Hormonal problems can make it difficult for you to lose weight. Because of its effects on appetite and metabolism, some hormone diseases may have problems such as obesity, changing the distribution of fat in the body. Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Specialist Prof. Dr. told about hormonal problems that make it difficult to lose weight and gave important information.

Insulin resistance:

Insulin ensures the passage of sugar in the blood into the cell. If there is a problem with this mechanism, an attempt is made to regulate blood sugar by releasing more insulin. In this case, the tasks of insulin related to fat metabolism are performed in an exaggerated way, there is an increase in fatness and weight gain in the abdominal region. People with insulin resistance have a reduced tolerance to hunger, they gain weight easily and lose it hard.

Hypothyroidism (lack of thyroid hormones):

A decrease in the level of thyroid hormones can lead to a tendency to gain weight. Because both the metabolism slows down and water is retained in the body. But the hypothyroid gland is not the main cause of pronounced obesity, but appears as a factor that increases the existing problem. Trying to lose weight using excessive amounts of thyroid hormones can lead to quite serious problems such as heart rhythm disorders, bone resorption, should not be preferred.

Menopause:

Sex hormones are also important in the distribution of body fat. With menopause in women, estrogen decreases, which causes fat in the body to settle in the abdominal area.

Cushing’s syndrome:

It is a rare cause of obesity caused by a tumor in which the hormone cortisol is released excessively, with many symptoms such as abdominal tue, thinning of the arms and legs.

Cortisol:

Cortisone, which is given as a medicine, can also have a similar effect by converting into cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone released by stress in the body, but it is a controversial issue that stress can cause weight gain.Tue is a hormone that is released by stress in the body, but it is a controversial issue that stress can cause weight gain.

Growth hormone:
