Loss of Appetite — Which Doctor Should I See?

Loss of appetite can result from infections, medications, stress, depression, digestive issues, cancer treatment, or underlying medical conditions. It may also occur with hormonal changes or aging.

Consult a doctor if appetite loss lasts more than a few weeks, causes weight loss, is accompanied by other symptoms, or affects your daily functioning and nutrition.

Try eating smaller, frequent meals, choosing nutrient-dense foods, staying hydrated, eating with others, and using appealing flavors. Address underlying causes and consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
