Brief Answer:
Weight changes are a minor side effect.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Estrogen supplementation can cause weight changes as a minor side effect. This need not happens with everyone.

Due to shift in the hormone balance after menopause, fat deposition occurs, especially around the waist. This can be controlled through exercise and diet.

To control hot flushes, you have to avoid hot and spicy food, use loose-fitting cotton garments, see that you stay in a comfortable atmosphere and take isoflavins which are available in soya products. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables which keep your weight in check. Do regular exercise and include breathing exercises and medication.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
