Weight loss with tumors - an anxiety of the 60s

Outpatient, a female patient came to the hospital.

This female patient is in her fifties and nearly sixty years old.

Her purpose in seeking medical treatment was to worry that she had a tumor.

Weight loss with tumors - an anxiety of the 60s

This concern comes from two reasons.

First, she checked a tumor marker and found that one of the indicators was high (in fact, it was only slightly higher).

Another problem was that she felt like she had diarrhea from time to time.

But the cause of diarrhea is clear to herself. It is that she will have diarrhea as soon as she eats a self-prepared diet meal.

This self-matching diet meal is - raw eggs are washed with boiling water and then corn flour is added.

She had diarrhea as soon as she ate this diet meal. If you don't eat it, you don't.

I looked at her and felt that she was not tall or short, not fat or thin. It's quite well-proportioned, and the long hair of the shawl is quite dark. The dress is also quite literary.

"You don't have to lose weight, do you?" I say.

"I was going to be fatter, but I've lost some weight," she says, pulling out an instruction manual.

"I'm taking this injection, the tumor marker index is so high, will there be a tumor?"

Semeglutide, oh, this internet celebrity weight loss needle.

"You're too demanding of yourself," I said, "you don't actually have to lose weight." ”

Chatted with her, and felt that why the 60s were also so anxious, what a roll!

……

Finally, she was advised to go for a basic medical examination. Follow up with this tumor marker. Because she had previous erosive gastritis. She was also advised to go for an endoscopy at an optional date.

Here, let's talk about two more issues.

1. Is it good to rinse raw eggs with boiling water?

This recipe should be a TCM recommended recipe.

Some people say that this recipe can clear heat and detoxify...

However, I personally think that there is no problem with eating egg custard after high temperature steaming.

However, I still have doubts about whether boiling water raw eggs can be completely sterilized and feel unsafe.

In case the egg is infected with salmonella or some kind of bacteria, boiling water will definitely not kill.

What's more, many times, the boiling water poured out of the warm water bottle has a lower temperature, and it cannot kill bacteria.

Anyway, I don't eat raw things, to paraphrase an Internet famous saying ~ I don't eat raw things in my life. [Dog Head]

2. Can semeglutide be used for weight loss? Will it cause tumors?

The indications for this drug currently approved in our country are mainly for the treatment of diseases.

For glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes: adults with type 2 diabetes who are treated with metformin and/or sulfonylureas with poor glycaemic control in addition to diet and exercise.

To reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes with cardiovascular disease.

That is, is a drug that should be prescribed by an endocrinologist depending on the patient's disease. Not everyone can use it.

A search can know that semeglutide is an Internet celebrity weight loss injection in China. Because certain specifications of the drug are approved in the United States for weight loss.

This can also be understood, there are many fat people in the United States, many abdominal fat, to say fat, it is really fat. If you don't reduce it, it's fatal.

However, based on the available clinical data, after all, China has not been approved for weight loss.

Moreover, the reason why the Internet is popular is because many times, the people who use him are actually healthy people.

They don't use it because they're really fat. It's just that I feel fat and want to make myself thinner and more beautiful.

Is there any risk for healthy people to become thin and beautiful with semeglutide?

Of course there is.

There is a risk of adverse reactions with any drug.

For example, lifelong exposure to the drug in mice and rats has been shown to cause a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of thyroid C-cell tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) and duration of treatment.

It is unclear whether semeglutide causes human thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid cancer.

However, if there is a risk of tumorigenesis in animal experiments. Then you can't completely avoid the risks in human use.

Therefore, I think that if you want to use drugs to lose weight, you must go to an endocrinologist to assess whether it is necessary.

In real life, I see many people who are losing weight or are losing weight, but they really don't need to lose.

Of course, you can also think that this is a greasy middle-aged female doctor who does not pay attention to personal image. Just listen to it, don't care.
