Feeling hungry all the time and wanting to eat may be caused by physiological factors such as excessive exercise consumption, excessive stress, etc. It may also be caused by pathological factors such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc. If you exclude physiological factors, you should go to the hospital in time for examination and diagnosis.
Diabetes mellitus is caused by insulin deficiency or reduced insulin action in the body due to different etiologic factors or pathogenic mechanisms, and the clinical manifestations are generally excessive drinking, excessive eating, excessive urination and weight loss.
If diabetes mellitus is identified, the diet should be low in salt, sugar and fat, and appropriate medication should be chosen according to the diagnosis, such as oral hypoglycemic drugs such as insulinotropic agents, non-insulinotropic agents, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and other drugs, or injections of insulin.
Hyperthyroidism is caused by overproduction of thyroid hormones. Clinical manifestations generally include hyper appetite, irritability, tachycardia, and enlarged thyroid gland.
If hyperthyroidism is identified, dietary restrictions on iodine are required, and depending on the diagnosis, appropriate medications such as metamizole (MMI) and propylthiothiothiophene (PTU) or surgical treatment should be prescribed, with regular follow-ups.
The use of medication and treatment should be under the supervision of a doctor.
