Here is what the web says: (from http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/spiron_ad.htm )

Endocrine: Gynecomastia (see PRECAUTIONS), inability to achieve or maintain erection, irregular menses or amenorrhea, postmenopausal bleeding. Carcinoma of the breast has been reported in patients taking spironolactone but a cause and effect relationship has not been established.

Note: you can look up the side effects of this and other medications at http://www.rxlist.com -- it's great! You get way more info than you need, but it lays it all out.
