Surgery for metabolic syndrome in Mexicali - Bariatric surgeon

Metabolic syndrome is a set of disorders that, when combined, increase the risk of developing heart disease, cerebrovascular issues, diabetes, cancer, and other serious conditions.

Common causes

Excess weight is one of the most common causes of these conditions, making the body more susceptible to metabolic syndrome. This excess weight can be caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, genetic, environmental, hormonal, or psychological factors. To treat metabolic syndrome, it is important to address these causes in a comprehensive manner.

Sleep apnea

This sleep disorder causes moments of low oxygenation, worsening metabolism and aggravating pre-existing conditions.

Hypertension

High blood pressure puts the cardiovascular system at risk, increasing the likelihood of severe heart events.

Hyperlipidemia - dyslipidemia

This is characterized by imbalances in cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, negatively affecting heart health.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

This condition is linked to obesity and high triglyceride levels, causing fat accumulation in the liver.

Overweight and obesity

Excess weight increases the likelihood of developing conditions associated with metabolic syndrome.

Insulin resistance

Cell insensitivity to insulin results in high blood sugar levels, promoting the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Treatments and procedures

Bariatric treatments can help effectively reduce weight, whether through pharmacological therapies, surgery, or non-invasive methods. By reducing weight, many of these conditions improve, decreasing health risks.
