Lose Weight
A person’s normal BMI or body weight index should not exceed 25. Overweight people have 25-29 BMI, while obese people have over 30 BMI. These conditions are caused by overeating unhealthy food, psychological issues, genetics, lack of physical activities, underlying health conditions, and stress. Being overweight or obese can negatively affect a person’s physical and mental health. These conditions can even affect a person’s confidence and self-esteem.
Patients who are overweight and obese have high levels of hormones, glycerol, blood glucose, cytokines, and fatty acids. Aside from the internal factors, they also deal with the layers of fats they have to work around when cleaning their genitals. Because of these conditions, they are more prone to infection, irritation, and inflammation, which can lead to balanitis.
Obesity treatment differs from one person to another. Other people can lose weight by exercising and following a strict and healthy diet. However, people with underlying conditions like diabetes and hormonal imbalance that cause obesity must address these health conditions first before successfully losing weight. It is even harder to lose weight for people battling mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and severe stress.
