Undiagnosed Pelvic, Urethral, and Vaginal Pain / Itch / Bloating
I'm desperate for any help / guidance. I went off of the birth control pill back in September 2018. Since then, I've had a slight vaginal itch, but it seemed to go away when I'd get my next period. I got my period every 55 days off of the pill, until February 3, 2019. That was the date of my last period

Has anyone had Ascites disappear, but then return?
Hi all, New to the forum. Ascites was what brought me to the doctor in the first place in April. I had already been diagnosed with fatty liver two years prior. I was told to loose weight. I did. 30 pounds. Sadly I never had any follow up. My doc did lab work, and imaging. For sure liver was not

Spironolactone - Sore Nipples
About 5 weeks ago I was prescribed Spironolactone to help with my Edema, it worked very well but I now have extremely tender nipples that seem to have a solid mass behind them. Has anyone else had this reaction? Did stopping the Spironolactone solve it?

Spironolactone withdrawal?
Hi all, I was stage 4 cirrhosis with ascites, and took the diuretic spiro for over 12 months, which (along with alcohol abstinence) got me to re-compensated stage 2 with no ascites. Since then I have tapered the spiro, and 2 weeks ago quit completely. So far, thankfully I have not had any rebound gaining

Water Retention
Hello Everyone. Am on Furosemide 40mg, but for the last week I have been getting swollen, painful ankles quite badly. I've had this before but not as bad as this. Feeling concerned at the moment. I would really appreciate any thoughts etc. Many thanks.

Dermatologist who will prescribe spironolactone (London)
Hi everyone - I’m getting really fed up/down about my thinning hair, hair on face etc. I’m on the pill but not making any difference. I’ve read a lot about spironolactone being an option, but I’m not sure how to go about getting it prescribed. Do any GPs or should I go straight to a dermatologist, and

Medication confusion!
Okay, I am easily confused. Was prescribed Spironolactone in hospital and was already on vitamin B and Thiamine. No side effects apart from excessive weeing which is obviously the whole point. I was prescribed Omaprazole on discharge from hospital plus antibiotics- 4 via drip in hospital, one before

Itching side effect to heart meds?
Good morning all, I take Apixaban, Atorvastatin, Bisoprol, Ramipril and Spironolactone. The itching on my back is driving me mad, I've put up with it for a while but it's got worse recently. I didn't get this until i'd been taking the meds for some time but assume it must be a side effect of one or more

Water retention, where does it come from?
And how does furosemide work? I am actually asking for the cat. We knew something was badly wrong, her abdomen was so swollen, but we didn't want to know what it was. By the time we took her to the vet she weighed 3.8kg, should be 3. She had blood tests, fine, ultrasound, okish but they shaved half her
