1000+ verified doctorsCan Ayurveda help with familiar partial lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome after many years of treatment? - #54009
I’ve been recently diagnosed with familiar partial lipodistrophy (Köbberling type) after many years trying to find out what had happened to my body since I delivered my baby 17 years ago. I was 28 years old and couldn’t lose any wheight, started to visit doctors until they found out I had metabolic syndrome. Nobody ever said I had this genetic condition until now. So, I’ve been handling with this syndrome since many years, whithout khowing that. Taking many medicines to treat the consequences it brought to my life for so much time. I ask you, please, if there is any way ayurveda could help me or if it’s already too late. Sorry for any mistakes, I’m not an English native speaker. Thank you very much!
