Can endometrial polyps cause weight gain?

I was diagnosed with endometrial polyps a few months back. Since then, I feel like I've put on a little bit of weight around my stomach, and it's not going away. Is it possible that endometrial polyps can cause weight gain?

Haan na, because of the hormonal imbalance like estrogen dominance, weight change feels very common. It's best to discuss this with your gynecologist.

Haan, endometrial polyps aur hormonal issues aamtaur par saath chalte hain na, toh uski wajah se thoda bloating aur weight gain lag sakta hai.

I had a polyp removed last year. The polyp itself doesn't cause weight gain directly, but the underlying hormonal issues that create polyps definitely cause bloating and weight changes.

Actually, my doctor explained that polyps are often a result of high estrogen levels. It is this hormonal imbalance, not the polyp itself, that leads to water retention and weight gain.

Haar-jeet toh chalti rehti hai, lekin sharir ka dhyan pehle rakhna chahiye. Hormones upar neeche hone se vajan badh jata hai, doctor se jaroor salah lijiye.
