Surgery for metabolic syndrome in Cancún - Bariatric surgeon

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of different conditions that, when two or more occur together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, diabetic, cancerous, and other conditions.

Common causes

A common cause of these conditions is excess weight, which can make the body more prone to developing these conditions, and therefore metabolic syndrome.

Sleep apnea

A disorder that causes periods of hypoxia or low oxygenation during sleep. This condition can worsen metabolic syndrome.

Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which the load on the heart and arteries increases.

Hyperlipidemia - dyslipidemia

A disorder that causes abnormal levels of lipids and triglycerides in the blood, which can lead to cardiovascular complications.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

This condition is common in people with metabolic syndrome, is related to elevated triglycerides and obesity, and causes fat accumulation in the liver.

Overweight and obesity

Overweight and obesity are characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body, which increases the risk of causing and complicating various diseases.

Insulin resistance

This occurs when the body does not respond to insulin, so it has to increase insulin production. This leads to high blood sugar levels and can eventually develop into type 2 diabetes.
