Hi Abby,

I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS and also have a slightly high level of male hormone. My endo specialist wants to put me on Aldactone for my skin - i have acne on my back. Does it work and have you had any side effects. I am currently taking a progestogen only contraceptive pill.

Incidentally, I have been pregnant in the past

I would appreciate any feed back on Aldactone.
