spironolactone

has anyone taking spironolactone for PCOS noticed breast increase OR decrease? I noticed a marked decrease but most websites state breast increase as side effect for men taking spironolactone.
Thanks and God bless

I have been taking spironolactone for androgen access symptoms. After a few months, my breasts swelled up about 2 cup sizes and hurt an extraordinary amount. I was in severe pain all the time. This laste for about 2 months, then they gradually began to shrink back down until they were actually smaller than before I started the spironolactone (although they were really small to begin with anyway). Now I've been doing NBE the last 4 months, with herbs to try to get them bigger and fuller.

Spironolactone is a diuretic so it should reduce any water retention in the breasts. A know side effect is breast growth in men, not sure if this usually happens in women or not. Otherwise you could try Dianette / Ginette or Yasmin contraceptive all of which contain anti-androgens.

Thank you so much. This helps a great deal. I also noticed breast tenderness and slight increase in the first few weeks of usage. But now my boobs have shrunk a whole cup size! I am horrified. To make matters worse the acne & facial hair have not reduced either. bummer.
