A member asked:
Is it true that you can't target weight loss on your body? and will it eventually target each part of my body and slim it down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it is difficult: to slim one area of the body down. Overall weight loss is the typical response to lifestyle changes such as a better food plan and exercise. You can learn exercises such as yoga and stretching to tone up muscles in specific areas however. Peace and good health.

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
