Is it true that Menopausal hormone therapy causes weight gain?
No. Peer-reviewed reviews and a clinical article state that the common belief that hormone replacement therapy causes weight gain is not supported by available evidence, with some regimens possibly attenuating fat accumulation; weight gain around menopause is attributed to the menopausal transition itself rather than to the therapy.
