After effects of hormone therapy
I realize that some of my after effects of the hormone therapy are permanent. My question is the excessive weight gain in my belly were I've never had a gut before. I wish that the medical castration part was reversible, but that's grasping at straws. Fatigue, low metabolism and others are on my list also.
Hi
. You are not alone with unexpected weight gain. Jim wrote about his experience here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/weight-gain-side-effect and Duane here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/fluctuating-weight. Mind if I ask if you are still on hormones or how long it has been since your last shot? Some men here have mentioned the six month shot lasting much longer (for instance Dennis here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/intimacy-treatment-impacts). Has your doctor had any thoughts?
