What happens if Weight Management is left untreated?

Untreated weight issues lead to increased risk of serious health complications including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, joint problems, and certain cancers. Progressive weight gain creates metabolic dysfunction, reduces life expectancy, and significantly diminishes quality of life. Early intervention prevents these complications and establishes healthier long-term trajectories.

When should you see a doctor?

Consult Dr A V Srikar if your BMI exceeds 25, if you experience unexplained weight gain or loss, or if weight affects your daily activities and health. Seek immediate evaluation if you have obesity with comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep disorders. Early professional guidance ensures safe, effective weight management and prevents progression of weight-related health complications.
