Weight Management and Treatment of Obesity Plan
過重及肥胖症是指身體積聚過多脂肪，從而併發各種健康問題，包括二型糖尿病、高血壓、高膽固醇、痛風、脂肪肝、腎衰竭、心臟病、心臟衰竭、中風、關節退化、不育及某些癌症等。及早醫治肥胖症能有效降低患上以上疾病的機會。在部份糖尿病個案中，減低體重更有機會令病情逆轉，重拾健康。
何時適合減肥？
如您患有肥胖症，便應及早治療。如您已出現肥胖症所引起的併發症（最常見的是二型糖尿病、高血壓、痛風及心臟病），便要加快治療步伐。延誤治療不但影響治療效果，更有機會減少治療方案選擇，增加治療難度。
如何開始減肥？
體重管理是一項非常個人化的治療。減肥的第一步是要進行一個詳細的評估。內分泌及糖尿科專科醫生會詳細詢問您的病歷，方便了解您體重上升的原因及您的生活習慣。之後會進行身體檢查及化驗以排除荷爾蒙失調所導致的體重上升，以及評估肥胖的嚴重程度及篩查與肥胖症相關的併發症。
完成評估後會如何跟進？
我們的肥胖症醫學專家將與您一起詳細審視結果，以發現任何與肥胖症相關的併發症，然後討論治療方案，包括改變生活方式、藥物治療或其他體重管理方案。然後，我們將幫助您選擇個人化的體重管理計劃，並密切跟進進度，以助您輕鬆減磅！
Overweight and obesity refer to the excessive accumulation of body fat, which is associated with many health consequences including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, gout, fatty liver, kidney failure, ischemic heart disease, heart failure,stroke, joint degenerations, fertility problems and even cancers. Early treatment of obesity can help to prevent many of these diseases. In the case of type 2 diabetes, weight reduction has the potential to reverse the disease process, bringing about a remission.
When should I start?
If you suffer from obesity, you should consider getting treatment as soon as possible. The urgency of treatment is increased if you already have comorbidities associated with obesity (most commonly type 2 diabetes, hypertension, gout and ischemic heart disease). Delaying treatment affects the success rate of reversing the comorbidities and impacts on the feasibility of treatment.
How should I start?
Weight reduction is a very personal thing. The first step to treating obesity is to have a thorough assessment. The endocrinologist will take a thorough history to understand the cause of your weight gain and your lifestyle habits. This will be followed by physical examination and investigations to rule out hormonal disturbances that might cause weight gain, as well as assessment on the degree of obesity and to look for presence of obesity comorbidities.
What happens after the Assessment?
Our specialist with an expertise in obesity medicine will go over with you the results in detail to identify any obesity-related complications. Treatment options including lifestyle modification, medications and / or weight loss procedures will be discussed. We will then help you select a personalized weight reduction plan and follow-ups will be available to help you through your weight loss journey.
