About Diana Archer

I love questions on condoms, the pill, what to do if contraception fails, if you could be pregnant, obtaining contraception (Even without parental permission). I have a lot of experience with teenagers. One thing I don't know too much about is the IUD, but I'm working on it. I really do care about the people that ask me questions! I don't mind lots of follow up, and I like to know if things turned out okay. I'll be with you every step of the way!

Birth Control - weight gain after stelilization


Expert: Diana Archer - 7/1/2009

Question
i had tubes clamp sterilization on the 3rd November 2008. its now 8 months. I gained 10kg to be exact. i do not eet a lot and gets minimal sugars in. I cannot find anything that i am doing that could cause this.  please please help me.


Answer
Hey emma,

I did some research, and it seems that sterilization  does not cause weight gain. Have you looked into some other things that could have caused it?
Maybe you aren't eating enough. If the body thinks it is starving, it puts any food eaten straight into fat, causing weight gain.

I think you should go back to your doctor, and check there is nothing wrong, such as an infection after your surgery.

Diana
