My weight is increasing steadily. Can you suggest effective ways to lose weight?

If your weight is increasing steadily, start by reviewing your daily diet and portion sizes, reducing sugary, fried, and processed foods, and increasing vegetables and protein. Aim for at least 30-45 minutes of regular exercise like brisk walking or strength training, along with proper sleep and stress control. Small, consistent lifestyle changes give better long-term results than crash diets.

Is there any treatment for lipoma without surgery? What diet can help reduce it, and what foods should I take to prevent it?

Lipomas usually don't go away without surgery, and no specific diet can remove them. Eating healthy, balanced meals, avoiding too much oily or junk food, and staying active may help prevent new growths. Regular checkups can help monitor existing lipomas.

I had my last period 10 months ago. I weigh 74 kg and am 5'3". I want to lose weight. What would you advise?

Since you have not had your period for 10 months, it is important to first consult a gynaecologist to rule out causes like hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, PCOS, or perimenopause. For weight loss, focus on portion control, reducing sugar and refined carbs, and doing at least 30-45 minutes of brisk walking or exercise daily. Proper sleep and stress control also play an important role.

I am 34 years old with a height of 174 cm and a weight of 90 kg, and I have excess fat mainly in my abdomen and double chin for the last 15 years. I am taking Exam 5, Nebicard 5, and Aztor 10 daily, and my uric acid level remains high. How can I get rid of these problems naturally?

Your weight and abdominal fat are likely related to long-term lifestyle habits and raised uric acid. Follow a portion-controlled diet, reduce sugar and fried foods, and walk for at least 30 minutes daily. Avoid red meat, organ meat, and alcohol to help lower uric acid. Continue your medicines regularly and review with your doctor for personalised advice.

I have been suffering from lower back pain for the past 4 years. My MRI shows pressure on L4?L5?L6 due to being overweight. Doctors have advised me to reduce weight, but I am unable to run much because of the pain. I get relief only when I take medicines regularly; otherwise, I experience severe lower back pain. Could you please suggest a permanent solution?

Long-standing lower back pain due to pressure at L4?L5?L6 often improves with weight reduction and spine-strengthening exercises, not running. Try low-impact activities like walking, swimming, cycling, and guided physiotherapy to strengthen core muscles and reduce strain on the spine. Maintain proper posture, avoid heavy lifting, and follow up with an orthopaedic or spine specialist.
