Do uterine polyps cause weight gain?

Question

I was diagnosed with uterine polyps a few months ago, and since then, I feel like I've gained some weight, especially around my abdomen. Could uterine polyps actually be causing this weight gain?

My wife had polyps and she didn't gain weight because of them, though my own waistline seems to grow just by looking at samosas! Usually, polyps themselves don't cause weight gain, but hormonal imbalances might.

There is absolutely no medical link between polyps and weight gain. Don't trust online forums telling you to drink special potions to lose polyp weight; just visit a proper doctor to discuss your symptoms.

Physiologically, uterine polyps don't cause weight gain. If you are feeling heavy or bloated, try to go for light 30-minute walks daily if your doctor says it is safe for you, as it helps with overall circulation and mood.

I totally get it, when you suddenly see the scale going up along with other symptoms, it's so frustrating. However, polyps themselves don't directly cause weight gain, though the stress and hormone issues behind them might make you feel bloated.

Weight gain is usually related to lifestyle, thyroid, or metabolic changes, not uterine polyps. Like I monitor my BP and weight closely, you should get a full health checkup to find the real cause of the weight changes.

I just got my polyps removed two months back. I actually felt bloated and heavy before the surgery, which I mistook for weight gain, but my weight didn't change. It was mostly water retention and period troubles.

Beta, polyps do not cause weight gain. For the bloating and discomfort, you can drink warm ajwain water, but make sure to consult your doctor for proper treatment of the polyps.
