Introduction
Bulimia is an eating disorder that is characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by attempts to purge the food from the body through vomiting or other means. People with bulimia often have a distorted body image and are preoccupied with weight and food.
Bulimia can have a number of negative effects on the body, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and gastrointestinal problems. One of the more noticeable effects of bulimia is swelling in the face, especially around the jawline and cheeks.
There are a few different ways to reduce or eliminate facial swelling caused by bulimia. First, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water. It is also helpful to eat small, frequent meals rather than large ones, and to avoid foods that are high in salt or fat. Gentle face massage can also help to reduce swelling. Finally, there are some topical treatments that can be applied to the face to help reduce swelling.
What is bulimia?
Bulimia nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is an eating disorder that can damage your health and even lead to death. People with bulimia nervosa consume large amounts of food and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way. Purging may be done by self-induced vomiting or by misusing laxatives, diuretics, or enemas. Some people with bulimia also use fasting or excessive exercise to purge calories.
What causes bulimia?
There is no single cause of bulimia. Instead, it is thought to be the result of a combination of social, psychological, and biological factors.
Social factors. People who are exposed to images of thin people in the media may be more likely to develop bulimia. This is especially true if they feel that their own bodies do not measure up to these unrealistic standards. In addition, people who are teased or ridiculed about their weight may also be more likely to develop bulimia.
Psychological factors. People with bulimia may have low self-esteem and feel that they are not good enough or are not meeting others’ expectations. They may also have a fear of becoming fat, even though they may already be at a healthy weight or even underweight. People with bulimia may turn to bingeing and purging as a way to cope with stressful situations or negative emotions such as sadness, anxiety, or anger.
Biological factors. People with certain genetic conditions may be more likely to develop bulimia. For example, people with a family history of eating disorders or mental illness may be at increased risk. In addition, people with certain medical conditions (such as diabetes) that require them to closely monitor their diet may also be more likely to develop bulimia.
What are the symptoms of bulimia?
Bulimia nervosa, usually called bulimia, is a type of eating disorder. People with bulimia eat large amounts of food in a short period of time (bingeing) and then try to prevent weight gain by purging. Purging may be done in several ways, such as: vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics (water pills), fasting, or exercising excessively.
How is bulimia diagnosed?
Bulimia nervosa is diagnosed when a person meets certain criteria laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
To be diagnosed with bulimia, a person must:
-Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following:
-Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances
-A sense of being out of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating)
-Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviors in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other medications; fasting; or excessive exercise.
-The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least once a week for 3 months.
-Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.
-The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa.
How is bulimia treated?
There are a variety of treatments available for bulimia, and the best course of action will depend on the individual’s needs. In some cases, counseling and therapy may be all that is necessary to help someone recover from bulimia. For others, medication may be needed to help with associated mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety.
Some people may also require hospitalization, particularly if they are at risk for serious health complications from bulimia. This can help ensure that they receive the care and treatment they need to recover.
If you or someone you know is struggling with bulimia, there are many resources available to help. You can start by talking to your doctor or another mental health professional. There are also many support groups and hotlines that can offer assistance and advice on how to get help.
Prevention
There is no single cause of bulimia, but there are many factors that can contribute to its development. Some of these include:
- having a parent or close relative with an eating disorder
- dieting or being on a restrictive diet
- having a history of yo-yo dieting
- having low self-esteem or negative body image
- being perfectionistic or having high standards for oneself
- being a perfectionistic or high-achieving student
- participating in activities that place a high value on appearance, such as modeling or acting
- being teased or criticized for one’s weight or appearance
- experiencing trauma or abuse
Conclusion
If you are struggling with bulimia, know that you are not alone. There is help available, and you can get better. Recovery is possible, and you can create a life worth living.
