Water retention from testosterone therapy

[Guest guest]

Hey Group,

Is water retention caused by testosterone or the conversion of testosterone

to estrogen? I've got high estrogen that I am finally treating and I also

have a puffy face from water retention. When I get my estrogen under

control, will my water retention go down?

Thanks,

I think of puffy face as high cortisol or low thyroid. When DH had high

estrogen, he had red face, not puffy face.

Mike,

I sure hope so I can lose 5 lbs of water from letting my E2 levels get to high

and taking some extra Arimidex.

Barb this is a good point I never had a puffy face but my hands and feet would

swell up.

When my estrogen was highest (9 months pregnant), boy were my hands and feet

swollen. Couldn't wear my rings, ankles disappeared, but above the neck? I

looked so pretty! Skin so smooth, hair so full and shiny LOL!

I even had this problem when I went on Growth Hormones it got so bad I could not

feel my hands and feet had to stop taking it.
