Medical Weight Loss
Weight loss is an issue for many women. Whether they’re having problems losing weight, or they need advice on how to lose the last couple of pounds in a healthy way, there may be a solution. You may not realize that your gynecologist would be able to help you with weight loss, but your gynecologist is very uniquely familiar with your body and may be able to help you understand it better. When you’re at a standstill and just aren’t sure how you can lose the weight you want, it may be time to speak to your gynecologist and find out what they can do for you.
How Your Gynecologist Can Help with Weight Loss
There are so many factors that can contribute to weight gain or prevent weight loss in your body that your gynecologist may be able to help you identify. If you’re going through menopause, your hormones may be out of balance and hormone therapy might give you the boost that you need. Even if you aren’t going through menopause, hormones could be a big factor in why you haven’t been able to lose the weight you wanted.
There are certain medications that you may be on that can cause weight gain and hinder your ability to lose weight. Birth control pills are well known for causing many side effects, one being weight gain. Your gynecologist can definitely talk you through this and can help you find a birth control pill that may not add to your weight gain or may prescribe something to help with water retention.
Weight gain can also hinder things in your body like causing a drop in your sex drive. Your gynecologist can absolutely talk you through any issues you may be experiencing and you should be able to feel comfortable asking any questions that you may have.
