Not Gaining Weight as a 15 year old Teenager
Hi Doctor, I am a Teenager 15-year-old, and I’ve not been gaining weight for the past 2-3 years and right now I am just 30kg I think. My height is 161 cm, and that is going well and great, and my health condition is good and went to the clinic, the doctors said I am healthy and perfectly alright with my health, but I don’t know what’s going on, Doctor. Please give me a solution to my problem doctor.

Greetings, thank you for the question.
This answer is a general information about the problem you are facing. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to talk to a doctor.
Underweight can be caused by several factors such as:
- Genetics (heredity)
- High metabolism
- Digestive problems (such as Coeliac disease)
- Insulin problems (such as type 1 diabetes)
- Stress / emotional stress
- Thyroid disease (hyper-thyroid)
- parasitic infections
If this problem persists and worsens, you are advised to see a doctor for proper consultation and treatment.
However, this information is only a general information about your problem. In order to get a confirmation about the diagnosis of the disease, you need to undergo an examination. I recommend you to see a doctor nearby for a complete examination and treatment. You can also click on the link (DoctorOnCall) to contact our specialist doctors online for more information. Thank you
