FAQ's

Loss of appetite may present with reduced interest in food, feeling full quickly after eating small amounts, unintentional weight loss, fatigue, and weakness. It can also be accompanied by changes in taste perception or aversion to certain foods.

Loss of appetite can be a symptom of various medical conditions such as infections (like flu or COVID-19), digestive disorders (such as gastritis or peptic ulcers), chronic illnesses (including cancer, kidney disease, or liver disease), hormonal imbalances (like thyroid disorders), and mental health issues (such as depression or anxiety).

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive medical history review, physical examination, and possibly laboratory tests to identify any underlying medical conditions contributing to the loss of appetite. Imaging studies or endoscopic procedures may be recommended based on the clinical findings.

Treatment varies depending on the underlying cause. It may include addressing the specific medical condition causing appetite loss, adjusting medications, nutritional counseling to improve diet quality and meal planning, psychological support for mental health concerns, and lifestyle modifications to promote appetite stimulation.
