Do estrogen blockers cause weight gain?

Adjusting your diet with healthy foods like fiber and green tea can help keep your weight in check while on these medicines. However, hormone levels are very sensitive. If you feel sudden fatigue or heavy weight changes, please consult your doctor immediately.

Do not go trying random diets or supplements you read about online to counter this. Hormone therapy is complex, and weight changes depend on your specific health profile. Speak directly to your oncologist or endocrinologist before making any changes.

I absolutely panicked when I saw the scale go up in the first two months of my treatment! But after talking to my doctor and giving my body some time to adjust, the weight stabilized. It is a very common reaction and it does settle down.

In our family, we believe that simple home-cooked food keeps the body balanced during any medical treatment. My sister was on these blockers and experienced mild weight gain, but her doctor adjusted her routine and she is doing fine now. Trust your specialist.

Weight gain can happen due to metabolic changes caused by these blockers. If you have a busy work life, focus on meal prepping and doing quick 20-minute home workouts. It is all about managing your lifestyle consistently alongside your prescription.
