Serious harms of girls being too thin

1. Gastropexy

Don't envy that female colleague beside you who always gets full quickly and can make do with a few mouthfuls of rice for lunch anymore. Only she knows how much torture her stomach undergoes every day: loss of appetite, feeling bloated and distended all the time. If she were to go for an excruciating gastroscopy, the diagnosis might be: gastropexy. Yes, when the body becomes excessively thin, the abdominal wall becomes lax and the abdominal muscles become weak, leading to the relaxation and weakness of the muscles and ligaments that suspend and fix the position of the stomach. The decrease in abdominal pressure causes the physiological position of the entire stomach to drop and gastric peristalsis to weaken, thus triggering gastropexy.

2. Gallstones

Our bile is secreted by the liver and contains cholesterol, bile salts, calcium, and lecithin, among others, which maintain a certain ratio. People who are overly thin generally have insufficient calorie intake, so the fat stored in body tissues is consumed at an accelerated rate, causing cholesterol to move accordingly and increasing its content in bile. This makes the bile viscous, leading to crystal precipitation and sedimentation, eventually forming gallstones.
