Can Aldactone Cause Light Vaginal Bleeding?
I am 40 years old and started taking 100mg of aldactone daily for the past 9 months for hairloss (dermatology recommended). I just started experiencing light vaginal bleeding for the past week, mid cycle. No pain, bloating...Is this secondary to aldactone?
