Can HRT give you belly fat?
HRT does not cause weight gain. Side effects of HRT may feel like it but the reality is that bodies change in midlife. In fact, many women lose weight and feel considerably fitter on HRT. Dr Liz Andrew has worked as a GP for over 12 years and developed a passion for offering women menopause care.
Why is HRT making me gain weight?
There is a shift of fat storage from the hips and bottom (pear shape) to the waist (apple shape). Consequently, even slight weight gain can result in a change of dress size. The drop in oestrogen also modifies insulin resistance, making it easier to gain weight, as the body stores rather than burns calories.
What is the best HRT combination?
Continuous combined HRT is usually recommended for women who are postmenopausal. A woman is usually said to be postmenopausal if she has not had a period for 1 year. Continuous combined HRT involves taking oestrogen and progestogen every day without a break.

Conclusion
For those with an elevated risk of these conditions, or over the age of 50, forms of estrogen that are delivered through the skin, such as a patch, are generally the safest option.
