Does yasmin cause weight gain?

Hormonal pills can sometimes cause bloating and fluid retention, which feels like weight gain. I always suggest keeping a clean diet and drinking fennel water to reduce bloating, but if you feel sudden heavy swelling or severe headaches, consult your gynecologist immediately.

I was on Yasmin for six months for my acne. Honestly, I only gained about 1-2 kgs of water weight in the first month, but once my body adjusted, it went back to normal. Just watch your salt intake and you'll be fine.

I completely understand how stressful this is, because Yasmin made me feel very bloated and emotionally low for the first two months. It is incredibly frustrating when your body changes, but please be gentle with yourself; the initial water retention usually settles down.

People on the internet will tell you all sorts of horror stories about birth control and weight. Everyone's hormones react differently, so instead of reading random forums, go to a qualified gynecologist and get the right advice.
