Extreme swelling

Asked for Female, 39 years

Iam experiencing major swelling in my feet, ankles, legs, hands, and face. About 3 weeks ago i finished a prescription for prometrium because i have been trying to get pregnant. The tests i had done 2 months ago said that my hormone levels were low and that i was not ovulating and thats why i was given prometrium. The pregnancy test they had came negative. My feet and ankles are so swollen that they feel like they are going to pop when i walk. Please explain and recommend solution

Dear Patient,

Prometrium contains the hormone Progestrin which causes weight gain. You will have to indulge in regular exercise (which btw increases your chances of conceiving!!) and decrease your caloric intake. Here is an article you can read which can help explain your symptoms and how to combat it
