Hot flashes, fatigue 4 months after radiation and Orgovyx

I have been on Orgovyx for 19 months, and have not experienced any hot flashes. My biggest problem is weight gain, and gyenecomastia which has been increasing over the past few months. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is dealing with these two issues.
Thank you,

I’ve been on ORGOVYX for about 3 years now and have similar problems. Gained about 30lbs. Experiencing major fatigue issues but have discovered weight lifting and cardio alternate days makes a huge difference in dealing with the fatigue. Losing weight however extremely difficult. I work out about 5 days a week. Diet does seem to help but very slow weight loss about a pound a week with 1200 calories a day diet. Good luck and Keep fighting.

My biggest problem too is also weight gain and gynecomastia, with fatigue. But 4 months ago I could walk 5 km in 50 minutes (I am 73 1/2 yrs old). I suffered an ankle fracture and for three months I couldn't walk. In these three months I gained 5 kg. I've just started walking again last 12 days and now am at 2 km in 25 minutes. I feel the only way we can fight our fatigue and weight gain is by walking and cutting down on carbs and sugars (which I have also done). In fact, my tummy got so bloated, I went and got a whole abdomen USG done, which returned normal 😄 .
