Spironoilactone/Aldosterone

Hi all...

For 10 years before surgery I was on spironolactone/aldosterone to control my androgens / free testosterone and and control excess hair growth. I stopped taking it 1 month before surgery (5 months ago). My hair growth is back with a vengance, and I would like to start it again. I am booking an appointment with my endo, but thought I would ask here:

Have any of you been on this drug before surgery and resumed taking it afterwards, or alternatively have any of you been advised that you shouldn't take it after surgery?

Thanks!

I wasn't on it before surgery but am on it now.

I know one worry is potassium when on this med as it is also used to treat hypertension, as we know we eliminate alot of some problems with surgery and it could effect our potassium to much. Work with your endo, it may require some blood draws to keep tabs.

Oh, good thinking, I forgot about the potassium issue. Hmm.

Endo it is, thanks!
