Obesity and medical weight management
This page covers obesity assessment, possible hormonal causes of weight gain and weight-related diabetes. Medical weight management includes a discussion of whether weight-loss medicines are suitable.
Conditions we see
A weight consultation can include questions about thyroid conditions, Cushing's or PCOS as possible hormonal causes of weight gain. It can also address weight-related diabetes. The focus of the visit can therefore differ according to the concerns you bring and the conditions already being reviewed.
Medical weight management includes consideration of whether medicines are suitable. This page does not name medicines or give instructions for using them. The assessment article and Hindi resource linked below provide further reading to support a discussion with the clinic about your own situation.
