The doctor doesn't think a PET scan is necessary (I asked). The last PET scan I had was in May and it had a lot of hot spots on it becasue I was still healing from my colon resection. For some reason, the doctor doesn't think a PET scan is what I need now. Thanks for putting my mind at ease about the spots.
Spironolactone and acne have always been looked upon as a favorable combination. In other words, Spironolactone is often used by dermatologists to treat acne . Spironolactone belongs to the class of drugs known as antiandrogens. Antiandrogens are hormone inhibitors.
Spironolactone fits (blocks) your testosterone receptor, which is why itâs used, but unfortunately, it also disrupts ovulation, estrogen metabolism and adrenal function. The drug causes loss of libido, menstrual irregularity, and breast pain. It has been linked with breast cysts, and possibly breast cancer. By interfering with your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, spironolactone causes low blood pressure, headaches, fatigue, and depression. It increases the risk for blood clots. I know you want a fast, effective solution for your hair loss, but spironolactone is not it.
