Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 24 years old male. For the past five years, my body weight is 45 kg and no changes in weight. I look very skinny and sometimes, get heat abscess too (in six months I have got at least 15 to 20 abscess). Kindly help me why I am unable to gain weight. I have no other health issues. I am normal. The only thing which bothers me is weight and abscess. Guide me if I have to do any checkup.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
First of all, check your blood sugar level as diabetes can be the reason for repeated infection and abscess. So if diabetes present sugar level should be controlled. Investigate with serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to rule out the thyroid issue. If no any organic cause present than nutritionist help taken to modify diet. Consult a physician for examination. Take care.
