An increase in appetite is associated with a faster metabolism, usually after exercise, which causes the body to consume a lot of energy that needs to be replenished through food, causing an increase in appetite.
Increased appetite can also be seen after consuming medications such as domperidone tablets for gastric motility, lactobacillus tablets for digestion, and gastrointestinal tablets, which have the effect of accelerating gastric emptying, increasing intestinal motility, and stimulating excessive secretion of gastric acid, causing increased appetite.
Increased appetite is also seen in patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, where reduced or relatively insufficient insulin secretion can cause endocrine dysfunction, resulting in increased appetite, as well as polyuria, polydipsia, and lethargy, or “three more, one less” symptoms.
After the onset of an increased appetite, it should be treated on a case-by-case basis. For physiological causes, it is not necessary to treat the condition, but rather to avoid overeating, which can increase the burden on the stomach and cause bloating, or in the case of diabetes, to take medication.
