Approved answer
Weight Gain and Hormonal IUDs
Research indicates that individuals using hormonal IUDs may experience an average weight increase of approximately 0.72 kg (around 1.59 lbs) within a year. This points to the potential for hormonal IUDs to have a minor effect on weight gain. However, it's important to recognize that weight gain can result from various factors, and further studies are needed to understand the relationship better.
