Patient's question:
Hello, due to irregular menstruation (delayed for nearly 3 months), the doctor prescribed Premarin (estrogen tablets). Previously, they had asked me to take Premarin, but I stopped taking it because I noticed some signs of weight gain after using it and was afraid to continue. Could you please tell me if Premarin causes weight gain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, estrogen can cause fat to be distributed according to a woman's characteristics, but it is not the main reason for weight gain. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a gynecological examination, identify the cause after diagnosis, and treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, eat light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
