Menopause

Body

The basic arithmetic of weight loss is familiar to almost everyone who has tried it: consume fewer calories than you expend, and body weight will decrease. This framework is not wrong. But it is incomplete in ways that explain why most self-directed dieting efforts produce results that are either modest or temporary, and why the experience of losing weight sustainably is so different from the calculations that make it look straightforward.

Many women ask, “Does IUD cause weight gain?” The honest answer is: an IUD usually does not directly cause major weight gain for most people. Some women may notice body changes after getting an IUD, especially with a hormonal IUD, but research does not clearly prove that IUDs cause significant weight gain on their own. ACOG notes that users of hormonal IUDs report weight gain at rates comparable to copper IUD users.

There is a particular kind of distress that many women with PMDD know intimately. For part of the month, they may feel steady, capable, loving and connected to themselves. Then, somewhere after ovulation, something changes. Their emotional world becomes sharper. The body feels heavier. The mind becomes more easily overwhelmed. A small relationship tension can feel enormous. A passing worry can become consuming. A woman may look at her life, her partner, her work or even herself through an entirely different emotional lens.
