Can Hormonal Imbalance Cause Abnormal Weight?
I'm 16+, female, 5 ft and 1 inch in height. I'm overweight for my age and my weight is currently 74.4 kilos. I have had recurring urine and blood infections in the past, and have had typhoid and paratyphoid in 2006 and 2011. I have an unusual amount of solid flesh on my legs below the knees. I do not exercise much and I eat a lot. I also spend a major part of everyday sitting. Can my abnormal weight be a result of hormonal imbalance?

Hi
Less than 5% of cases of obesity are because of hormonal imbalance. You are just 16 and from what you have described, you are having a sedentary lifestyle which is the OBVIOUS cause for your obesity. Typhoid and paratyphoid are UNRELATED to the current problem. You need to change you lifestyle and that is the solution to your current problem.
