A member asked:
Do hormones prescribed for menopause symptoms cause weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They shouldn't: Hormones, in general, are weight neutral. If you notice increased appetite on hormones, this may lead to weight gain, as you would be more likely to feed your appetite. Also, sometimes people have water weight gain on hormones, but this is not the norm.
