Understanding Obesity in the Indian Context
Indians develop metabolic risk at lower BMIs. At Ajuda Hospitals in Hyderabad, we focus on waist circumference, visceral fat, and comorbidities like diabetes and fatty liver. Plans integrate millets-forward meals, festival strategies, and shift-work adjustments.
When to Consult Our Obesity Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent care for:
- ✓ Severe breathlessness or chest pain at rest
- ✓ Blackouts, extreme fatigue, or suspected sleep apnea with morning headaches
- ✓ Rapid swelling of legs or sudden weakness
Book a routine visit for gradual weight gain, snoring, tiredness, irregular periods/PCOS, or weight regain after past diets.
