What Causes Recurring Penis Pain, Increased Weight And Enlarged Waist?
About two (2) years ago, following a three month period during which I experienced recurring pain in my penis, I experienced a massive, sudden weight increase [70 lbs in approx. 9 months] and an expansion of my waist from 34 to 50 and enlargement of my right leg below the knee and my right foot. I did not change my diet or exercise level and yet this weight just came on like gangbusters and nothing I do has any effect. No one has been able to diagnose the cause. Do you have any idea what my problem is

Hello,
Sudden weight gain may be due to hypothyroidism or heart failure or anemia or acromegaly or pituitary tumors or Cushing's syndrome etc. Get it done ultrasound abdomen, blood sugar levels, serum TSH, testosterone levels etc. Please consult with your endocrinologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
