Hi doctor...... my dad is 56 years old. he lost 3kg in 1 month without trying to lose weight. he has no other symptoms. should we be scared?? thanks

I would not be: concerned unless he continues to lose weight. Then he needs full evaluation by doctor. Maybe his appetite is off this past month? Could he be anxious or depressed? This can make you lose weight. Hope this helps!
