Does junel fe cause weight gain?

Question

I've been on Junel Fe for a few months now, and I feel like I've put on a few kgs. Is weight gain a common side effect for this specific birth control pill?

Pooja Patil · Accepted Answer

Haan na, weight gain concerns are always there with birth control. Some of my friends also felt a bit of bloating in the beginning with Junel Fe. But usually, it settled down after a few cycles, so don't worry too much.

Rakesh Joshi · Answer

Even if the pill causes some mild water retention, you can easily counter it. Keep your daily diet simple with dal, chawal, and green veggies, and avoid high-sodium processed snacks. A simple 30-minute walk every morning is enough to stay in shape.

Sarla Devi · Answer

I understand your worry, beta. When there is bloating due to hormonal medicines, drinking fennel seed (saunf) water in the morning helps a lot in digestion. But keep eating light home meals and don't stop the medicine without consulting your doctor.

Deepak Verma · Answer

It affects everyone differently, some gain a little while many don't see any change at all. Try to monitor your body for a month and stay positive.

Sandeep Nair · Answer

While mild weight fluctuations can happen, any sudden or significant weight gain should not be ignored. It is always safest to consult your gynecologist to check if this pill is the right fit for your hormonal profile.
