When does weight loss mean that there are serious problem or cancer thank u?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unexplained: At age 19, you may be exercising for your favorite sport and actually have difficulty maintaining body fat, not that there is any reason to want to. If you feel well, be glad and stop fretting about cancer. If you have abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, night sweats, or a mass, go get seen.
