Can uterus polyps cause weight gain?

I have been struggling with fertility issues and was diagnosed with uterine polyps. Alongside that, I've noticed an unexplained increase in my weight. Could uterine polyps be causing this weight gain, or is it likely unrelated to my condition?

I can only share what happened to me, but I didn't gain actual fat from polyps. However, the hormonal fluctuations and bloating made me feel much heavier. It's always best to discuss these changes with your gynecologist.

With PCOS, I know how easily hormones affect weight, but polyps themselves usually don't cause major weight gain unless there's an underlying hormonal imbalance. I'd suggest getting your thyroid and hormones checked by a doctor to be sure.

I track my partner's health trends on our smart devices and usually, polyps don't directly cause weight gain. However, she did experience severe water retention and bloating during her cycles. Consulting a doctor and tracking your daily symptoms on an app can help find patterns.

Look, polyps are just tiny growths, they don't have enough mass to make you gain weight. If your scale is going up, it is likely due to hormonal issues or stress. Stop worrying and go see a proper gynecologist instead of overthinking.

I dealt with uterine polyps and can tell you they don't cause weight gain directly. But the heavy periods can make you too tired to move, leading to some lifestyle-related weight changes. Focus on a balanced diet and get them treated soon.

Haan na, stomach bloated lagta hai toh lagta hai weight gain hua hai. Polyps directly weight badhate hain aisa toh nahi lagta, but bloating is very common. Doctor se ek baar clear kar lo na please.
