Temporary weight changes due to fluid retention or bloating are possible side effects of HRT. It is important to remember that individual responses to HRT may vary.

HRT should not be relied upon as the sole method for weight loss. To achieve long-term weight control, HRT should be complemented by a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
