Endocrine disorders can be fat?

Endocrine disorders may lead to obesity.

When certain hormones in the endocrine system are secreted abnormally, such as thyroid hormones, the basal metabolic rate will decrease, the energy consumed by the body will decrease, and the remaining calories will be converted into fat storage, resulting in weight gain. In addition, endocrine disorders may lead to insulin resistance, resulting in reduced cell sensitivity to insulin, so that blood sugar can not be effectively used and stored, the body will compensate for the secretion of more insulin to maintain blood sugar balance, and high insulin levels will promote fat synthesis and storage, resulting in weight gain.

If you find that your weight continues to increase for unknown reasons, accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, such as menstrual disorders, emotional abnormalities, etc., you should seek medical advice in time, relevant examinations and diagnosis, in order to identify the cause and take targeted treatment measures.
