A member asked:

Does estratest (esterified estrogens and methylestosterone) cause weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormone replacement: Weight gain at menopause is more likely related to lifestyle factors as well as changes in metabolism. One of the side effects of hormone replacement can be weight gain, but weight loss is just as likely.
