Do androgen blockers cause weight gain?

Well, they can make your body hold onto some extra cushion, yes! Just think of it as a temporary soft phase while your hormones settle down, but keep an eye on those late-night kitchen raids.

They do mess with your appetite and can give you intense cravings! I had to actively switch my high-calorie snacks to roasted makhana and fruits to keep my weight in check while on them.

I have been prescribed these blockers and I am so scared of gaining weight. Has anyone else experienced a sudden change in weight after starting them? Please share, I am very anxious.

If you are starting hormonal therapy, factor in the cost of regular thyroid and hormone level blood tests into your monthly budget. Practical planning for these tests helps you manage any metabolic changes early without high sudden costs.

My metabolism is already at a snail's pace, and these pills don't help! Yes, they can cause some weight gain because they alter your body composition, so we just have to work a bit harder on our walks.

Hey, don't stress too much about the weight scale right now. Your health comes first, and if your doctor prescribed them, take them; you can always lose any extra water weight later with a good routine.
