Hello doctor, i have been taking duphaston since january for irregular menses. I take it on day 16 to day 26.then after 2 days i get my menses.again i do it the nxt cycle. It has been 10months now. I cant prevent myslf from noticing that i gained weight since january. If i stop taking duphaston will the water retention be gone?or should i do exercise?will i return back to normal size as i used to be?
Hello, It is true that hormone usage can lead to weight gain since this also causes water retention in the body. If you need to use the hormone supplement for a prolonged period, it is advisable to manage your diet and exercise so that there is no net weight gain. This also helps to maintain the bodily requirement of the hormone as excess weight makes the hormone less effective as the need for a dose increase occurs. You can, with this management plan, get back to your original size. Hope this helps.
