Excessive Weight Gain — Which Doctor Should I See?

Excessive weight gain can result from overeating, lack of physical activity, hormonal imbalances, medications, thyroid disorders, metabolic conditions, stress, poor sleep, or underlying medical conditions like PCOS or Cushing's syndrome.

Consult a doctor if you gain more than 2-3 pounds per week, experience sudden unexplained weight gain, have swelling in legs or feet, feel fatigued, or gain weight despite not changing your diet or exercise habits.

Maintain a balanced diet, increase physical activity, manage stress through relaxation techniques, ensure adequate sleep, limit sugary drinks, track calorie intake, and consult healthcare providers to rule out underlying medical conditions.
