Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan and Spironolactone
Hi everyone!
I just went to a herbalist doctor with my friend from work and she communicated with him for me regarding a large ovarian cyst I have and menstrual pain.
He recommended Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan which I understand is really common for treating menstrual pain and ovarian masses through blood stimulation.
However, I was not able to communicate that I take 50 mg of Spironolactane for hormonal acne already. I have been taking it for about 1 year. I messaged my PCP but they are saying they can’t make recommendations for supplements not prescribed through their system.
It seems like the risks have to do with different effects each have on hormones and maybe potassium/ electrolyte levels. Does anyone have any insight about how risky it might be to start the GZFW? I really want to try to manage the menstrual and cyst pain naturally and avoid laparoscopic surgery. Thank you!
