Hello my name (… female) I am almost 21 years old, for the past year or so I have noticed a massive change in myself, I have went from being 12 stone down to 8 without having any change of diet or exercise and this was in the space of about 5/6 months I put it down to stress with college but I am no longer under stress. I have always had an issue with my weight so when I first started to lose it I was sort of happy but then it got worrying. I have now started noticing bruises that randomly appear all over my legs without any injury and I am constantly pale in colour. I have been tested for an iron deficiency and thyroid but they came back clear. what could this be?
hi
unexplained weight loss can be due to hormonal changes at your age, inadequate calories intake or digestion issues.
malignancies or lymphomas also can present in similar fashion.
consult a physician.
thanks
HI
THIS CAN BE DUE TO SYSTEMIC CAUSES AND DETAILED BLOOD EXAMINATION NEEDS TO BE DONE.
LIVER FUNCTION TESTS WILL HELP ASSESS THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF LIVER.
SGOT ,SGPT,ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE NEED TO BE TESTED.
My opinion is In your age possibility is nutrional defeciency.. Vitamin K,C and minerals like zinc,iron and biflavonoids are causes of your problem..
In my opinion you have systemic lupus
I recommend you see a Rheumatologist
Good Luck
hello there
chronic inflammatory diseases should be kept in mind.
a detailed medical check up and blood investigation should be done.
take iron and protein supplements.
