Good evening lovely ladies!

Does anyone know whether hormonal imbalance causes weight gain or not? Or Whether it is related to weight loss in any way or not?

Thanks!

Usually more weight gain ie during menopause one gains due to hormonal changes.

Are these hormonal changes permanent or temporary? Actually i am overweight and want to reduce at least 10-12 kgs. I went at this clinic, they did some tests, and told me that the main reason behind my weight gain is hormonal imbalance. But i am not satisfied with their reasoning, so, should I continue with their treatment or find some other doctor or clinic.

hormonal imbalance and weight gain can happen any time. not only at menopause.
the imbalance can cause weight loss and weight gain.
that said it is cyclic. if you lose weight, your hormones may balance. but again there are tests that are conducted to find out what imbalance is there.

and there is no short cut to weight loss irrespective of the reason. phsyical activity, healthy diets, stress free lifestyle can help lose weight slow but steady.
