Does sperm cause weight gain in females?

My friends were joking about some silly rumors, and one of them said that sperm causes weight gain in females. I know it sounds absurd, but it made me wonder if there's any truth to it. Is this just a myth?

No, swallowing or contact with semen does not cause weight gain. Weight gain is purely a result of daily calorie intake being higher than what you burn. Focus on eating a balanced diet with lots of green veggies and staying active.

I used to worry about this so much and read tons of forums because I was gaining weight suddenly after marriage. But honestly, it has no calories or hormones that can cause weight gain. For me, it was just the late-night dinners after marriage that did it!

Haha, no way! If that was the case, dieting would be so much harder. Semen has virtually zero calories, so it won't affect your weight at all. Blame the cheese burst pizzas you eat together, not this!

This is a common misconception. Weight gain after marriage is usually due to changes in eating habits, cooking more rich food, or a more relaxed lifestyle. A simple solution is to walk 45 minutes daily and keep portion sizes in check.

If you are experiencing sudden, unexplained weight gain, don't ignore it or blame random things. I ignored my sudden weight gain for months before finding out I had severe thyroid issues. Please visit a doctor and get your blood tests done.
