how can i gain weight? i've ate a lot of food everyday, almost more than 3 meals a day. but my bmi says i'm still underweight..

Question

My height is 1.532 m my weight is 44.543 kg and my BMI is 18.98 kg . I can't seem to gain weight even with bc pills. Am i consider underweight?

Answer 1

How tall are you,: How much to you weight, what is your age and gender? If you are otherwise healthy, do not worry about low bmi. In a few years you will gain weight without trying and then will look back at this period fondly.

Answer 2

High density foods: Eat high density foods- like peanut butter and nuts, avocado has alot of calories and is a good source of good fat.

Answer 3

Often: The more "tummy time" your baby gets, the rounder her head will be and the easier it will be for her to learn to roll, sit and crawl. Tummy time - as much as possible!

Answer 4

Often as can: As often as you can while awake. Start with 2-3 minutes aftwr each diaper change to remind yourself. Get down with baby to look at you and/or toys. Increase time and frequency as baby gets stronger.

Answer 5

Yes: Your period shouldn't start until the end of the pack during the placebo portion. During days 22-28.

Answer 6

No: Fatty liver at your age should not be causing pain in that area.

Answer 7

Probably not: Fatty liver from obesity is a common condition. Most people don't experience any symptoms from it. Stretching of the liver could give some discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen, but again, most people with fatty liver don't feel their liver and if they do, cramping wouldn't be a typical description of the discomfort. Sounds like it's worth having your primary care provider take a look.

Answer 8

More likely minor pb: If constipated, the rocks you pass likely caused a fissure or scratch in the anal passage which leaks bright red blood onto the stool or puddles in the stool ready to pass. Dark red or purplish stool is more likely to represent polyps or other issues higher in the colon.See your doctor & have this assessed.

Answer 9

Take action: You should be seen. If you have blood in your stool weight loss and change in bowel habit. At 34 top choices would be inflammatory bowel disease or IBS. Probably best to see a gastroenterologist, but a good start would be with your PCP.

Answer 10

Consider tumor.: Weight loss and anemia can contribute to both fatigue and dizzyness. The question is is the anemia related to the pelvic pain. Hypothetically the answer is yes. Tumors of the sigmoid colon, rectum, bladder, uterus ovaries or prostate can cause anemia and the related symptoms although high on the list are colorectal cancers. See your md for possible colonoscopy and/or ct scan of the pelvis.
