weight loss<\/p>\n
My weight decreased by 5 kilograms within one month, knowing that I did not follow any kind of diet, does it require any tests, with thanks?<\/p>\n
In general, everyone’s weight tends to fluctuate from day to day. However, sudden and unintended weight loss of more than 5% within a few weeks, or 10% within 6 months, is abnormal. If your weight is losing with a change in appetite for no apparent reason, consult your doctor.<\/p>\n
In fact, the reasons for unjustified weight loss are many. Some digestive conditions that may lead to this include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Difficulty swallowing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Disorders due to malabsorption.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Illness of the pancreas or liver.<\/p>\n
\u2022 cancer.<\/p>\n
There are also other diseases that affect other parts of the body and lead to the same results.<\/p>\n
To control unintended weight loss, a calorie-rich diet is generally followed to prevent additional loss, with determining the cause of this deficiency and once the cause is known, the doctor becomes better able to treat the problem<\/p>\n
Mobile acid probing test<\/p>\n
How useful is the ambulatory acid probing test, as I suffer from severe burning in the esophagus?<\/p>\n
This test helps detect acid reflux, a condition in which stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. The test uses an acid-measuring probe to determine the moment and how long the acid refluxes into the esophagus.<\/p>\n
It takes about 15 minutes to insert the probe. During which the patient sits while a nurse or technician sprays anesthetic medication into a ring before a catheter is inserted through the nose (and rarely from the mouth) into the esophagus. The probe is placed just above the muscular valve (lower esophageal sphincter) between the esophagus and stomach. Another path may be placed at the top of the esophagus. It should be noted here that the catheter does not obstruct breathing and the discomfort, if present, is minor for most people.<\/p>\n
The second end of the catheter is attached to a small computer that is placed around the patient’s waist or on the shoulder during the test. The job of this computer is to record acid levels. After installing the device in place, the patient can return to his home or residence and then return the next day to remove the device.<\/p>\n
In fact, knowing the frequency and duration of acid reflux can help your doctor determine the best way to treat the condition. Moreover, this test helps to know whether rebound is responsible for other symptoms such as chest pain, coughing, or wheezing by linking the rebound periods to the moment when these symptoms started.<\/p>\n
The ambulatory acid probing test is also sometimes used to see how effective a prescribed treatment for acid reflux is. A third probe is placed in the stomach, in addition to the two probes fixed at the top and bottom of the esophagus, to measure the level of acid in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
