions, chronic issues, or stress can cause it. The­ high sensitivity CRP test dete­cts lower inflammation levels be­tter. It's important to find the cause with your doctor and make­ a plan. Rest well, eat he­althy foods, and try to reduce stress to he­lp lower inflammation.

Dear Doctor, today my son under went routine blood and urine test. Most of the parameters are normal except RDW-CV which shows 14.3 %. Normal range as shown i the report is 11.6 - 14.0. Is it serious ? What precautions can be take ?

Male | 30

RDW-CV is a measure of the variation in the size of red blood cells. An increase in RDW-CV can be a sign of anemia or nutritional deficiencies. Fatigue, weakness, and paleness may be among the symptoms. To tackle this, ensure a balanced diet that is rich in iron and nutrients. Further assessment by a doctor may be helpful.

The symptoms you mention - rashes, red dots, hot sensation, and shortness of breath - may be caused by various reasons other than HIV. For instance, stress and anxiety are also potential causes of these symptoms. To be sure, you can ask a doctor.

I went to general check and blood test. I got CEA test level 8.16 I don't smoke or drink. Reason for it. Is it normal

Male | 55

CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

I have WBC 4.53 out of 5-10 normal range. My Neutrophils NEU % 43.3 with normal range 50-62 and lymphoctes lym% 49.2 with normal range 25-40. What does this mean? I used 2 weeks antibiotics for my UTI but this was 3 months ago

Female | 24

Your most recent blood test results show that your leukocyte count and various kinds of cells are slightly outside the range of normal. This might suggest that your body is still in the process of recovering from the urinary tract infection you had three months ago. The antibiotics you have been taking could influence these numbers, too. Ensure you drink enough water, consume a healthy diet, and observe any new symptoms that may arise.

I'm depressed that is I'm hiv positive pls help me

Male | 19

If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV, it is quite normal to feel low. Symptoms of HIV include fever, sore throat, and being more tired than usual. The virus makes the immune system weaker, so the body cannot fight infections easily. Always, keep the thought in your mind that HIV is treatable with the help of medications. Medicines can indeed assist you in leading a healthy life. Discuss with your doctor initiating medication and going to support groups.

It's important to address each of your conditions with a specialist to manage your health effectively. Please consult an ENT specialist and a gastroenterologist for the maxillary mucosal disease and pseudo pancreatic cyst. For your bipolar affective disorder and associated symptoms like fatigue and heart rate irregularities, continue following up with your psychiatrist.
