Some women suddenly have an increase in appetite in their daily lives. This may be a sign of a physical problem, so it is necessary to deal with it correctly. If there are other abnormalities in the body, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

What disease causes a sudden increase in appetite? diabetes. Because a large amount of glucose is excreted in the urine, it stimulates the brain's eating center in a feedback manner, making the patient often hungry and requiring more food supplements. In addition to eating more, these patients also have the "three mores and one less" symptoms of thirst, polyuria, and weight loss.

Hyperthyroidism. The large amount of thyroid hormone secreted increases the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates and fats in the body, resulting in excessive consumption of heat energy and the appearance of various symptoms of hypermetabolism, such as sweating, palpitations, weight loss, etc. In addition, patients with hyperthyroidism may also experience insomnia, bad temper, hand tremors, headaches, high blood pressure, enlarged thyroid gland, etc.

Hypercortisolism. After the onset of the disease, patients develop hyperphagia and abnormal obesity, such as facial obesity and fat accumulation in the chest and abdomen, while the limbs are not obese and are sometimes even thin, which forms a very sharp contrast with the obese torso and is called "centripetal obesity."

Gastrinoma. Gastrinoma is a rare gastrointestinal pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor that may stimulate gastric acid secretion because of the active growth of early tumor cells.

Polyphagia nervosa. Some patients do not have any organic diseases, but they are often "hungry" and always feel that they are not full no matter how much they eat. Sometimes people may "faint" if they don't eat in time. This type of problem is mostly caused by neurasthenia.

In addition, diseases such as hookworm disease, red worm disease, and obesity-related reproductive impotence may also cause symptoms of hyperphagia. Therefore, if you feel that your appetite is very different from usual and you cannot control the urge to eat for a period of time, you should be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying treatment.
