What are the signs of anorexia that a doctor would notice in an examination?Please list at least five signs in complete sentences.

Anorexia Nervosa is the medical term for a condition in
which the patient has an excessive and abnormal concern about body weight.  The patient
refuses to eat sufficient food to maintain a healthy weight or provide adequate
nutrition.  She may engage in bulimia, the practice of self-induced vomiting after
meals.

Anorexia usually begins in the late teen years and
is more common in females.  Females with anorexia nervosa will stop
menstruating.

Signs of anorexia detectable by the physician
are as follows:

1.  The patient’s weight is significantly
below that which is considered normal for her height.  Her muscle mass is clearly
reduced, and the patient is weak.

2.  The patient does not
menstruate normally, either sparsely and sporadically, or not at
all.

3.  She may have poor dental health if she suffers
from bulimia.  This is due to the adverse effect on protective tooth enamel of gastric
acid to which the teeth are exposed during vomiting.

4. 
The patient exhibits an abnormal psychological profile.  She may be depressed, and has a
distorted body image.  She is perfectionistic and overly concerned about weight
gain.

5.  The patient exhibits abnormal behavior such as
refusing to eat in front of others, or going to the bathroom after
eating.

6.  The patient has a dry mouth and is overly
sensitive to cold environments.

Anorexia nervosa is a
severe eating disorder with underlying mental disturbance.  If untreated, anorexia
nervosa can be fatal.
