Causes for uncontrolled weight gain or difficulty with weight loss can range from nonthreatening to dangerous. These include:

• Lifestyle (eating more, lack of physical activity, bloating, constipation, lack of sleep)
• Hormonal (menstrual cycle, stress, depression, anxiety, perimenopause or menopause)
• Fluid retention (from certain medications or dehydration)
• Pregnancy
• Hormone conditions (hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS))
• Serious Health Conditions (heart failure, kidney disease, cirrhosis (liver disease))
• Rare diseases (Cushing syndrome, Acromegaly, cancer)

At A7 Health, the doctor will perform an assessment and physical exam to determine the cause of your weight problems. Additional tests may be recommended. In most cases, the causes are non-threatening, and our doctors will work with you to develop a personalised plan that may include lifestyle changes, a nutrition plan and exercise. If a condition is diagnosed, the doctor will prescribe the necessary medications to treat it. If necessary, the doctor will refer you to a specialist.
