Hi,

I have been taking HRT for 4/5 years the last year was a patch which made me eat constantly (sugary and fatty food). I now might have gall stones, scan this week.

I have read gallstones are related to HRT. Anyone else had this from taking HRT??

Thanks

I wonder what was in the patch to cause the body to crave sugars

Weight gain and over eating are listed in the side effects!

Regardless of the weight gain I have been reading that HRT can cause gall stones and wondered how true it is or if anyone has any experience of this.

Thanks

I got gallstones for the first time ever, during chemotherapy. As this also sent me into an immediate menopause I'm wondering if there's a connection  between menopause itself and gallstones, not HRT?
