Weight loss refers to a reduction in body weight. It can be intentional (when someone aims to lose weight for health reasons) or unintentional (due to underlying health conditions). If you experience unintentional weight loss or have difficulty losing weight despite following a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider. Gastroenterologists can help identify any underlying conditions and recommend appropriate treatments or interventions.
