Loss of appetite, also known as anorexia, is a condition where a person experiences a reduced desire to eat or a complete lack of appetite. It can be a temporary or chronic condition and can occur due to various reasons, such as illness, stress, depression, medication side effects, or a medical condition.
Some of the common medical conditions that can cause loss of appetite include:
Treatment of loss of appetite depends on the underlying cause. If the loss of appetite is caused by a medical condition, treating the condition can often help improve appetite. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to stimulate appetite.
Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding foods that are difficult to digest can also help improve appetite.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience persistent loss of appetite or have concerns about your appetite. Your healthcare provider can help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
