How long does menopause weight gain last?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

I'm a bit worried about my wife's cervical length being 26mm at 12 weeks into her pregnancy. Could you tell me what it might be like around 16 weeks? If she's taking progesterone supplements like Susten 200, is there a chance the length could increase?

At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the cervical length is expected to be around 30-35mm. Taking progesterone supplement Susten 200 can help support the pregnancy and may potentially help in maintaining the cervical length. The usual dosage of Susten 200 for supporting pregnancy is 200mg to be taken vaginally once daily.

I'm a bit worried because my wife accidentally took Microdine vaginal tablets orally yesterday. Thankfully, she hasn't shown any negative symptoms so far, but I'm wondering if we should see a doctor. How serious could this be?

I'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?

Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.
