Weigth issue

2017-10-11 00:28:17
I am 38 and weight 97 pounds. The most I ever weighed was 110 and I was 103 for the longest and recently gradually dropped to 97 because of my busy schedule. I told the doctor I wanted to gain wrigth and she prescribed me megestrol. I am nervous to take it because I was reading it changes your hormones around and my acne just calmed down and I just stopped bleeding in between cycles. I had a polpy that I had to get removed so I am wondering will it be okay to take the medicine?
