Obesity is a condition in which the amount of fat in the body is more than it should be.
Obesity itself is a disease, so it must be treated. The existence of morbid obesity
not only paves the way for the development of many diseases, but also negatively affects the course of existing
diseases. These diseases are;
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Hypertension
- Diseases related to the central nervous system (Pseudotumor cerebri)
- Depression
- Sleep apnea syndrome
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (a disease related to the ovaries)
- Asthma
- Fatty liver
- Metabolic syndrome
- Gout
- Reflux disease
- Urinary incontinence
- Joint disorders. In addition, morbid obesity
seriously damages people's quality of life, prevents them from
enjoying life, and causes people to become isolated from society
and causes the person to withdraw into himself
. It causes individuals to be unhappy because it negatively affects both physical and mental health. Studies show that people with morbid obesity live 8 to 10 years less than those without.
Patients who get rid of morbid obesity with treatment regain this period.
