estrogen gain weight

so can anybody tell me if it is common to gain weight after hysterectomy or is that just depending on the medicine you're given for hormones

Higher doses of estrogen in birth control pills is known to cause weight gain in women due to fluid retention. Get your estrogen levels checked. For weight loss, apart from diet control, indulge in physical exercise daily for which you can even join a gym. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.

I say this because it typically is the Lack of Estrogen that will cause weight gain and not the abundance. On the other hand, since you are also taking progesterone, you may have been out of balance between the two hormones. My other thought is that you may be the type of person who does really well on progesterone without added Estrogen, although the more I research recent studies on this, those people are few and far between.

High levels of estrogen cause unexplained weight gain and feeling fatigued or lethargic. Low thyroid hormone is a consideration since there is family history of thyroid disease but high estrogen is a more likely cause in my opinion. A good article on high estrogen is "High Estrogen Overload Symptoms. Dangers Every Woman Should Be Aware Of" from the Healthy You Naturally website. An excerpt....

A lot of weight?

d suggest that if your weight is lower than healthy then weight gain might stable out your emotions. However, I understand if this is not possible as weight gain can be hard for metabolic reasons etc. Again, I think seeing a doctor would be the best opinion, emotions can change for a whole host of reasons they're not always hormone related so it's best to be sure before making any changes. Hope you feel better soon!

Does everyone gain weight with Hashimotos and hypothyroid. It is so depressing. I am thinking on going on WW or Nutrisystem, but will I lose weight if my thyroid is still screwed up? I have low motility too when it comes to digestion too. Took the sitz test and an average person can poop out the beads in 2 days and it took 7 for me. What have other done? I am frustrated!

I think that most of us will say that the hot flushes and the weight gain are pretty annoying to say the least. Estrogen can cause weight gain but, can help with the hot flushes some. Natural sources of Estrogen (like soy) are less potent but, don't necessarily cause the weight gain. So, perhaps, you may want to try to seek out some help from the healthfood store where they often have some great advice and preparations/supplements that can help with the hot flushes?

Your labs are hyper, but many of us who are hyper gain weight. Thryoid diseases affect our metabolism, which can be a cause of a lot of weight issues, higher and lower. This is not that unusual at all. Can you confirm a sonogram/ultrasound diagnosis?

I have a ton of info on the bioidentical hormones (I just did a check on Enjuvia and from what I can tell, it is a conjugated synthetic estrogen in a pill form). I also have some more recent posts on the weight gain issue, which I have done a ton of research on myself. I am not almost 9 years post surgical menopause (ovaries removed along with everything else).

Ovary removal slows your metabolism so it's common to gain weight. Also, the ovaries produce hormones besides estrogen such as various androgens especially testosterone which is important for maintaining muscle mass as well as metabolism. Unfortunately, gynecologists rarely tell women about the importance of the lifelong production of hormones from our ovaries. My organs were needlessly removed when I was 49 and the symptoms were severe to the point I could barely function.

I got the IUD 8 months ago and YES it can make you gain weight if it is the Merina one. It is the estrogen in it that makes you gain weight. I gained 25 lbs after I got and I work out 5 times a week, so I know it's not lack of exercise. I just recently got it taken out and I have already dropped 5lbs. I had another friend that had it for 2 years and she gained weight on it as well. She got hers taken out 2 months ago and has dropped 15lbs.

Since that time, I have taken many different kinds of OTC herbal remedies to stop the hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, headaches and especially the weight gain. Nothing seems to help. I have gained 40 lbs since 2001 and I honestly can say I do not eat more than I did then, nor am I a junk food addict. I am cautious of what I eat...but nothing helps my problem. I am 48 years old so I was 40 when I had my hysterectomy....too young to be suffering from these horrible conditions.

Can a normal sized cyst on one overy cause a distended stomach and weight gain?

Some people do gain weight, while others do not. If you find yourself gaining weight, bring it to the doctors attention as there are a variety of pills to choose from. But not taking it, will cause a big weight gain and a permanent change in your future plans.

10. Doctor decided to run Estradiol level and thyroid tests to see if that was causing weight gain. Was wondering what you thought of these results Estradiol on day 3 of cycle 23 T4 total 5.5 ref 6.1-12.2 T3 total0.8 ref 0.9-1.8 TSH 1.56 ref 0.34 5.60 Do you think thyroid or estrogen replacement is necessary? Thanks for the help hate running all these miles and not seeing a difference.

I went off Yaz and started to notice weight gain after a few months, in about 2 years I gained a little over 40 lbs. I am absolutely miserable. I've tried dieting, exercising, and nothing has happened. I don't fit into any clothes, I hate my body and I have no idea what else to do. I had my hormone levels tested and my testosterone is a little high (45pg/ml).

The few common side effects of birth control pills are changes in appetite or weight gain, nausea, sore breasts, headaches, menstrual irregularities, mood changes etc since they contain estrogen and progesterone. There are many new pills available in the market with lesser side effects of weight gain, mood changes etc.Birth control pill containing Drospirenone and ethinylestradiol may be helpful since they have lesser side effects.

I have had a full hysterctomy in February. I am experiencing mood swings and weight gain and raised temperature. Is there a way to control these symptoms?

Also to mention that a weight gain of so much weight also can be a cause of a heightening of the hot flushes. Fat stores estrogen and it's believed that estrogen is partially to blame for the hot flushes. There often isn't enough progesterone in the body to offset the extra estrogen and very often, doctors will make the mistake of giving estrogen when the real problem is a lack of progestrone.

Yes. It does an can make you gain weight. It all depends on your own body I'm on this and it didn't make me gain weight I am gaining now because I take depakote.

Weight gain (specifically at the hips and thighs) Sweet cravings Reduced libido Increased PMS symptoms Water retention Irregular menstrual cycles Hot flashes Migraines Cervical cramping Chronic fatigue Allergies Sinus infections Irregular moods, mood swings, bouts of depression Anxiety Resistant weight loss (aka “stubborn fat”) Cold hands and feet Premature commencement of menstruation Loss of hair Insomnia Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Infertility Osteoporosis Enlarged breasts in men Broken cap

I feel full and I hurt all the time now in my lower back. My family doctor just checked me yesterday for T3, T4, TSH and estrogen levels to see if the weight gain is related to my thyroid underactive or hormones/estrogen levels. I have not received the results yet. I still have my ovaries and I have been reading about ovarian cysts and cancer and I am very scared right now.
