It can be improved by rubbing the abdomen, exercising properly, and eating less fatty meat, cakes and other foods;
2. Intestinal flora disorder: long-term use of antibiotics is easy to cause intestinal flora disorder, due to the decrease of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and the increase of harmful bacteria, it can lead to decreased appetite and gastrointestinal indigestion, which may lead to malnutrition and emaciation for a long time. It can be treated with Saccharomyces boulardii powder and Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablets;
3. Diabetes: When blood sugar is not well controlled, it can cause emaciation, manifested as gastrointestinal indigestion, lack of weight, polydipsia and polyuria. Drugs such as metformin tablets and acarbose tablets can be given, and insulin injections may be given if necessary;
4. Hypothyroidism: due to insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones, the body's metabolism is reduced, and there will also be gastrointestinal indigestion, not growing fat, often accompanied by memory loss, drowsiness and other symptoms.
