Changes in hormone levels during pubescence and menopause can affect body piece. Beginning from adolescence, estrogen causes muscle versus fat to be stored on the chest, thighs, and hips and butt.

In individuals utilizing progestin-only contraceptives, most examinations don't show an expansion in weight or muscle to fat ratio, yet some show a little increment. A few people will put on weight on contraception medication, and a few people might be more inclined to weight gain than others.

So why the hush around weight gain?

There are every day, week after week, month to month, and occasional examples to weight.
