Patient's Query

Hi this enquiry related from my wife she has gain 100 kg weight and she was covid positive but I want to know how can you reduce the fat from whole body and what about the side effect, precautions and after this treat she can conceive or not please suggest me. Regards Prasann Kumar

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

Your wife's weight loss course will commence with dieting, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
And in the event that they don't return desired results, only then she will be granted some medical or surgical treatment, but that would be parallel to her ongoing efforts pertaining to her diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

 

  • To move on to prescription based remedies, she would be required to meet one of the following criteria:
    1. Her body mass index (BMI) is equivalent of or greater than 30
    2. Her BMI is greater than 27, and additionally, she has medical complications linked with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
       
  • Before prescribing any medical remedy, the doctor will assess her on the basis of her health history, as well as possible side effects which could likely occur based on whatever symptoms she's showing.
    Weight loss medicine licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) include the following, but she will have to be monitored & permitted by her doctor as well:
    1. Orlistat (Alli, Xenical)
    2. Phentermine and topiramate (Qsymia)
    3. Bupropion and naltrexone (Contrave)
    4. Liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)

When she will stop taking her prescription medication, she might observe that she has regained more or all of her weight. And there could be side effects & risks as well, so keep the doctor updated on a routine basis.
 

  • Endoscopic surgeries: less invasive surgical procedures concerned with limiting her overall intake of food, we have given some gist below, just for your reference:
    1. Planting stitches inside her stomach so as to reduce its size and the amount of food which she can consume.
    2. Or inserting a small balloon within her stomach, which is then filled with water to limit the space available. This helps you feel fuller quicker.
       
  • Bariatric surgeries: These are surgical methods that have the same function as our endoscopic surgeries, but with more invasive procedures.
    1. She will qualify for them if earlier methods failed, but for this she would also have to be extremely obese (BMI of 40 or greater), and if her BMI happens to be between 35 to 39.9, then her serious weight-related problems will be taken into consideration as well.
    2. Following are the procedures which she can be counted for: gastric by-pass, adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and gastric sleeve.
       
  • Vagal nerve blockade:
    1. It involves implanting a device under the skin of the abdomen, which transmits intermittent electrical pulses to the abdominal vagus nerve, same helps in communicating to the brain when the stomach is empty or full.
    2. Adult individuals who have not been able to lose weight and who have a BMI of 35 to 45, coupled with some obesity-related disease, are also eligible.
       
  • Proceeding to weight loss treatment cost, the surgical procedures will cost anywhere between Rs. 2,25,000 to Rs. 7,00,000. Whereas dieting-related consultation can vary from rs. 1,200 to rs. 20,000.
     

For more information regarding obesity, you can visit experts and use our page to find them: Dietitian/Nutritionists in Bangalore, she will start out with these specialists but as she advances to further stages owing to her complications, she will be referred to other doctors as well. Let us know if you reside in a different city, to recieve better recommendations.

Female | 13

A hernia is when an organ comes out of a hole in the muscle, making a bump and hurting you. After the surgery, it frequently occurs. The recommendation is to consult your physician without delay. Your doctor might also propose surgery if the hernia is not corrected. Do not lift heavy stuff or strain your belly as it may worsen the hernia during this period.

I fell like lump on my left side belly i am worried about this

Male | 22

Finding a new lump in your abdomen could be a fright but it is also logical. It may not necessarily be a lump in here but mostly the following: a pulled muscle, a lipoma (a fatty lump), or the very worst case a hernia. Most of these lumps are not dangerous but it is concerned if there are changes or other symptoms along with it, such as pain or swelling. It is always better to talk to your health provider so that you are not misdiagnosed, and the problem does not get any knockout worse. Feel free to get in touch with a doctor as they are the ones who can really help you by giving your specific advice and reassuring you about your health.

Hernia elipsia treatment and causes

Male | 34

A hernia typically occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle. Symptoms may include a noticeable bulge, discomfort, or pain in the affected area. Common causes involve heavy lifting, obesity, or age-related muscle deterioration. Treatment usually involves surgery to repair the weakened area, which can effectively alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and manage weight to reduce risk. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice tailored to your specific situation.

I have a cut injury please help what should I do in this injury

Female | 28

You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away. Take care and be well!

Can I drink mild alcohol after inguinal hernia surgery 7 weeks?

Male | 25

After surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's generally safe to consume mild alcohol seven weeks post-operation, provided you feel well and have no complications. Alcohol can affect healing if consumed excessively, leading to dehydration or gastrointestinal issues, which may hinder recovery. If you experience any unusual symptoms like increased pain, swelling, or nausea after drinking, it's wise to stop and consult your healthcare provider. Always listen to your body and prioritize your wellness.

If a cut was applied at the time of delivery, stitches were not applied due to the patient's condition becoming worse, so is it possible that the wound can be healed by applying stitches again after five years?

Male | 36

It is possible to stitch a cut, even if it happened many years ago. When a cut isn’t stitched at the start, the wound may continue to bleed, could leave a scar, and may take a longer time to heal. If the injury is still causing issues like pain, redness, or discharge even after 5 years, it might need proper treatment to heal completely. It’s best to have a doctor examine the injury and advise on the most effective treatment.

Female | 22

HIV is a virus that can be transmitted by blood. Acknowledging the low probability of contagion in your case, because the wound is almost healed. In case you get some symptoms like fever or body aches, then don't be scared it doesn't mean that you have AIDS.
