Edema and sudden weight change: what symptoms require urgent examination
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova said that any changes in the body should be a cause for concern.
She identified several alarming symptoms that, if they appear, require immediate examination.
Pavlova shared the details on her Telegram channel.
First of all, the doctor highlighted changes in weight. If a person loses weight rapidly, then in some cases this may even indicate oncology. A sharp increase in kilograms is also a reason to visit a doctor's office.
Swollen eyelids, a dull complexion and wrinkles may indicate problems with the heart, endocrine system or urinary system.
If swelling persists for a long time, there is a risk of problems with the kidneys, thyroid gland, heart and blood vessels.
Frequent rashes, acne, brittle nails, dandruff, eyelid pain, as well as skin problems (too oily or dry), dark spots in the armpits or on the elbows are another reason to immediately go to the clinic for examination.
Particular attention should also be paid to your psychological state. If you experience mood swings, irritability or apathy, this may indicate a hormonal imbalance.
