Can dhea cause weight gain?

I totally get it, it is so incredibly frustrating to see the scale go up when you are trying to balance your health. Hormonal supplements can really play mind games with your body and metabolism. Just go easy on yourself and discuss this dose with your doctor.

Oh man, DHEA definitely increased my appetite! I started craving late-night rolls and sweets like crazy when I was on it. If you are not careful about those sudden hormone-induced cravings, the weight gain will definitely catch up with you!

Since I have high blood pressure, I always monitor any hormonal changes closely. DHEA can cause weight gain and even affect your blood pressure if not taken under strict supervision. Always get your hormone panels and BP checked regularly while on it.

Yes, hormone shifts from DHEA can cause some weight fluctuations. I tried drinking warm jeera water and green tea to manage the bloating, which helped a bit with the heaviness. But honestly, if the weight gain is too rapid, you must ask your doctor to adjust the dosage.

I have seen many ladies in our group complain about weight gain after starting DHEA for fertility or hormonal health. It is a very common side effect because it converts into estrogen or testosterone in the body. Don't worry, just keep your doctor informed about this change.
