Weight Gain
Balanced hormones are essential in maintaining a healthy weight for women. When one or more hormones no longer fall within healthy levels, weight fluctuations are possible. When there isn't enough progesterone, unexplained or sudden weight gain is possible.
Other factors may cause weight gain. Lifestyle choices like not getting enough exercise, eating unhealthy foods or not drinking enough water can be to blame. Many conditions have the potential to cause unexplained weight gain.
