Yes, some doctors prescribe low-dose birth control pills during perimenopause to stabilize fluctuating hormones, which can help manage sudden weight gain and hot flashes. However, they are not weight-loss pills, so you still have to manage your daily diet and lifestyle.

I have heard from family members that stabilizing hormones helps a lot with perimenopause symptoms. Please consult your doctor safely to see if this is the right option for you.

During perimenopause, our thyroid levels can also act up and contribute to weight gain. While birth control pills might help balance estrogen, I highly recommend getting a complete thyroid panel done as well. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are very important.
