Womens Health :: Retaining Water And Have Put On 20 Lbs
Apr 24, 2014
I am a 41 year old female. For the last two weeks I have been retaining water and have put on 20 lbs! For the first two days I took lasik and that kept it at bay but did not reduce any swelling. My last blood test was 90 days ago and all was fine. My family care doctor has ordered blood work for cancer, liver and thyroid tests as well a ct scan of my abdomen/cervical region with and without contrast in case of any blockages. Short of acute kidney failure is there anything else you can think of that would cause this.

When a patient goes to an obgyne and given 1 fluconazole tab and some antifungal and mild steroid cream (10 days) for fungal infection, but symptoms like vulval itch continues, can the patient continue w/ the cream more days or is it advised to stop? A friend was advised the discomfort may be caused by diabetes too, wc the doctor admitted she had as symptom before being diagnosed as having that. Have other readers experienced this before going for diabetes tests too?

Recently I've been trying this new thing where I drink 4l of water a day, just because I've stopped drinking anything sugary and/or fizzy and would rather drink healthy filtered mineral water, is 4l a day too much and does it put me at risk of drowning my blood? I heard that you're only supposed to drink about 2l, so if I'm going overboard I should probably stop.

I am a physiotherapy student in a hospital doing some training and one time, I went into in the ward to check few patients along with a supervisor. Afterwards, I proceeded to wash my hands but because there was some kind of partially opened cupboard in front of me, I decided to close it well and in the process some water in my hands splashed and made its way into my nose and eyes. I mean, if one of the patients that we did check is HIV positive, will this event put me at risk considering that the virus could have been in my hands but got into my eyes and nose because of the splash. I do not remember any wetness in my hands before I wash my hands.Is this of concern for HIV transmission?

I've been suffering from water infections since I was around 11/12 I am now almost 17 and recently have an infection weekly for the past few months. The doctors have given me endless antibiotics which one type I've become resistant to and the cranberry power things which you mix with water when I was younger. I literally have tried everything to avoid getting an infection including cranberry juice , barley water , water itself , cotton knickers, no perfumed products around the area , peeing straight after sex and nothing prevents it!! Really needing advice as the doctors will just give me more antibiotics also around November 2015 I had scans around my kidneys and back and everything was clear?

I've suffered from severe anxiety for about six months now. It started with headaches and fatigue, then I started getting panic attacks a couple of months later and now I am obsessed with my health and when I might die.
Today, for example, I woke up with a heavy right leg and also pain in my thigh and calf. My first thought was blood clot and now I've wasted another whole day worrying about it. This happens all the time to the point where I've become agoraphobic and find it very difficult to continue with work and any activities I used to enjoy.
I've had six sessions of CBT so far and I'm not finding it great to be honest. I'm just so so tired of constantly being aware of my mortality and scanning my body for symptoms 24/7. Even when I'm out, like last night when I went to a comedy gig, the whole night I was scanning my body checking everything was ok and preparing to make a quick escape if necessary.

Does anybody suffer from water retention on this med? I currently taking 45mg and only drink tea or bottled water, but my face is puffy and my knees and ankles have ballooned up to the fact that I feel I cannot bend my ankles, I am willing to put up with this as the med is helping loads, I have tried herbal diuretics that don't seem to help, and when I do go for a pee its like nothing comes out, is this what causes the weight gain as I have not had the munchies like so many people seem to have on hear.
Also I am terrified of taking the 45mg tablet, I have been taking 30 + 15 mg, has anybody noticed a difference, will my good sleep go? who and I do sweat a lot, night and day.
