Are you facing inexplicable weight loss?
This is often the manifestation of "cachexia," a complex syndrome characterised not just by weight loss but also accelerated metabolism, significant muscle depletion, fatigue, decreased appetite, and a downturn in quality of life, commonly seen in advanced cancer stages.
Cachexia's additional challenges include:
- Chronic fatigue.
- Diminished strength.
- An energy deficit affecting routine tasks.
The catalyst for this weight loss typically stems from a loss of appetite due to factors such as:
- Altered metabolic functions affecting food conversion to energy.
- Nausea or vomiting occurrences.
- Digestive disruptions like constipation or diarrohea.
- Mouth sores complicate eating.
- Issues with chewing or swallowing.
- Reduced taste sensitivity or change in taste.
- Depressive moods or sustained emotional lows.
- Persistent pain.
At Vitawell, we recognise these challenges and actively collaborate with patients to craft personalised a nutritional plan.
This plan may involve increasing caloric intake or adapting food consistency to accommodate issues with swallowing or chewing, ensuring patients maintain proper nutrition throughout their treatment journey.
