What can i do for my unexplained weight loss without going to a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: Unexplained weight loss can be due to a number of factors: inflammatory disease, infectious diseases, malnutrition, or even serious conditions like cancer. None of these can be treated without a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional. Unexplained weight loss is usually not a good thing: get it checked out and soon.
