When does weight loss become concerning?
My father has lost quite a bit of weight recently without trying, and he's not very old. It's making our family quite worried. At what point does weight loss become concerning enough to see a doctor?

My son lost weight very quickly last year, and I got worried. If it's more than 5% of your body weight in 6 months without trying, it's a red flag. We saw our family doctor and they helped us figure it out.
Beta, if your body is changing too fast without reason, it's not good. My nani always said listen to your body. See a good doctor, they will know best. While home remedies help for small things, this sounds like something a doctor needs to look at properly.
Generally, if you're losing weight without actively trying through diet or exercise, it's worth a medical consultation. The amount and speed matter. It's always best to get a professional opinion from a doctor to understand the underlying cause and get appropriate guidance.
Any unintentional or rapid weight loss should be discussed with a doctor, especially if it's accompanied by other symptoms like fatigue or fever. When I go to my doc, I make sure to ask all my questions clearly and write down their answers. Don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if you're not satisfied.
If it feels wrong, it probably is. Just go to the doctor, don't wait.

Honestly, weight loss that's too fast can be serious. It's better to get it checked out. Ha, I know tests can be costly, but sometimes it's really necessary to rule out anything major. Try a government hospital first for basic checkups, it's more affordable.
