I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

Is it okay to take fruselac ds every day for water retention because of my hypothyroidism? I'm worried about any side effects. I've been feeling more sluggish and noticed some weight gain because of the water retention. Are there any other remedies or home treatments I could try instead?

-Fruselac DS is a diuretic often prescribed for water retention, but using it daily for hypothyroidism-related symptoms might cause side effects like dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. It's best to discuss with your doctor for personalized advice. As
