Sara: Hi, i am sara Montoya and my parterns are maría paula rojas and Gabriela González and
today we are going to present to you what is manorexia. We would like to introduce you a little to
this unknown topic: Anorexia not only affects women, it also affects men but they are forced to
show with their "masculinity" that it does not affect them. Perfect hair, height, figure and skin, and
even voice are "marketing" points that can make you focus too much on appearance. Anorexia is a
serious condition that can cause health problems and become life-threatening and anyone can
develop an eating disorder, regardless of age or gender.

Mapiz: Often, having manorexia or anorexia is related to being part of the LGBTQIA+ community,
but is this real? The answer is yes, but according to research has found that 10% to 42% of men
with eating disorders identify as gay or homosexual. However, gay men may also be more likely to
seek treatment than straight men. Homosexual masculine aesthetics, and extreme thinness was
associated with being sick or not feeling well. The ideal gay male body can be expected to be more
muscular and lean. This can encourage disordered eating habits as men struggle to feel attractive
to potential mates. Specific disordered eating habits, such as binge eating and purging, may be
more prevalent among gay men. Gay and bisexual men are more likely to try to control their
weight by: fasting, vomiting, using laxatives and diet pills Despite these links between male
anorexia and the gay community, the majority of men living with an eating disorder are usually
quite straight.

Gaby: Anorexia tends to manifest in early adulthood and adolescents. People of all genders seem
to be driven by the same motive to conform to their perception of being thin. For girls living with
anorexia, "thin" often means exceptionally thin, a low body weight. Male anorexia can often be
due to being thin, although not all men living with anorexia care about the appearance of muscle
mass. In men and boys, this eating disorder often means being thin and appearing strong at the
same time. Unlike some women who are obsessed with losing weight, many men living with
anorexia may not only restrict their diet, but may also: exercise excessively, take a lot of
supplements, use steroids, try fad diets designed to improve muscle and reduce fat.

Sara: Many people think low body weight is the most obvious warning sign of anorexia. But the
shape of the male body may hide excessive weight loss more easily than a woman’s body. This
may mean that “looking thin” is one of the last warning signs of male anorexia to be noticed.
Warning signs of male anorexia can include:

Gaby: frequent bathroom visits after or during a meal, hyper-focus on working out, even when
injured or during bad weather, binge eating , dressing in layers, denying being hungry, food
avoidance, strict dietary rules or habits, fixating on nutritional information or calorie count,
constant weighing, avoiding social gatherings where food is served, stress or anxiety when a
workout gets missed, excessive preoccupation with bodybuilding or physique development,
statements about being unhappy with weight or body image and the appearance of food rituals,
such as arranging food in a certain way.
Sara: Signs of male anorexia may include:

Mapiz: decreased sex drive, feeling weak or lethargic, cold intolerance, digestive issues, abnormal
laboratory levels, such as anemia or low hormone levels, dizziness or fainting, sleep disturbance,
slow or poor wound healing, impaired immunity, yellow skin, dental changes, thinning or loss of
hair, hand and finger cuts or swelling and difficulty concentrating.

Sara: Many factors may increase your chances of experiencing anorexia or disordered eating, such
as: living through a traumatic experience, limited social networks and isolation, loneliness,
Acculturation, perfectionism, low body image satisfaction, history of an anxiety disorder, cultural
weight stigma, experiencing bullying, history of dieting, regular energy deficits from illness,
athletics, or dieting, having a close relative living with an eating disorder or mental health
condition, a natural inclination toward inflexible thinking or behaviors and intergenerational
trauma.

Gaby: If you or a loved one is living with anorexia, seeing a doctor is essential. Your healthcare
team may recommend supervised recovery in a care facility, depending on the severity of: weight
loss, malnourishment status and any physical challenges you may be noticing. A treatment
facility’s doctors can help stabilize your hydration, nutrition and physiological function.

Mapiz: Seeing a therapist can also be helpful. Anorexia can cause many physical effects, but
understanding what drives your behaviors can make a major difference in your recovery outcome.
Some common types of therapy used for anorexia and eating disorders include: cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), family-based therapy,
dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), Maudsley Approach for
children and adolescents, cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Sara: Though not usually a first-line treatment for eating disorders like anorexia, medication may
also be a part of your recovery process. Medication can help alleviate symptoms related
to depression or anxiety, which may co-occur with anorexia. Some medications can also help
counteract any physical changes you may have experienced, such as digestive issues or hormone
imbalances. Medications can be prescribed only by a doctor. Following guidelines on taking
medications as prescribed is vital if they are a part of your anorexia treatment plan.
