What Causes Swollen Feet And Ankles And Sensitive Nipples?

I ve been diagnosed with pcos in 2003 and was told that I would need fertility drugs to get pregnant. My husnabd and i started seeing a RE in last september. After many negative pregnancy tests, we stopped fertility treatment in january. Starting in January, my nipples have been super sensitive and lately I have swollen ankles and feet. I have also have taken several pregnancy tests since january and all have come back negative. Do you know what could be causing the swollen feet & ankles and sensitive nipples?

Hi,

Noted your history of PCOS and taking treatment for getting pregnant, negative pregnancy but now there is swelling of feet and ankles, sensitive nipples.
Since you are being treated for PCOS and for infertility, you must have received hormonal preparations. Hormones cause lots of changes in body including water retention, hormonal imbalances, change of psychological status and so on.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult a Gynecologist again and more importantly the Endocrinologist to get a clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations so that a proper diagnosis of the present effects and its relationship with the reports can help him to adjust your dose or start on differently to give you positive results.
Reduce salt intake.
Avoid stress and anxiety as these directly affect the hormonal balance.
Get fresh investigations whenever asked so as the requirements in females change frequently.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
