I was using isotroin20 for a while and it seems to have given me PCOD. Now I'm on aldactone50 and it's causing breast pain. I'm really worried and wondering if I should just stop taking it immediately or if I need to gradually reduce the dosage. Any advice on what I should do?

It is not recommended to stop aldactone-50 abruptly, as it can lead to potential withdrawal effects. It is advisable to gradually reduce the dosage under the guidance of your healthcare provider. You may need to taper off the medication slowly to minimize any potential side effects.

I'm really curious about sperm donationis it actually a thing? Is it similar to blood donation in the sense that it's a voluntary thing anyone can do, or is it more complicated? And where would someone go if they're interested in donating sperm?

To remove the Copper-T (IUD), visit a government hospital or a private clinic with a gynecologist. Ensure it's removed by a trained medical professional to avoid complications. Bring your wife's medical records and discharge summary from the hospital where the Copper-T was inserted. Removal is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
