Overweight sits within the weight management area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually — not through an algorithm — and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.

How is Overweight evaluated in an online consultation?

You fill in a weight management-oriented medical questionnaire (~5 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in less than 2 hours on average. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.

How long until you see results?

It depends on the case. For weight management, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.

Can I consult for Overweight from Burgas?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Burgas you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

Who is a candidate for a medical weight-management programme?

Adults with BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with comorbidities (hypertension, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia). The doctor reviews your history, current medication and goals before proposing any treatment. It is not a cosmetic programme.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

WEIGHT LOSS

Overweight

Not every case of overweight needs treatment. A doctor reviews your history to decide whether medical weight management is appropriate.

WHAT IT IS

Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25. This condition reflects excess body weight that can have multiple causes, including genetic, metabolic, environmental and lifestyle factors.

While many people associate overweight solely with diet, current science recognises it as a multifactorial condition. The doctor considers all these factors when evaluating each case.

Not everyone with overweight needs medical treatment, but a professional evaluation helps identify when excess weight may affect long-term health.

HOW COMMON IT IS

Almost 60 % of adults in the WHO European Region live with overweight or obesity.

CAUSES

Genetic factors influencing metabolism and appetite
