What Causes Weight Gain While On Estroven?
So I am a 56 year old woman that has gone through menopause without hormone therapy and am just taking a nature supplement estroven but over the past year I have experienced an increase in weight, increase sweating during the day and a little at night (which I had not experience during or immediately after menopause) and am seeing a larger than normal hair loss. What do these symptoms indicate and how should I proceed?

Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that you should get your hormonal levels checked once and then accordingly decide the dosage of estrogen and progesterone supplementation. You should check for thyroid levels too as hyperthyroidism causes similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
