Dark Urine, Severe Weight Gain, Missed Periods, Acne Breakouts. Have Severe Swelling In Legs, Ankle And Feet. Solution?
Hi, I'm 32 and female, I have dark urine, gained a lot of weight over short amount of time however I think it's due to the severe swelling in my legs and ankles and feet. I also have recently stopped having a menstrual cycle for the past 2 months and the swelling has been going on for about 9 months maybe a little longer. I did see a dr but it was an urgent care dr about 6 months ago and he just said keep an eye on it. What do you think could be the cause of this and also I now have horrible acne breakouts that I've never had before in my life.??? Any answers would be very helpful and something more then the generic answers of water retention cause that much I already know lol thank you for your time. Tonya
The symptoms are most likely to be related to hypothyroidism. It is strongly associated with sudden weight gain and menstrual irregularities. All these are due to hormonal imbalance. Do a thyroid function test and get it conformed. Consult your doctor for more help.
