Spiro side effects in women

[Guest guest]

Just a little breast tenderness! Oh and expect your cup size to go up a

letter or two or three and that you may bleed constantly rather than

just for a few days each month...... It's heavier bleeding than normal

as well.

Luckily that does abate once you come off the spiro - takes 3 - 6

months (well it did for me - 3 months I wasn't so sore and after 6

months cup size back to normal - for me the bleeding never returned to

normal - I've been told it is a legacy of the PA hormonal imbalance and

there is nothing that can be done - no treatment and no " cure " except

<the unacceptable to me> total hysterectomy).

I'd love to know if there was an increased risk of gynae tumours - I

guess that they are pretty common anyway so it would be difficult to

judge.

Just a few minor side effects for the ladies then.....

Funny it has had the opposite effect on me. I had one light period which

lasted half a day 3 weeks after starting Spiro and that was it. When I

stopped Spiro to prepare for AVS and was experimenting with dosage, it came

back lightly again and once I increased Spiro, no more periods.

I guess another reason to say we all are different in taking medication and

how the side effects work for individual persons.
