Understanding Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or misuse of laxatives. Without treatment, bulimia can lead to serious physical and emotional health complications. Recognizing the symptoms is essential for early intervention. Common indicators include:
Frequent Episodes of Binge Eating – Consuming large amounts of food in a short period while feeling out of control.
Purging Behaviors – Inducing vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, or using laxatives to prevent weight gain.
Distorted Body Image & Fear of Weight Gain – Persistent anxiety about body shape and weight.
Tooth Decay & Digestive Issues – Physical damage from repeated vomiting, including enamel erosion and acid reflux.
Swollen Face & Sore Throat – Inflammation due to frequent purging.
Fluctuations in Weight – Rapid or extreme weight changes over short periods.
