Read More »Overview Unintentional weight gain occurs when you put on weight without increasing your consumption of food or liquid and without decreasing your activity. This occurs when you’re not trying to gain weight. It’s often due to fluid retention, abnormal growths, constipation, or pregnancy. Unintentional weight gain can be periodic, continuous, or rapid. Periodic unintentional weight gain includes regular fluctuations in weight. One example of unintentional weight gain is experienced during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Periodic, but longer-term unintentional weight gain is often the result of pregnancy, which lasts nine months. Rapid unintentional weight gain may be due to medication side effects. Many cases of unintentional weight gain are harmless. But some symptoms experienced along with rapid weight gain may signal a medical emergency. What causes unintentional weight gain? Pregnancy One of the most common causes of unintentional weight gain is pregnancy. But many women do intentionally eat more to support the growth of the baby. During pregnancy, most women put on weight as the baby grows. This extra weight consists of the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, increased blood supply, and an enlarging uterus. Hormonal changes Typically between the ages of 45 and 55, women enter a stage called menopause. During a woman’s reproductive years, estrogen — one of the hormones responsible for regulating menstruation and ovulation — begins to decline. Once menopause occurs, estrogen is too low to induce menstruation. A decrease in estrogen can cause women in menopause to experience weight gain around the abdominal region and the hips. Aside from the hormonal changes of menopause, women diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) may also experience weight gain. Hormonal changes in your middle years can also cause your metabolism to slow down, leading to weight gain. Other medical conditions affecting hormone levels can cause weight gain in both sexes. These include: hypothyroidism
